![]() ![]() In actual fact I only put the book down once (to sleep) and read the whole thing in just two sittings - a highly unlikely event when you have 2 young kids full of post-Christmas frenzy. I kept thinking, I'm going to put this down in a minute, but I didn't eventually abandoning any irrational thoughts that I was reading something I shouldn't (the pink book cover doesn't help in that regard). ![]() But the book is insidious, it gets to you without you even realising it. That's one of the advantages of being sent books to review, you can get taken out of your comfort zone and sometimes that's a good thing.Īt first it did feel a little uncomfortable, I am after all a middle-aged 30 something man for all intents reading a 15 year-old girl's (fictional) diary. ![]() It's not even a book I thought I would enjoy either, if someone had approached me and asked me to read a novel about a 15 year old girls account of her life in a boarding school - delivered in the form of diary entries - I would have given them an odd look and picked up a PKD novel or perhaps a China Miéville story instead. Among Others is about as different from any novel I have read than the Moon is from a piece of pie. ![]()
