Reviews of Child - B

'This novel addresses some intense and pertinent subjects, whilst at the same time being relatively easy to read.  It is well written and flows easily with a very good use of language.  From the opening quotes it is intriguing and the author has been clever in capturing and retaining the reader's attention.  The story is clear and consistent.'

Reader for publisher Macmillan

‘[ Child B ]…is thought-provoking and explores a difficult subject with considerable imagination.'

Editor - Macmillan

‘..[T]he revelation of just who and what “child B” is, was a stunning moment and it was from that point it became a real page turner. I found it thoughtful, complex, thought provoking and profound.'

John Wharmsley – English teacher

‘A moving novel that questions the very nature of news and its presentation.'

Richard Moreton

‘Captures the true horror of human behaviour. The hairs on the back of my neck responded appropriately.'

Jamie Stephenson – probation officer

'I admired the sheer style of your writing, as well as the wryness and authority of the narrative voice.' 

Will Atkins, Macmillan New Writing

'This is an absorbing story. You have a talent for evoking a scene. You also have an ear for dialogue and are able to transcribe it as only someone who understands the written word can.'

Rachel Hazelwood, The Write Steps
