Olivia's review of Being
By Olivia Scott-Berry / Spinebreakers Crew
Kevin Brooks, best-selling author of Martyn Pig and Candy has written another absorbing, and at the same time harrowing tale. Brooks continues to surprise, as each book deals brilliantly with a ever-changing variety of subjects.
Sixteen-year-old Robert finds his life turned upside down after a routine procedure goes horribly wrong. On the run, with a price on his head and hardly daring to think about what’s going on inside of him, Robert turns to the only person he can think of…
You will find yourself wondering about all kinds of things after reading this book, questioning your own humanity, wondering about human life. Kevin Brooks has, once again, woven an enticing and thought-provoking masterpiece that will never cease to amaze.
This gritty, fast-paced thriller of a novel is sure to keep you turning the pages, you won’t be able to put it down. And, as ever, Brooks has created a tantalising ending which will have you pleading for more.
