"¿fresh and compelling" (Lindsey Fraser The Guardian Education, 18 March 2003)

"A taut and compelling novel" (Financial Times, April 2003)

"The vocabulary and writing style are fresh, fluent and well tailored to the target audience¿.Elliot's thoughts are presented with such vivid candour as to grip the reader from page one" (Elliot Ross, Age 16 The Herald, 5 April 2003)

"Gardner has produced an extraordinary novel, one which is powerful and intense¿You feel every moment of Elliot's agonies and anguish thanks to the powerful use of language and imagery and the sheer intensity of the plot. I couldn't put this book down¿Each twist and turn, each revelation, brings a surprise. It is a real gem." (Birmingham Post, 3 May 2003)
