Recenzje

On Born Scared: 'Hugely readable . . . confoundedly gripping'', Independent on Sunday

'On Being: A subtle, spooky, headlong dash through the dark edges of romantic science fiction, a genre Kevin Brooks - with his usual delight in flouting convention - appears to have invented', Meg Rosoff, award-winning author of How I Live Now
