Your book is not my normal read. I loved it from cover to beautiful cover and found the connection with Romeo and Juliet fascinating. I now need to go and see the play again. I believe it will appeal to reders of all ages. I look forward to your next book!
A fantastic book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The story grabbed me from the opening page right to the very last page - I couldn't put it down! The ideas and moral dilemmas introduced throughout are creatively presented and beautifully resolved. This book is a fun read that handles serious subjects with a wonderfully deft and easy touch. Well done!
I loved the futuristic setting of the novel, a bleak environment due to global warming. AI is everwhere, from the teaching staff down to the janitor. The story unfolds with humour and pathos. The only things that have remained the same are the bored teenagers and an old school principal with a liking for Rock ans Roll. It's interesting and funny book. Well worth a read.
