This book is deeply moving and very touching. It is about discrimination and injustice and brutal violence. Yet it is also about love and tenderness.It made me think about life beyond how we know it, and how the colour of our skin can be so important in our lives.
Malorie Blackman noughts and crosses is the first book in a superb trilogy. It is set in a world where black is right and white is wrong. Sephy (the daughter of a leading cross) and Callum (a lowly nought) are two best friends who eventually fall in love. Throughout this emotional story, we follow their journey together as they try to pick up the pieces after a bomb goes off.
The most motivational part in this story for me is how two humans, from completely different backgrounds , fight against the world to be together. But what will happen when their world is divided by racial hatred, or will their passion for one another be enough to fight back?
"What I enjoyed most were the characters - so beautifully drawn that you can really believe that these people exist"
"A compelling, engrossing and startling novel, it makes us look more closely at the questions of colour that still plague the world we live in"
Noughts and crosses is a powerful novel, with a complexed plot line, but with a very simple message being put across. If you are able to appreciate this ssometimes: disturbing, distressing, or heartfelt novel, you will read it through to the end and its motivational message will linger in the mind way after it is finished.
Great review. You have a good writing style, so I'm sure your blog will do well. You might want to change the design a little to fit the topic :)
