Like Noughts and Crosses, this is a real page-turner. There’s a lot more hate and less love in this one though. There are more good observations of how black/white people are represented in the media, treated by police etc. It’s written in the same style: very simple, almost like a script. The ending is a cliffhanger but, because I’ve read the third book’s blurb I know what the outcome is. I agree with a book reviewer who condemned it as a lazy ending; I would have preferred a decisive and devastating ending like that of Noughts and Crosses. Still, this is a complusive read and I can’t wait read to the next one.
