This book is absolutely brilliant, beautiful and addictive, but if there is one thing I'll never be able to handle in this life, it's gore and children's horrific deaths. Reading about two of the children being stabbed to death on the neck and chest by some wasp-like creatures in such detail gave me some serious nightmares. As much as I want to know what happens next, I'd much rather read something more cheerful.

This story is beautiful, depressing, horrifying and so addictive, that I keep wondering what will happen next."

Ay ay, Choko G! :) I think watching the news on the TV is enough horror for the day XD

Damian Dubois The news is one program we never have running on the Telly these days. No way I want my daughter watching all the chaos, mayhem, death, destruction and depravity out there in the world :(
