Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton
5.0

I've read several of Rosamund Lupton's previous books; and I really love her writing style, it always makes me think and though the subject matters for her books differs; there is just something there, compelling you to keep reading them - I just adore her writing style and really feel like you can tell it's one of hers.

Three Hours is an absolutely compelling read; I couldn't put it down once I got into it. The story is horrifying, and every parents worst nightmare. I really felt like all of the differing points of view conveyed that horror, whether it was a parent, teacher, police officer or even the pupils themselves.

The setting was so well written and atmospheric; and though the subject matter was emotive, I just wanted to keep reading. I felt that the pacing was really well done and plotted perfectly. I gasped out loud several times and my heart was racing. Absolutely gripping, and I'd highly recommend it.
