The first half of the book is a manga version of Frankenstien, which is fabulous! I didn't care as much for the other stories afterward - they were just tacked on.

Although it started out promising, this book wound up being a huge flop. It makes absolutely no sense.

A must-read book for anyone living in Britain or is curious to learn more about Britain's huge transphobia problem. Faye does a fantastic job with writing, as well as narrating, this book. It's one I can see myself rereading multiple times.

I've loved the film for years and finally got around to reading the book it was based on. The hype is real - I really loved this and the film follows it pretty closely. The author narrates the audiobook, something I don't always enjoy, and does a great job.

Not my favourite of Ray Bradbury's book, but a thumping good read regardless. Good, atmospheric horror and the world's sketchiest carnival. I listened to the audiobook and would recommend it!

An absolutely beautiful book about friendships, finding yourself, and the effects of bullying. This may be one of my favourite books ever - I can't recommend it more highly.

A surprisingly dull read, given the description. I'm not to keen on reading about mopey teenage boys in the first place, but this kid was the worst.
