A propos du livre

Revue de presse

... a cultural pick 'n' mix of influences spanning the decades...There is an impressive filmic quality to the novel - you can literally see it rolling out before you as you read...altogether a pretty damn good read. --The Telegraph

I absolutely adored it. I think it's really REALLY excellent, the best YA thing I've read in ages...Fantastic story, wonderful writing, and the characters are just SO good. Especially Paisley, who is now my heroine...An outstandingly wonderful novel...It's so good, I'd even recommend it to people I don't like. --Award-winning author Kevin Brooks

...this book could do what Catcher in the Rye has done for more than a generation of readers but unlike J D Salinger, let's hope the author continues to deliver a knock-out punch with each new book that's published! Pretty Bad Things is something really special so expect it to be talked about in years to come. --Lovereading.co.uk
