Fury

by Shirley Marr

This book blew me away. It's one of those stories that will be with you long after you turn the last page.

It is a little slow to start with but I found myself intrigued by both the format and the main character. Particularly towards the end I started flying through it unable to tear myself away.

I really loved Neil and wish we saw more of him but I understand why it wasn't really about that. The characters were so vivid and utterly flawed. It was nice to see characters who aren't all that likeable. And honestly their whole little weird dynamic was what made it so utterly realistic and honest. The brutal portrayal of school life was what sold it for me.

I doubt it would be everyone's taste but it is refreshing to read something which is so original and well written.
