Maggot Moon Audiobook

" Loved the pace of this book. Some swearing so be careful of primary school children. Great parallels to Hitler's Nazi regime so great if studying propaganda, repression etc.. Well deserved to be in the Carnegie selection, can't wait to meet Sally Gardner in June. "

" Really a 3.5; the ending could have been much better. Still, loved the characters and the writing. "

" This dystopia was told in a rather halting, stunted fashion and at some places it was rather hard to understand. However, I love the rat/fly illustrations creeping about in the book, illustrating the situation. (view spoiler)[ Somehow reminiscent of Hitler's Nazi regime, the creepy Motherland I feel was not explained as fully as I would like to have been and even now I'm not sure whether he died at the end or not. I hope there's a sequel. (hide spoiler)] "

" A short and unexpected read. I wasn't sure what to expect but was swayed after seeing all of the good reviews. There are lots of themes and it is quite thought provoking but not one of my favourite reads. A pretty useless review really but I'm still unsure of how I feel about this book...?! "

" Brilliant, I loved the way it was written, the characters, the plot and the imagery. Just brilliant. "

" A very engaging teenage fiction novel. "

" This is a short but intense read and I am not quite sure what my final feelings are about the book. In the end, I don't think I liked the ending and that is what has me at a loss for words on this book. I will have to write a formal review for SOYAMRG but I definitely need to sit on it for a while. "

" That was one of the fastest, but most satisfying reads I've had in ages- No hesitation in recommending it to adults or young people whatsoever "

" Amazing! Why did I not read this sooner!? Think the cover put me off, looked quite young. Some serious violence that stays with you. Big themes, clever plot, beautiful words. "

" Unusual story. Standish Treadwell a brilliant character- brave, courageous, different. Found myself flying through the pages with little clue as to how it was going to turn out in the end. "

" Chilling and sad, but well done. "

" Oh quite a disturbing book that really leaves you to fill in the gaps yourself. A YA book but I reckon older readers would actually get more out of it. Brilliantly written and quite shocking in places, a book that will leave you thinking about it for a long time after you have finished. "
