"Free Will Review

Hi - I had your book to read as a reading assignment, I got a question at the end wrong though so it wouldnt let me submit, which is a shame as I really enjoyed it. I thouught I would let you know and do a free will review as below:

Hi, I read your extract and found it really engaging. It is the first teenage literature that has caught my imagination really and I was interested in the characters and their situation.

Your descriptions are good, characterisation, setting, dialogue etc.

I think its really interesting that you have made Zander sign, this is quite unusual. Also, you seem to let elements of their back grounds out at the right time to intrigue the reader and make them wonder about what has happened.
I really got lost in the story, it read so well. I really cared about the characters. I actually wanted to read more. Best of luck with it, its great.


Synopsis
