Book Review: The Boy Who Live In The Ceiling by Cara Thurlbourn
This book! I absolutely loved this novel. It is a story about love, loss and the effects it has on people. When I first started the novel I wasn’t sure how the concept would work, but Cara skilfully created a novel where the events seem believable.

Book Review: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
When I was studying my masters, another student recommended We to me and I finally got around to reading it. This classic novel was published in Russia in 1924 and has been described as the influencing 1984, Brave New World and others. This book was so controversial for its time, that Zamyatin couldn’t publish it in Russia under Stalin’s rule.
