Little Bang
I really enjoyed little bang, and I found the plot and Realistic scenario very interesting. I found the way the book very openly talked about sensitive topics like abortion and teenage pregnancy very unusual. I thought the character Mel was very relatable and well described, and Sid who slowly grew to want to keep little bang to prove Lucille wrong , fascinating. I became engrossed in the constant debating going on in Mel's head; should she keep the baby? Does she really want to become a parent at 16? Is Sid okay with all of this? Is abortion acceptable? I did find certain parts quite slow though and the pace jumped about alot. I overall loved little bang and found it hard to put down. I would recommend this to age 12+

All That It Ever Meant
I found 'all that it ever meant' and interesting read overall. I found that to begin with he book was quite confusing and slow but as you got further through the book, thing started to make more sense, as it built up to the ending. I love the character of meticais with their bright outfits and unusual attitude and refusal to answer questions. I loved how the book was written, less traditional writing, more like Mati (the main character) was having a casual conversation with you.
