This book is quite enjoyable. I enjoyed it and one of my favourite books so far out of the Carnegie books we have read.

I like how the book gives you an insight into other religions to see others views on abortion. I enjoyed the range of emotions that the characters showed throughout the book.
Sophie
Little Bang
I found that the book really explored the emotions that the characters felt and made you question your opinion about how abortion is perceived, I found this book very enjoyable and I think others will too.
Natasha
Little Bang
I like how little bang uses a dual narrative to show which emotions both Sid and Mel feel following the problem of not being able to have a abortion. following them through this Rolle coaster of events truly shows how their actions affect them. but to me personally I could not relate to either of the characters.

Little bang is the first book I have read that is written with a duel narrative. I found this style really interesting and loved how unique it was to all he other books I have read. I love the contrast between Sid's and Mel's thoughts at the beginning at the new years party where Mel thought Sid wouldn't want her to go but Sid was actually exited for her to come and the main reason he invited the girls to come.

Little Bang
I like how little bang has a dual narrative and switches between Mel and Sid to create different sides and conversations going round in their head. I also admire how Mel and Sid are very different characters but they still like eachother.

I loved the concept of the story and it really showed the characters development and how they reacted to the obstacles that were put in their paths, I really loved the story overall.
Natasha
King of Nothing
I liked the concept of the story, and the use of vocabulary to entice younger readers and I liked how the main character developed over the course of the book.

King of Nothing
I enjoyed how to the book was as it gave me an insight to the experience of what their lifestyles are like and how a person can change based on their experiences. It also shows that you shouldn't need to impress your friends by doing something you aren't comfortable with especially if it affects others negatively. It was a very unique and interesting read though.

I liked the use of the modern slang that was implemented through out the book because it made it a book that all different people can read. I also like the concept of the story and how we can see the characters develop.
Isla
Little Bang
I found the book very interesting as i have never seen a book about teenage pregnancies and I found it really interesting. It was very in-depth to the steps that are followed at that age and it displayed tension and shock really well between the characters. I found the layout of the book very interesting as well like the way it switched between characters.

I enjoyed reading this book and how it really shows how at school being mean does not show power. Following Anton's story truly shows that you should never be held back from whoever or whatever you desire to befriend or follow. Anton's emotional depth really felt like this novel was more than a book. I would really enjoy more from this author.

I thought the book was intriguing and I love how Anton changes his opinion on Matthew and becomes friends with him after ignoring him throughout school. It shows how you don't have to stay with your friends if they are being rude.

I like the how main character speaks and the book was overall intriguing. I could relate to a lot of stuff he thought at the beginning. I love how at one point Anton didn't like Mathew at the start but later on in the book he started to feel almost sorry for him and becomes friends. I think this book is good for an audience of the age 12-16
