I read this straight after reading 'There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom'. I was hoping that it was going to be as good...and...it...wasn't quite. Probably because emotionally it didn't quite grab me in the same way.
Having said that, I really really enjoyed it. It is such a strange concept to have a load of young boys digging holes in the middle of the desert. Yet it works so well. The climax to the book is fantastic and had me desperate to know what would happen.
Louis Sachar is an author I'd not read before, but after these two books I'll be looking out for his others. Brill brill brill!
