Book of the Week 9/16/13
The Enemy by Charlie Higson
The Enemy is a thick sci-fi book of nearly 450 pages. Some of the main characters are very young, and some of them are slightly older, but they are all portrayed well as mature, thoughtful characters. I am only partway through, and the youngest main character is Small Sam, who is probably about six or seven, although it is still interesting to be inside his head. Some of the other perspectives - Arran and Maxie - are slightly more engaging, but so far, their story as a whole calls for a lot of big decisions and mature thoughts necessary for even the young children. I liked the writing style; it seems like the author is really able to get inside these kid's thoughts and he displays them well for the reader.
