“This is the first in the Noughts and crosses trilogy,...”

written by hotlottie13 on 18/12/2006

This is the first in the Noughts and crosses trilogy, and it's guaranteed to grab the attention of any teenager or adult. This tantalising tale will instantly flip your world upside down.



Malorie Blackman is lovable in different ways. In the book we become attached and intrigued by the friendship between Stephy (a cross) and Callum (a nought), in a Romeo and Juliet style story. Stephy's mother (Jasmine) fired Callum's mum (Meggie) for not saying the right thing to Stephy's farther. In two separate worlds they still managed to find the love in it all.



Woven into the plot of an equalitist group (Libyan Matilda), we become increasingly inquisitive to know more of their plans. The emotional plot twists are forever giving more depth to the story.



Blackman writes so that you can visualize each situation and predicament that the characters are in. Yu can feel the emotions, as she uses both of the main characters perspectives in the real life situations; twists are introduced at every turn, which makes the book very addictive.



Every chapter is packed full of original adventures, which constantly surprise and shock the reader. The first in the noughts and crosses trilogy stands alone as an excellent book, regardless of whether you read any other book in the trilogy. It's a riveting tale of love, deception, and big choices, which will make you cry with sadness and laughter.
