More Than This by Patrick Ness – A Sci-Fi recommendation by Mrs Thurston

fictures

The genre of science fiction is not normally my ‘cup of tea’ however once I read the blurb I was hooked.

Whilst the first few pages around Seth, the main character, are somewhat gruesome, the concept of humans being in two realities quickly drew me in. The story deepens quickly with the addition of two characters, themselves children, who have undergone unpleasant experiences, underpinned by the presence of a dark human-like face-less ‘creature’ which adds the aspect of fear throughout the book.

More-Than-ThisA book, I found, that once started was hard to put down. If you enjoy realities different to our own and be left thinking “could this be how it is?” then please take a read.
