• What Nerve!

  This is a wild, daring, crazy subject to write about. Barry Lyga pulls it off like a star. Just the research is daunting, the insight, the willingness to dive into the murkiest center of what-ifs and the human psyche's responses to them. Lyga does it with a flow and an ease that makes you read with your heart cycling through light and heavy, light and heavy. I laughed out loud at the quirky thought processes of our main boy. I smirked happily at his puppy love. And then there was the guilt—the living with the memory hole of a lost sister—the voice waking him up at night—the trailer in the forest waiting with the promise of relief. This is a story to pick out of that treasure chest of amazing reads. I promise it's one that will stay with you for a long time to come.

  ❗Book Review❗Book : BANG by Barry Lyga Published : 2017 *Pages: 289 *Price: ₹900(hardcover) Genre : Young Adult Fiction Finished up the book in some 3 hours or so 🙄 Here's the review (unbiased & personal view) : 2⭐/5⭐ A teen struggles with his past over an incident which ended up killing his 4 months old sister by accident when he was four years old. The book describes about his day to day reflections and reactions & how he acts with others/just anything & everything based on this incident. Ultimately he overcomes/makes peace with it at the end of the book. There was no plot or twist anywhere in the storyline. The language is simple but the lines are dull. So many times I felt like this was supposed to be an emotional or a realistic story but sadly I did not feel like it was qualified in either sense. 🌟Plus points : 😇 characters were warm and honest. 😉Some parts were genuinely funny. 👍 The last assignment (last few pages) description rocks! However, I could not find anything new or unique. So I would not recommend this book. ❗ Too bland to feel and enjoy 😊 Hope I like his other books. 😌 Unfortunate first book of a new find author. 😰 I hope his other books make a difference.

• Incredible

  This is the book I've dreamt of writing, and might still do so because I came up with a very similar idea. Whether it will be half as good as Barry Lyga's remains to be seen. Congratulations on a very close to perfect novel!

• Great book!

  The book is amazing and I love how Barry Lyga Explores The topic of suicide because while it is interesting to learn about, its also quite frightening and very sad. Reading the book was difficult at first because I felt sorry for what happened to Sebastian as a child. I can’t imagine the anguish and pain he felt when he accidentally shot his baby sister. There was one point in the story where I cried a bit because of how much he must’ve hated himself, and how suicide was lingering in his mind. Overall, the book was excellent and I really enjoy reading Barry Lyga’s books.

• Good Book
