An excellent book. 16-year-old Robert wakes up on an operating table, but the operation isn't over. He can hear doctors' voices and feel his own pain, but he can't communicate.
There's something inside him, something unexpected, something horrifying. And it soon dawns on Robert that he is not safe. He has to escape, he has to survive and 'they' are out to get him.
Violence and fear abound as Robert flees for his life, but it's a voyage of discovery as well as a fight for survival. What is like to be human? What is like to have feelings? Who is he? What is he?
It's a compelling read and has been longlisted for Carnegie 08. It'd certainly get a shortlist vote from me if I was one of the judges.
