Of appeal to teenagers, particularly boys, Monk’s straight writing style makes for an easy read. The story line, which revolves around rugby, control and girlfriends, flows seamlessly. Interesting issues: rich vs poor, role models (particularly fathers – Matthew’s Dad is in jail), parenting and honesty are explored effectively in this novel.
