THE FALLEN CHILDREN reviews and stuff!

6/15/2017

THE FALLEN CHILDREN has been out for about 6 weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with the response to it. Although I knew it wouldn't be universally liked, and reviews reflect that, the amount of positive feedback I've had has been overwhelming.

In a totally-not-self-indulgent move, I thought I'd round up a few reviews here (the positive ones, obviously).

The Guardian (print): "Owen examines teenage credibility, mob mentality and how love, or the lack of it, shapes any kind of life. This is a riveting refashioning of a science fiction classic." 

The Irish Times: "...this is not shy about its intentions to sympathise with and empower young people, but the science-fiction angle ensures that it is also a gripping, engrossing read."

SFX Magazine (print): "Engrossing, unusual, and unpatronising."

Shift Zine: "David has managed to bring a classic science fiction story up to speed, using his superb voice to pull out the hopelessness of many modern teens from poorer, working class backgrounds."

The Book Bag: "It's an interesting premise, has great pace, and a thoroughly absorbing sense of claustrophobia in the setting confined to a tower block."

Vicki in Neverland: "Another book I couldn't put down, I was hooked! I remember when I was only about 100 pages in saying "this book is so creepy but so good!""

​THE FALLEN CHILDREN is available right now!
