Orangeboy: Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Older Children, winner of the YA Book Prize

Product Information

Plotting and pacing: This is a strong aspect of the novel. It’s a pacey read, with plenty going on in poor Marlon’s life. There’s the whole ‘Mr Orange’ mystery, but there’s also plenty of conflict and mess in his family life too. I enjoyed the thread about his Dad, and the way this was linked in through music – I think that’s a key way a lot of people relate through the generations, which isn’t always noted, so it was nice to see it brought out here.

Maar ik had wel heel veel moeite met de hoofdpersoon en de keuzes die hij maakte. Misschien ben ik hier simpelweg te oud voor. Ik weet dat ik als tiener ook een hoop achterhield voor mijn moeder, maar dan nog. Marlons moeder komt op mij over als een begripvolle moeder die ondanks de tegenslagen in haar leven verwoed haar best doet er iets van te maken en haar twee jongens alle kansen wil geven om hogerop te komen.Flood, Alison (25 May 2021).

It had its strong points, and it covers subject matter which is probably of interest to many teens, but I didn't enjoy reading it at all. I had to drag myself through it, and even the suspenseful elements didn't drive me through the plot. Also, it felt overlong - and the narrative jumped and 'jived' (lots of street lingo) in a way that meant I couldn't just skim it. Having said all that: it was the YA Book Prize winner for 2017, and I respect that I was probably just not the right reader for this book. Every Pet needs to eat to relinquish their Hunger, which increases by 0.03% every second (maximum hunger reached in 3333 seconds or roughly 1 hour). At 30% Hunger, Pets become hungry and the Hunger icon will appear above their head to notify the crew that they need feeding. The player can feed them by dropping an appropriate food item on the ground and the tamed Creature will approach and consume it immediately. It stops requiring food when Hunger is below 30%.

Laat ik beginnen met aangeven dat dit boek me al vanaf het begin niet bijzonder aansprak. Ik zou dit boek zelf nooit gekocht hebben in de boekwinkel. Dat komt met name omdat ik YA contemporaries in veel gevallen tegen vind vallen. Maar dat komt ook omdat ik merk dat de bendecultuur echt heel goed en invoelbaar geschreven moet zijn om voor mij herkenbaar te worden. Ik heb, en wellicht is dat een tekortkoming, moeite me daarmee te verbinden.
