Traversing London via rooftop has become second nature for seventeen year old David Pettyfer. Whats not second nature? Chancing across a beautiful girl in distress on those rooftops who claims that someone has cut out her heart and not in the metaphorical sense. What she, this girl named Heaven, suggests is surely impossible, and David is convinced that she must be crazy, while also recognizing that she is obviously traumatized, vulnerable and in great need of his help. Agreeing to help her toThis book was ok. For me there was a lot of description and not enough action.The action was over as quick as it started.And the ending really annoyed me, for me it was a cop out...along the lines of "and it was all a dream" or "an then they died"The last 2 chapters sort of made the rest of the book a complete waste of time as it told you everything you needed to know and resolved the story. It left me asking a lot of questions like "what was the point of...?" "why didnt he do this instead of
loved it! Absoulutely amazing!
Sometimes one comes across books by happenstance.I spotted Christoph Marzi's Memory in Hachette Australia's teen newsletter. Liked the cover, liked the summary, and decided to look up the author. My consortium of libraries only had Heaven, a stand-alone.It's that very odd kind of novel, with a concept I wasn't sure I'd like, but it completely won me over. Christoph Marzi is the missing link between J. K. Rowling and Holly Black, and Heaven is truly an urban fairy tale. From the rooftops of
Imagine you're for some reason climbing on a roof in the middle of the night when you stumble over a panicked teenage girl. She tells you someone attacked her and cut out her heart, though she's still alive (obviously). This is what happens to David, and guess what he does? He accepts it, because he has a feeling *facepalm*. I don't know if I should feel sorry for David or not, because he's obviously too dumb for his own good. Had a stranger tried to convince me their heart was missing, in the
Oh gosh, where to start?David Pettyfer works at The Owl And Pussycat bookshop in central London. He prefers to walk on the rooftops to get to his destinations, as he likes being alone and away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy streets of London.One night, while on his way to deliver a very rare and valuable book to a customer, he stumbles upon a girl up on the rooftops. She looks as though she is in severe pain, and David goes over to check on her.The girl in question says that her name
I wish this photo of the cover did it a bit more justice because it's odd and strangely beautiful, which perfectly sums up the story it enfolds.Obviously the premise is really unusual, paranormal without any kind of power struggle or super powers per se. Fantasy, but not really. Romance, but not in the stereotypical YA way. Instead this story reads a bit like a modern fairy tale, poetic, both scary and full of unpleasantness but ultimately a beautiful tale that feels like someone is reading it
