A proposito di questo titolo

 Beautiful and brilliant, Josie and Jack Raeburn are closer than they should be, and run riot in their father's isolated house. But as his behaviour becomes more unpredictable, they are forced to leave, and face a world for which they are utterly unprepared. Jack's love for Josie has always been her safety-net. However, as his world grows wilder and more dangerous, she finds herself struggling: should she escape his control, or help him? It is only when they are united again, in the company of Jack's astoundingly rich girlfriend Lily that she understands what she must do.©2005 Kelly Braffet (P)2006 Bolinda Publishing Narrativa contemporanea Narrativa di genere

Recensioni editoriali

Kelly Braffet begins her novel Fabulous Things (published in the U.S. as Josie and Jack) with a quote from Hansel and Gretel. What follows is a contemporary fable with traces of Gone Girl and the character studies of Bret Easton Ellis.

Performed by Edwina Wren in gently modulating, almost accusatory tones, Fabulous Things follows Josie and Jack, an unsupervised teenage brother and sister who are wild, beautiful, and unprepared for the world they must enter. Raging with hangovers and coursing libidos, Josie and Jack must fight their way through the metaphoric oven that life has heated for them.

Recensioni della critica

"Gripping … top dialogue, strong storytelling." (Kirkus Reviews)
"A creepy, captivating debut … darkly gothic and supremely readable." (Publishers Weekly)
"Mesmerising … recommended." (Library Journal)
"When teenaged siblings Jack and Josie Raeburn escape their warped childhood home, they employ their good looks and intelligence in twisted ways to survive. Reader Edwina Wren's youthful voice is well suited for young Josie's perspective on her distorted relationship with her unstable brother. Somehow Josie's outlook on Jack's exploits makes sense because of their strange upbringing. Wren's straight read of Josie and Jack allows the strong plot and superb dialogue to shine. Some of the character voices seem forced, but this shortcoming does not detract from the story because of Wren's sensitive yet intense portrayal of Josie. Wren delivers the surprising ending with graceful understatement." (AudioFile Magazine)
