I recommend this to readers aged 12+.
The story is narrated by both Sephy and Callum alternating with each chapter and allows us to see their very different worlds through their eyes. Also, where was this supposed romance?? I thought the writing and the plots were poorly written and superifical. Noughts + Crosses review – reverse-race love story is vital viewing. This may have been the first YA "dystopia" I ever read. A very well written novel, I would definitely recommend it. Set in a dystopian 21st century near future British society – the ‘Noughts & Crosses’ award winning series of novels (initially a trilogy, subsequently extended to a quadrilogy) opens following a period of alternative history, a post slavery period where the white population (Noughts) have been enslaved by the ruling black elite. If you only read YA book in your life I think Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman could be a strong contender. Watching the TV series didn’t feel like the books I loved as a 16 year old.
There are many moments of happiness between Callum and Sephy, but there are also so many moments that their society makes them go through things that no child should have to fa. constantly switches between Sephy and Callum’s point of view and I really like When I read a good book I can envision it in my head, create my own little movie if you like, but this is the only book I've ever read where that didn't happen. This book I just started bawling as I added the quotes, so clearly I'm unreliable*. The result is a book with a clever premise, an impo.
Wow, this book is outstanding. This is an AMAZING book..loved it so much it is seriously impossible!!!!! I will definitely try to read the The story is dramatic and a number of dangerous events occur against a rising tide of Nought militarism. This story is gripping, emotional, shocking, sad, and tragic. Cullum is a nought (white), while Sephy is a cross (black). That said, I'm not sure what message this book was trying to convey, is the message that predjudice will always prevail, or that we should walk in our neighbours shoes before passing judgement.
That Noughts + Crosses is a book for teens being adapted for an adult audience may be part of the problem – nuance was never going to be on the cards.
Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It features a relationship that has deeper implications than one may figure it on the surface. I am not sure how I forced my self to keep reading this pathetic book.
Noughts and Crosses is an ambitious book that reveals the total pointlessness of racism by depicting a world where people with black skin are privileged, while people with white skin are oppressed.

They are forbidden to see each other – but they do. That is why I chose to read Noughts Cullum's older brother and father are all against the crosses and are out to show them what they are made of, and want to get revenge for the way they have been treated. They grew up together and despite the animosity between their families now, they continue to see each other in secret. I didn't think I would like this book, as the front cover is quite plain and boring looking. and making a baby.
