On The Third Day

Reviews / Votes

Thomas explores some promising premises... a brooding atmosphere of fear permeates his novel in a constant drizzle of menace * Yorkshire Post * Thomas effectively details the breakdown of established codes of behaviour and the depths of depravity to which humanity can sink... a gripping story * Guardian * This bleak scary and frequently moving novel has a lot of life in it * SFX Magazine * A talent worth watching * Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller * Thomas shakes concepts of 'normality' to the core. It is a challenge indeed for an author to capture authentic teenage dialogue... compelling subject matter * Independent on Sunday * A riveting and often moving read... The narrator's voice compels the narrative - he's a hugely likeable charachter... this is the best of its type that I've read in a long while. I'll be very interested to see what Thomas writes next -- John Boyne
