Kill [redacted] took my breath away with its intensity and authenticity. It is hard to believe that it is a debut novel; the prose is confident and accomplished and the plot is cleverly drawn, using several storylines that subtly shift between time frames and carefully come together to create a powerful and poignant ending. The main character, Michael, is complex and compelling and his emotionally charged intellectual musings and personal interactions are dark and disturbing. This book is unlike anything I have read before and it has certainly left a lasting impression on me. I am very much looking forward to the author's next book, although I feel Kill [redacted] is going to be a hard act to follow. I won this book in a Readers First giveaway.

I didn’t expect myself to enjoy this book but much to my surprise this book is extraordinarily enjoyable book. With truth awaiting on each page this book really makes you think. I love the plot and the protagonists view of things. The book is relatable and therefore helps you to immerse yourself in the plot. I really enjoyed this book and I read it quickly, because of how much I enjoyed this book I was super sad when i had finished this book. The author goes into a lot of detail about the characters, scenery etc. Overall, this book is a great read and really made me think, and I enjoyed to imagine the protagonist intentions and thoughts throughout the book. I really do recommend this charming book.

Waltzing through the darkling journal of a brilliant mind put to serious misuse, Kill [redacted] is a powerful and provocative exploration of the contours of grief and the limits of moral justice, and a blazing condemnation of all those who hold, and abuse, power. The book kill has such an ambiguous title and as readers we truly feel for the protagonist, it is truly unfair some of the things happening in our world. As readers we can have a sense of understanding and pity for the protagonist, and we can understand his strong emotions and feelings of grief, regret and the wanting to get revenge. This seems like a promising book and I cannot wait to open and read it. Although the cover is simple, and does not feature many colours, it is enough to get the message across and through its use of colour psychology, we are left wondering what is going to happen next.

Kill (redacted) is an absolutely brilliant book. I started reading it the moment it arrived and did not put it down until I finished it. From the first page to the last I was gripped. The characters were believable and relatable, and the author made no attempt to make the reader like them, especially the main character and that added to the novels realness. Kill (redacted) felt like the series ‘Waterloo road’ meets the film ‘Taxi driver’ I cannot rate this book highly enough, I loved every part of it, the cover looks good, and the book feels good to hold, the writing was brilliant and the way the story has been woven together in such a way that the reader is pulled into the story and wants to read on. I also liked the fact there was no page numbers, it felt like the reader was reading the main characters thoughts, and entering his mind. I will definitely be recommending this book to friends and other readers.

This is a really compelling book, but it is a little strangely laid out, and this takes a bit of getting used to at first. To start with there are no page numbers, or chapters, and the book is written in a series of jerky either diary style entries or parts flitting back to the past of Michael who is the books narrator and principle character. His wife was killed in a terrorist attack on the tube (it does not say it was in the 7/7 bombings, but it certainly gives that impression). Michael is seeing a therapist to work through his feelings of anger towards the person he seems responsible, a high profile politician, who he wishes to kill, and is never named, but is crossed through whenever his name should be written. I found the book uncomfortable in places, and also it was a bit disjointed and some things were not fully explained, but I did find it a really compelling read, and hard to put down.
