A love affair with heroin: Caroline Sams reviews Junk by Melvin Burgess
3 comments | Published by teentoday.co.uk editor
teentoday.co.uk’s Caroline Sams has a read of the latest Melvin Burgess book - Junk - here’s her thoughts…
“Junk”. Bit of an ambiguous title. At first glance, I thought I would be reading a tale about household garbage or things people had thrown out to waste. Yes, in spite of the bright picture of the red syringe on the front cover, I embarked upon the first few pages wondering why my mum had bought me a book about refuse. Of course, she must have neglected the blurb on the back describing the novel as a ‘love affair’ with heroin.
