Advantages: Great book

Disadvantages: sad parts

When I read Malorie Blackmans book Noughts and Crosses it seemed like a popular book since most people in my year had read it, this was in 2005 or 2006. I've read it quite a few times and never fails to bore me.
In this book basically it's all switched around and blacks have power over whites. A cross is someone who is back, and a nought is someone who is white. This explains the title.

Sephy is 13 and a cross and Callum is 15 and a nought. They're best of friends and Callum has just gotten into her school, only a few noughts got in and of course his life ends up hell even more.
But what's worse they have feelings for each other which makes things worse for both.

Now at this part, I am going to try my best not to spoil one thing about this basically, Callum ends up with some family problems you could say, and at one point Callum leaves and they don't speak for years. Then something huge happens and then it gets even more complicated.

The way the book is written is very good, each chapter is Sephy or Callums life, it doesn't leave you puzzled either.

There are three other books that follow, Knife Edge, Checkmate and Double Crosses.

Summary: Amazing book worth the money
