On The Third Day

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

A talent worth watching

Sarah Broadhurst, Bookseller

This bleak scary and frequently moving novel has a lot of life in it

SFX Magazine

Thomas effectively details the breakdown of established codes of behaviour and the depths of depravity to which humanity can sink... a gripping story

Guardian

Thomas explores some promising premises... a brooding atmosphere of fear permeates his novel in a constant drizzle of menace

Yorkshire Post

Thomas shakes concepts of 'normality' to the core. It is a challenge indeed for an author to capture authentic teenage dialogue... compelling subject matter
