Has anyone read this book? Its really good. Its about where racism is reverseds. The white people are calles "noughts" and the black people are called "crosses". Its a very good trilogy so if you ever get the chance I reccomend you read it. Anyone else read it? Hattie.x |

Of course they are and that's part of the point of the book to make some white people, who have never thought about what it would be like to be descriminated against, understand what it would be like if it was them. I'm sure I've already posted about these books in here but they are excellent. The characters and their reactions seem very true to life and there are very interesting ideas to think about in it. The end of the first one really makes me cry though |

I've read it, but I didn't get that it was all reversed until about 100 pages in. I was just staring at the book when I realised like 'thats really clever!'. I think that it was interesting that they reversed it because it really forces you to think about it the other way around, like 'what if I was in that situation?'. |
