About this listen

After discovering that Happyhead was a sinister eugenics experiment, Seb along with a select group of participants, finds himself washed up (literally) on an isolated island called Elmhallow. Here the teens are split into two groups – the chosen Ten and the Bottom Percentile.

With the boys divided, Seb's burgeoning relationship with Finn is put to the test and when the competition takes a deadly turn, their plan to take down HappyHead rapidly unravels ...

I have to commend the narrator, I’ve never heard someone give each character such strong and distinctive voices and accents. Made this brilliant series of books interesting and easy to listen to.

Loved the first book and loved this second one. The author really kept me on the edge of my seat throughout both books, rooting for Seb and Fin! I feel like I’ve been on a wild journey, and I know these characters will stay with me. Loved the Authors writing style and message.

Was waiting for this 2nd book and it did not disappoint! Great read!

Upon discovering that this book was also available as an audiobook, my excitement knew no bounds. My joy escalated even further when I learned that it was narrated by Huw Parmenter, the same individual who lent his voice to the first book in the series. The inclusion of a trigger warning at the beginning of the audiobook added to my satisfaction. Huw's narration was characterized by its clarity, and I particularly admired how he imbued each character with a distinct voice, making it effortless to discern who was speaking.

This was a gripping, emotional follow-up to Happyhead. In skewering cults and pseudo-psychology, Josh Silver delivers a real humdinger of a book.

Seb's journey continues. The psychological and emotional battering given to the younger characters should be enough to make you spit. Or give you a gut punch. The only humour comes from Seb's sardonic asides. They made me smile even as I fumed and inwardly raged.

I let this book sit in my tbr pile for far too long. Once I got going though, I had to see it through to the end. Huw Parmenter's performance as narrator is stellar, adding much to the story. Highly recommended.

Superb
