Özet

Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with his fellow losers at school, desperately hoping each day that the school bullies - led by Drake - will pass by him in search of other prey. But one day they force him into the woods, and the bullying escalates into something more; something unforgivable, something unthinkable. Broken, both physically and emotionally, something dies in Waggoner, and something else is born in its place.

In the hills of the West Country a chalk horse stands vigil over a site of ancient power, and there Waggoner finds in himself a reflection of rage and vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would bring him low.

Story blew me away, totally took me back to my childhood. At times I had to skip back 30 seconds to confirm what i had just heard, as certain scenes would begin in reality and the begin to play out like dreams or acid trips, only to crash back into reality.

I plan on experiencing again at some point

Fight club meets Carrie but laced with acid

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is an interesting clash of school life with the old magic of an Alan Garner book. Grange Hill, it is not. You really have no idea of where it is going until you are almost at the end. A compelling read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Chalk?

The initial incident that sets of the chain of events in this story is horrific and had me cringing while listening to it.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scenes with Angie explaining how the number ones question/answer "magic" worked and the Halloween disco ate the end of the book.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

High School the Musical - The British Version (Done right)

Any additional comments?

Having read this book, I think that Paul Cornell needs to be in some form of therapy. I certainly need it now.

Not the book I expected.

Would you consider the audio edition of Chalk to be better than the print version?

This is still a great tale, read beautifully

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

There is a little too much focus on a genital injury!

What about Jonathan Broadbent’s performance did you like?

Excellent reading

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Paul Cornell avoids predictable story lines and I loved the esoteric story arc throughout. It made sense on a subconscious level but was constantly mystifying otherwise.

Any additional comments?

Good, but not his best. The Wytches of Lychford was fantastic, I would recommend that above this novel.

Good, but not his best.

I made the mistake of beginning this audiobook last thing at night, the evening before a day I'd made a lot of plans for.

So gripping that I listened throughout the night, cancelled everything I'd planned that day.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Utterly brilliant
