Rezension zu „Pig-Heart Boy “
"A powerful story about friendship, loyalty and family around this topical and controversial issue" Guardian "Engrossing story" Daily Telegraph "A sensitive and informative story that provides a vivid insight into transgenics and xenotransplantations and still manages to squeeze in the inevitable guinea-pig and piggy in the middle jokes" Independent "Great for older readers able to tackle issues" First "A bizarre yet strangely realistic book ... The plot is well developed with many unexpected twists" The Times
