Wednesday 29th August – Review of Ultraviolet by ND

Ultraviolet is a truly amazing story about a girl who can taste colours and see sounds.  One moment Alison Jeffries is fighting with the queen bee of the school, Tori Beaugrand, the next Tori disintegrates.  Alison is convinced she tore her apart with her unusual mind but telling the police her theory gets her thrown into a mental institution.  Alison struggles to find out what caused her vicious outburst and the journey takes her to Sebastian Faraday.  Alison soon falls head over heels with his peculiar violet eyes and voice “like chocolate on velvet” (the feeling is mutual, obviously).  Faraday takes Alison on an adventure while trying to convince her that Tori’s disintegration was not her fault and find out what really happened to the popular schoolgirl. An inspiring story of willpower and strength, with the occasional cringe (off the scale cheesiness).
