"Dios mío, por favor, que me haya escuchado. Por favor.Por favor.Si estás ahí arriba.En algún lugar." ¡Joder, santo cielo! ¿¡Qué!? ¿Qué fue este libro? *Ceros y Cruces* es, sin duda, una obra de 5+ estrellas. Si me lo permitieran, no le daría ni media estrella menos de 100.¿Puede alguien, por favor, responder a esta pregunta? ¿Cómo se supone que se reseña este libro? ¿Cómo siquiera...?Dios, ¿cómo se puede siquiera estar en condiciones de hablar después de leer esto? Mi cama es un desastre de ...

He intentado escribir esta reseña varias veces, con una elección de palabras articulada, una estructura, observaciones inteligentes y hechos que me respalden. Pero expresar mis sentimientos sobre este libro me resultó difícil. Así que me rendí. Y ahora, simplemente lo haré sobre la marcha.Lo primero es lo primero: *Ceros y Cruces* de Malorie Blackman me destrozó por completo de todas las formas en que un lector puede ser destrozado. Estaba paseando intentando disfrutar de mi tiempo en el siempre...

He is white, a 'Nought' and as a result part of the underclass giving very little opportunity, resources or even time to have any kind of decent life; she is Black, a 'Cross' and not only part of the dominant peoples because of her skin colour, but also an elite because if her father's political position and ambition. Despite being very much against the norm they persevere with their friendship into their mid-teens, and maybe love is blossoming? But is there any time for love with both families ...

I read this when I was much younger and only had vague memories of it. I reread the series as an adult and really enjoyed them.

Edited to add: I LOVED the TV show associated with this book. The show answers all of the questions I had about the book.I could not love the show more.Original Review:This was a miss for me.The idea is good just poorly executed world building.If white people (Noughts) were enslaved by blacks (Crosses), why does this happen? Where does this happen? Why are they called Noughts & Crosses, what is the name derivative of? What African Nation did this? Why do most of the characters have English n...

Watching the TV series didn’t feel like the books I loved as a 16 year old.

Planning to go back to a reread very soon as I didn’t have Goodreads then and I’d like to review them all.

This book is just wow,definitely A+.I was hooked from the start by the gripping story and complex relationship between Callum and Sephy,I didn't want to put the book down because it was soooo good.I completely fell in love with the idea of Callum and Sephy together despite all the set backs and difficulties they had to face.The whole story is fantastic as there's never a dull moment and you really feel for the characters because the writing is amazing.The end just killed me and left me heart bro...

Update. This is a tv series now. I hated this book, but from an ideological and personal perspective, rather than an entertainment one which is how I suppose most people read it. I'm wondering whether to watch the tv series and take it lightly or if I will be as upset as I was reading the book?____________Reading this, I read about a quarter of it I suppose, I thought say it was written by someone white from the opposite point of view, that is whites are on top and pushing their agenda, and they...

So I've finally made myself finish this book. I had real high expectations, seeing all the 5 star reviews and 'wow's!'. What a let down. I've never been any good at writing book reviews so excuse me if this doesn't come across how I want it too. One word i would use to describe this book..... Flat. It had no depth and it just felt rushed and really, it was quite boring. The characters were really two-dimensional and it was near impossible for me to care about what happened to them, i couldn't ev...

This may have been the first YA "dystopia" I ever read. The genre has gone through many changes since then but this book continues to stick in my mind as one which cemented my love for it. It's an old tale of forbidden romance but avoids being cheesy. It's a tale of heartache and tragedy but steers clear of melodrama. One thing is certain: Sephy and Callum's story will stay with me for a long time.
