“As an artist I tend to be a very visual person, so I judge a book based on how it plays out in my head. If it plays out like a film, then we are onto a winner and this world that Ben has so carefully weaved together is bursting with vibrancy, colour and sass that soared through my imagination and tickled my creativity.” Jo Painter, Artist.
