Recenzii
Praise
forDiamond
Boy:
*"[A] riveting tale...Williams draws from real events to bring this harrowing story to life, infusing Patson's narrative with terrifying accuracy. Along the way, the story crosses over with Williams's 2011 novel,Now Is the Time for Running, though readers need not be familiar with that book to be gripped and horrified by the troubles facing Patson and his nation."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[A] compelling epic...operatic in scope and intensity...A haunting, harrowing tale guaranteed to give "bling" a whole new meaning."—Kirkus Reviews
"Williams' fast-paced, tension-packed story is filled with cliff-hangers, [and] perils...a satisfying and eminently readable novel."—Booklist
"Williams's portrayal of middle-class, cell phone-carrying African youth will give readers a different perspective on the modern continent, even as some of its people still cling to the belief inshavi, or luck granted by the ancestors. Patson'sshaviis strong, but the diamonds' ability to either transform or destroy a life is something he continues to wrestle with through the very last page."—Horn Book
"This is a harrowing read, no doubt, ... but Williams ably weaves in moments of kindness and small successes that keep things from feeling completely hopeless. Extensive end material offers historical context for the diamond industry in Africa, land mines, and the connections to the author's earlier work."—The Bulletin

"Deft,
unflinching
prose.
Teens

by
Patson's
harsh

essentially
hopeful
journey,
where
greed,
despair,
luck,
and
wonder
intertwine

Marange."
