Pandaemonium reviewed for The Guardian
Patrick Ness passes his eye over Christopher Brookmyre’s latest and decides that underneath its apparent B-movie exterior “lies a beating heart and a cheeky brain”.
Patrick also suggested that, whilst there’s plenty for an adult audience to love in Pandaemonium, he thought the mix of action, insight and wholly three-dimensional characters in the book would make it ideal for a slightly younger audience as well:
