Mind's Eye

Rate this book
A riveting sci-fi adventure with a lesson in the futility of prejudice  Braindeads like Conor Smith are scary—everyone says so. Kids who become telepathic as they hit puberty can't be normal, that's why they need special implants in their brains. Lara thinks the same until the day she discovers she's a telepath too—and once the authorities know, it's only a matter of time before Lara will get an implant.

Gillian Philip is the author of more than 20 books for adults, young adults and children, including the Rebel Angels series (Firebrand, Bloodstone, Wolfsbane and Icefall). Her debut novel, the dystopian mystery Bad Faith, was published in 2008.

She is one of the Erin Hunters, working on the Survivors series, and has written as Gabriella Poole (Darke Academy). Her short books for Key Stage 3 are published by Ransom and by ReadZone Books, and include Life Of The Party, Mind's Eye, Sea Fever and Cyber Fever.

She lives in the north-east highlands of Scotland, with one husband, two children, three dogs (Cluny, Milo and Otto), two psychotic cats (the Ghost and the Darkness), a slayer hamster (Buffy), a fluctuating population of chickens (including Mapp, Lucia, Mrs Norris and Honey Boo Boo), and a lot of nervous fish.

From her website:

"Writing for a living is (a) what I always wanted to do; (b) occasionally frustrating; (c) a lot of fun – I take dictation from the characters in my head, who spend their lives telling me what’s going to happen next.

"But I like it that I never know just how it’s all going to end – not till the fat lady sings, the villain meets a suitably sticky end, and the boy gets the girl (or indeed the boy)."

Vad andra inte ser är skriven av Gillian Philip och utgiven av Hegas. Ett förlag som specialiserat sig på lättlästa böcker. Inför dagens bokprat på särskolan (klass 7-9) snabbläste jag den här boken och blev glatt överraskad.

Hjärndöda, det är så de kallas. De som fått förmågan att läsa tankar och sedan tvångsopererats för att inte utgöra en fara för alla andra. De blir nämligen långsamma i huvudet och har ständig värk, men allt sker ju för att vanliga människor ska kunna kunna sig trygga. Lauras pappa är dock helt emot behandlingen, medan coola bästisen Sara gärna hånar de hjärndöda.

Laura börjar dock känna sig konstig. Det surrar och ringer i öronen det känns som om alla försöker pratat med henne samtidigt. När det står klart att hon tillhör "de andra" finns ingen hjälp att få hos tidigare vänner. Finns det hjälp någonstans?

Jag tyckte mycket om den här boken. Jag trodde det skulle vara en kärlekshistoria men det var betydligt bättre (och mer rafflande) än så. Hegas slogan "Lätta att läsa - svåra att motstå" passar fint in på Vad andra inte ser.

Although a very sort book it was really good. It's a romance and a thriller at the same time which I think makes a good exciting and romantic at the same time. Really enjoyed it that is why I gave it 5 stars
