Review "Touch is a story within a story within a story and its one of the cleverest, most compelling books Ive read in a long time. The intoxicating voice, ingenious premise and intricate plot will have readers clamouring for a copy. Touch has bestseller written all over it and Claire North is one hell of a writer."--C. L. Taylor, author of The Accident on Touch"Touch is fast, smart, cinematic and with a cracking central idea. This is absolutely destined to be one of the biggest thrillers of 2015... A very, very impressive second outing."--Rick OShea, radio presenter, on Touch"A brilliantly balanced knifes edge of a book - fast-paced and thrilling, its somehow also languorous, thoughtful, intelligently intimate. Kepler is a thoroughly absorbing and sympathetic anti-hero, trying to minimize harm while striving for survival."--NPR Books on Touch"A work of sparkling originality that works both as mesmerising thriller and exploration of what it means, at the most profound level, to be human."--Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls on Touch"Another thrilling leap into the unknown."--Toronto Sunday Star on Touch"Fast-paced, imaginative...masterful."--Washington Post on Touch"I was totally and utterly gripped, its just extraordinary. Absolutely mesmerizing."--Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go on Touch"Little short of a masterpiece."--Independent (UK) on Touch"Norths talent shines out." --Sunday Times on Touch "Seriously I cannot get over how amazingly good Claire North is. I could have read this book forever. The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August was so smart, Touch is beyond genius. This will be one of THE books of 2015. Mark my words."--Bite the Book (Australia) on Touch"The high stakes and breakneck pace of the plot will draw readers in, and the meditations on what it means to be human and to be loved will linger long after the last shot is fired."--Kirkus on Touch"This novel is utterly engaging, addictive, and thought-provoking. The characters are superbly drawn, their interactions realistic and engaging."--Civilian Reader on Touch Review Quote "I dont say this lightly but The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August is one of the top ten books Ive ever read."-- James Dashner, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Maze Runner on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August Details ISBN0316335916 Author Claire North Short Title TOUCH Language English ISBN-10 0316335916 ISBN-13 9780316335911 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 823.92 Pages 448 Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-08-04 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2015-08-04 NZ Release Date 2015-08-04 US Release Date 2015-08-04 UK Release Date 2015-08-04 Publisher Little, Brown & Company Imprint Little, Brown & Company Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
