Ooh I haven't read very much yet (just the prologue and first chappie--I'm at work XD) but it is SOOO good so far! Very interesting concept and well-written and of course it takes place in England, and I love England...I'm in that warm fuzzy muddled frame of mind I get into when I start reading a very good book...I might come back here later with more coherent thoughts XD

I started to re-read this last night, but didn't get very far. I have read this before so I'm coming at this with the knowledge of what happens already, but I still found that it pulled me in and made me want to read more almost immediately.

Here's my thoughts on the prologue, which is all that I read:

Spoiler:

I think it's interesting to start the story outside of the main characters PoV. Reading on you see that the rest of the book is split between the PoVs of Sephy and Callum, but this is told in third person from someone elses Pov. I also like how we're immediately set up with the main players of the story. Sephy, Callum, Meggie and Ryan McGregor, Mr and Mrs Hadley, and Minerva, Jude and Lynette are mentioned. We're not told very much in the prologue - what are Noughts and Crosses? Why is Meggie wishing things could be different? And then the ending of the prologue is slightly cliffhanger-ish, but something that won't be resolved straight away.

I reread the ending, from where

Spoiler:
	Callum sets her up

and I was pulled in all over again. Though this time I cried a bit earlier because I knew what was going to happen...

It's so intensely sad. I want to reread the beginning...

Spoiler:
	When Callum is still alive and they're both still hopeful that they might, by some fluke of nature, be together somehow...

Slightly OT from the subject of Noughts and Crosses - but there are three sequels to the book:

An Eye for an Eye (very short, written for World Book Day a while back, but still worth reading)
Knife Edge
Checkmate

They're not as good as N&C, but you should definitely read them to see where the story goes.

I will read the sequels, but one of my favorite parts of the book is that Sephy and Callum's story is decidedly OVER. Of course, I want to know about

Spoiler:
	Jude and Callie Rose and Sephy and Mrs. MacGregor.

So I'll read the rest sometime.

Hmm...

Spoiler:
	I wouldn't say that the Sephy and Callum story is over *quite* yet...

What?????

Noooo you didn't just do what I think you did...you cruel, conniving person...now I'm dying to read the rest and you know it.

Spoiler:
	Okay, Callum definitely was hanged. No two ways about it. And in the Birth announcement months later it quite obviously said he was deceased. No. I shall not allow myself to hope.

Sorry :D

Spoiler:
	When I say not over...hmm, how to put this...OK - there's a lot of angsting in the next book over a letter Callum wrote whilst in prison.

Nooo don't read the spoilers...that would be HORRIBLE...it'd ruin everything! I think I should go delete what I wrote in them XD

Just wait. Hold in there a little longer!

Oh yes, please don't click those spoilers! If I'd known the ending before I read it I'd have absolutely hated it. I realise that perhaps me urging you not to click the spoiler warning might make you want to click it more :/

Anyway, I haven't had much time to read since yesterday, but I read the first chapter, which is from Sephy's PoV.

Spoiler:
	I really like this chapter, the setting on the beach is great and the interaction between Sephy and Callum is good. It's a nice introduction to their characters and sets up the dynamic of their relationship.

Okay- I just read the prolouge and now on to the rest!
