- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5«Unexploded» focuses on an episode if the Second World War rarely touched upon in other fiction namely the fear of an invasion of Britain in early 1940. Original, well-written but somewhat mundane, and ultimately little impressive.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I knew nothing about the author before finding this book, but was hugely impressed by its literacy and fresh insights into what could have been quite cliched subject matter. A readable and gripping story of life in Brighton during the darkest days of World War 2, it has a nuanced and believable view of the moral issues of the time, and resists the heroic view.
