    About this ebook

    Sara is not your typical teenage girl. She wants more than just an ordinary life. She wants fame and beauty. She wants to be extraordinary. After she is injured in a mysterious accident, Sara meets Jonathon Heat, rock star. Heat is the centre of bizarre rumours and intense public adoration.
    And as Sara becomes ever more drawn into his powerful orbit, it soon becomes clear that Jonathon Heat wants something impossibly precious from her. But what does Sara really want?

    Sara's Face is a chilling exploration of the dark extremes of fame, plastic surgery and obsession.

      I found this really strange, scary and couldn't get myself to finish it. Very weird. I usually really like Melvin Burgess. Also I couldn't get my head round the writing style, it's not like his usual stuff.
    • 4/5
      This is one weird book...written in part like a fan magazine. The point of view keeps jumping around and it was impossible to get a real view of Sara...which was probably the point. Strange...too strange for me to really like it and very creepy.
    • 4/5
      Read date: 2007 or '08.

      I remember thinking this was the most fucked up book I'd ever read in my life. Melvin Burgess has a way with words, that's for sure. He can turn a simple story into mystery and murder and he will hook you in from the very first page.
