Tim Bowler certainly knows how to write a thriller that
fills you with a sense of creeping fear! With Game Changer, he perfectly crafts
the character of Mikey, an agoraphobic adolescent who thinks that some unnamed people
are out to get him. Typical paranoia? Not quite, as the people in question really
do want him. The book explores the feelings of the mentally ill teenager to
great effect; if you immerse yourself in this novel you’ll begin to get a sense
of how Mikey is feeling, how he trusts the dark and hates the light. His little
sister Meggie is his saviour – always kind, always caring (too caring? I
sometimes wondered if their relationship was too close to be realistic). When
the unknown figures that have been following him make contact and put Meggie in
danger, the game changes and Mikey is forced to push through his fears to face
his assailants. Another fast-paced, psychological page-turner from Mr Bowler,
who is never afraid to delve into the violent side of teenage life.
