Ratings and reviews

Good story but I really don't feel that it was Callum's perspective of noughts and crosses as the storyline was different. The book is actually only 33 pages long because the rest are just credits and an excerpt from the novel noughts and crosses.

Don't know where to find the play script version :(

i think the real one is way better beacuse this is not even detailed....very not good!!!!
