I have to say, I wasn't particularly looking forward to reading this book, however I really enjoyed finding more about each character. I loved how some of the dark secrets were found out towards the end...

Be sure to read this book!

I found the book great and character growth was incredibly realistic but it could have not as much of a grip on people like other books. all in all its a new experience for me

I found the storyline of the book and the characters great, I also found them very realistic. But I found the book so slow, this wasn't because I found it hard to read, it was because I found that it just didn't bring me in or interest me as much as I hoped it would.

i liked this book. it took a while to get into it but i really enjoyed it at the end. i found myself annoyed by how little lena thought about the effect her actions had on other people.

I found Troublemakers difficult to persevere with due to its astonishingly slow beginning. Certainly, a book that dives straight into the storyline and values quantity over quality would, in most cases, be less entertaining than one with a build of suspense and a significant air of mystery, however this book only got started for me around 1/3 of the way through and often it ground to a halt again just after it had picked up some pace. I found myself battling irritation at the constant, repetitive arguments between Danny, Nick and Alena and saw no purpose in most of the supporting characters- some of which we never even meet and are more or less irrelevant to the story. There were certain characters that I did identify with, such as Nick, who was my favourite character by far, due to his fatherly and supportive manner along with his character development where most other characters had little to offer. In my experience, there were characters and events that didn't seem to serve a purpose, to the story or otherwise, such as the east-end bomber with whom this ordeal supposedly started, who ends up having little to no character development or background and who, for me, seemed more like a convenient prop than an engaging and relevant character. I usually enjoy political fiction, and this book did have it's interesting moments, but overall this book was, for me, an slow and uneventful read.

Despite this book including excellent description, I found it difficult to get intrigued into this book initially.

I really like this book!! I would definitely recommend it. If I had to read it again I would not hesitate!

I thought this book was ok. It had mystery surrounding Alena's mother's past and the East End bomber but was lacking story aside from that. I found it slow paced at times but thought Danny and Nick were interesting characters.

I think the main characters, Alena and Danny were very interesting and developed, though I found it hard to relate to them for the majority of the time. The story is secretive at the start but opens out through the book however I found it dull at times.
