As I progressed through the story, I began to take pity on some people, I felt hatred for others and in my mind, and I cheered when the protagonists achieved something positive, and jeered when the antagonists inflicted damage on the protagonists.

The narrator in the book Incendiary by Chris Cleave is a very complicated character. She is a working class, East End women with post-traumatic stress disorder grieving the death of her husband and four year old son, who were both killed by suicide bombers at a soccer stadium. I think the way she handles certain situations in the book are a little far-fetched. The relationships she has with every other character in the book are all unhealthy, especially for a woman with mental issues. The book follows her, after May Day, in the year after her “chaps” death and is a detailed description of her life and how she continues on in her own private hell.
