Recenzii
a compelling novel
A story of fear, hope, and identity in Bristol
A compelling gut punch of a novel about friendship and belonging
A gritty, thought-provoking read that could be just the thing to get a reluctant adolescent to pick up a book during the school holidays
This is a brilliant, very contemporary story of fear, hope, racism, strength, boxing and learning to be yourself. Nikesh Shukla writes with tough fist and a tender heart. The kind of book that will keep any young adult reading.
Nikesh Shukla's voice is unique, honest and much needed.
Nikesh Shukla writes nuanced books with realistic characters, and always provides heartstopping moments.
The Boxer is a penetrating look at the dangers of the rise in racism in post-Brexit Britain, where right-wing extremists feel validated in their fear and dislike of anyone they see as different to themselves...Shukla has an enviable ability to get under the skins of his characters, showing life through Sunny's eyes in a way that doesn't pull any punches...The Boxer is a book that may well challenge your perceptions about the sport, if - like me - it's something you've never favoured. But seeing the world, and boxing, through Sunny's eyes did make me rethink the appeal of the sport, particularly for youngsters such as Sunny. And if it's able to help teenagers and young men like him to be more comfortable and confident in their own skins, and help them to cope better with the unhealthy tide of racist abuse that seems to be sweeping through this country, then I'm happy to have my own prejudice against the sport challenged.
Shukla examines the other face of radicalisation, showing how easy it is for young white men to be sucked in by far-right extremists and this makes a refreshing change from books that focus on radicalisation within Islam. The Boxer builds on Shukla's success with his excellent debut Run, Riot.
