Melvin Burgess, Wednesday 7th February @ Leeds College of Music

Multi-award winning author Melvin Burgess launched the exciting new series of reading events for young people (Breeze Reads). Burgess is probably best known for his controversial teen-classic Junk but tonight he was reading from his widely acclaimed book, Bloodsong. Set in an apocalyptic Britain, the central charachter, Sigurd, is the chosen one; the golden warrior boy blessed with the courage of a hero and the strength of a lion. Not only did Burgess read from his work exceptionally well, but also answered lots of questons from the audience. I would recommend anyone to got and see Melvin Burgess speak if they have the chance.
