Review:
"Desire Lines has both depth and meaning and explores the more serious side of life in an accessible, interesting way" (Teen Titles)
"A powerful and compelling book." (Children's book News Ireland)
"It is moving and memorable. . . Most of all, it is the analysis of Walker's own self-doubt, anxiety and pain that makes this such a raw if depressing novel" (David Self TES)
"A darker, older read, which encompasses good, evil, resistance to temptation, homophobia and the collapse of civilisation . . . written in a prose as assured as Scott Fitzgerald's" (Michael Thorn Scotsman)
"Reminiscent of Cormier" (Inis)
