Half Bad by Sally Green


TITLE: Half Bad

AUTHOR: Sally Green

PUBLISHER: Penguin

LANGUAGE: English

DESCRIPTION: 
Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled like a dog, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world's most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan's only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it's too late. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
HALF BAD is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

MY REVIEW:
Half Bad is not half bad. Like other magical witch story, there's always half blood (half normal, half witch) but in this story, it's not only about half normal half witch. It's about half white and half black. White witch and Black witch have been on "war" for decades. Normally white is the good guy and black is the bad guy. In Half Bad, eventhough the White seems to be like the "authority", the one that governs the witches affair, the White also have their black. The story went into a turbulence when a white witch fell in love with a black witch. Together, they had a son which half white, half black. Some say he have the physical of a black but the heart of a white.
