“A gruesome horror fantasy in which 16-year-old Jack travels between present-day London and a war-ravaged, dystopian Marbury via the use of mysterious purple glasses. The characters are well developed and speak in authentic teen voices, including abundant use of profanity. I might have tolerated the book at half its length, but by the time I reached page 358, the story's extreme violence, numerous gay insults, and repetitive yo-yoing between London and Marbury made me want to turn a blind eye on The Marbury Lens.”
