Set during the Goldrush in the early 20th century Revolver is definitely a book that makes you think. Sig is fourteen years old and trapped in a cabin with a deranged maniac who has a gun and a score to settle with Sig's dead father! This is a book that is definitely geared more towards boys based on some of the underlying themes of what makes you a man and survival. It also uses the flashback method to help explain why the man has shown up on Sig's doorstep ten years after the fact. Also, between sections it includes quotes from old magazine articles and ads. I thought this was a well written book and I would definitely read another book by Marcus Sedgwick.
