The Cloud

M. L. Thomas

A book for all those who are young, or trying to get young for the first time.


Teenagers are dying - but not accidently. Matt Cleaver is watching idly as his friends disappear - swallowed up by the Cloud as it hangs over Bridgend County in Summer 2008. More like Peter Pan and less like full-grown man, Matt Cleaver returns home to Bridgend to find that he is no longer part of his hometown - where some many kids skipped youth and went straight to being old heads. The Cloud is a semi-fictional story of a young man's search to get back to a lost youth and to drag his friends back. This story is for everyone who is interested in the almost real story of the Bridgend Suicides. Matt holds his youth in one hand, the lives of his friends in the other - will he be able to stop both from slipping through his clutches? Or will The Cloud eat up everything he loves and hates?

Sybil, Glad you enjoyed it. Congratulations on the book success you're having. Chapter 1 tense issues - actually thought I had put everything into the past tense. Perhaps I'm confusing my languages :s It's one of the downsides to language learning - they get mixed up and mess up your sentence... view book

Laura, What a brilliant critique. I feel pretty good about that. You raised some good points and gave some good ideas for the resolution of issues with my writing. You're right. Matt is judgmental. I don't think I meant for this to happen - he was meant to be different but still be accessible... view book

I'm impressed. You've got a good knowledge of pop culture (probably better than mine and that's not something I get to say all that often!!!) I have a picture of a young Courtney Love in my head. Your style of writing is good and in fact I enjoyed the first chapter that I wanted to read the ... view book

Where in Wales are you from? I imagine ASBO from Belonging (RIP) reading this. I forget the actors name.. he was in High Hopes too. Just to note, 'Sais' should be written as 'Saes' like 'Saeson.' Hey from Bridgend, Marc view book
