I'm afraid I reversed your scores for my list, which means rather than a perfect match for each other, you're just terribly wide-read! XD

18/100, although in some cases I have read other books by the same authors and some of the sff I've never heard of looks fascinating!! *does my usual grumble about UK/US SFF divides*

And I don't remember Devil on My Back so well (I had to go look it up, and I'm pretty sure I must have read it, it does sound very familiar), but Monica Hughes was an omission from my list - I knew there was someone else in YA SF that I'd read who ought to be there as well as Nicholas Fisk. Probably it would have been Invitation to the Game for me had I recalled and been willing to give some other things the push, heh, but it's hard to decide at this remove.

I did actually think about putting Mythago Wood on my list, too - I read and re-read it in the early 1990s, at the same time as I picked up the Louise Cooper books. It was one of those books where I'm not entirely sure how much I liked it, but where that was entirely irrelevant to the sheer fascination with its compelling weirdness.

Getting films up to 100 was tough; whittling down the books to 100 much harder!
