A new reader from Kingston
|
This book was recommended by a friend who knew I have limited time to read. He suggested this Judy Astley book. Another friend who had a copy also felt it was worth passing on to me.
This well written entertaining easy reading book did not disappoint and has encouraged me to read more of this author. Many situations one can easily relate to. Judy, keep at it and Thanks.

I read this because my grandma recommended it, it's not my normal kind of read. However it was a very nice thing to sit down to on a cold winter's day. Really good. I can't tell you too much of the plot or I'll spoil it, but it's written in a very amusing way with lots of good observations on modern life. The bit about what exactly "sick" means when a teenager says it, is a conversation my friend Janet was having only about a week ago. I also thought it had just enough danger and peril to make me really worried (that gruesome cupboard on the landing, I'll say no more....) and a nicely unexpected ending... I shed a real tear too! My only suggestion: I would have liked more of Mimi the brilliant teenager - bring her back in her own side-project please!

Another truly enjoyable read from Judy Astley - read cover to cover on train journey , a book best read in one sitting. A daring subject, often painful, gripping from beginning to end.
