Gail Parent

Al principio no me gustaba pero finalmente y los capítulos finales me han convencido. No es que sea una obra de arte pero bastante digna. Divertida sobre todo.

I read this a couple of years ago when an American friend gave me a copy. I meant lent. Even though he had bunches of them because he likes it so much. It just isn't good enough, starts off okay but after not so long I was wishing she'd get on with it.

I've already forgotten why it irritated me so much. She whines is that it? And goes on and on and on about the same things....

This book is not at all what I thought it would be. It's a straightforward book, and I didn't find any mystery or tension in it as I thought there would be.

On the other hand, there is something in this book that makes you want to read it until it ends. I fell in love with the heroine of the novel, with her wit and humor, and although there was nothing in the book that I was looking to read, I finally felt a desire to read some more of it.

I haven't read this book in years, but read it a number of times when I was young and every time I roared with laughter. What I would think of it now, I don't know, as thru the decades I've changed my opinions about things both positively and negatively, so the only way to find out is to re-read it !
