Customer Reviews

Dire
Just In Case is the worst book I have read in a very long time. There is little storyline and the characters have no depth. I persevered reading this in the hope it would get better, but it didn't. Just In Case won the 2007 Carnegie book award, it should not have, it was the worst book in the whole selection. I felt like I wasted 3 hours of my life reading this, dont waste 3 hours of yours!

ok
this book did not live up to my expectations, having won so many awards and recieved rave reviewsi expected it to be excellent, however i waas dissaponted and found it slightly boring at times and the whole 'dodging fate' thing bored me immensly.

Engrossing and unpredictable tale of teenage angst filled with humor and surprise
Meg Rosoff's style of writing is as unique as the tales she tells. I found her first book How I Live Now so gripping I had to find more by this remarkable twenty-first century writer. Already this book is timeless, and i can't wait for more!
