Customer Reviews

little girl lost
I could not put this book down it is really good and you have to keep going to find out what happens next it is not confusing at all and keeps you intrested. I have read nearly all of katie flynn's books and this is one of the many good ones.

Presently
I have read a few of Katie Flynn's books; not read one for a while and as I fancied a changed I thought I would give this a go. I really did not like Sylvie, the main character; she is a selfish strumpet!!!! It has taken me a while to read this book, its not unusual for me to finish a book in one day but I really struggled to finish this one. It was all a bit too predicatble. I found that this author uses the word "presently" an awful lot and in a very strange way. Unfortunatley I would not recommend this book and perhaps the lack of reviews is a reflection of this.....
