I have to say that this book left me feeling really quite horrifically sick. It was recommended to me by Rach who said it was good. In many ways she was right- it was kind of compelling- you wanted to know how the story ended.. but I found myself feeling increasingly voyeuristic lapping up page after page about a dead teenager. I read that Sebold has written another book about her rape at uni.. I just felt like we were being given a little too much insight into her traumam in this book.. made me want to go take a bath after reading..

Awww, what a beautiful book. This is the follow up to Little Women (and basically covers the story as told in the film.. you know the Winona Ryder one). its just so innocent and unassuming. Lovely lovely lovely. Am trying to think which character I most empathise with.. I thought it may have to be Jo- but had an Amy waver for a while before plumping back with Jo.. the way here story ends is just good... Read it.. good for the brain!

I remember reading this a wee one.. and then in Coventry on Saturday, it was there.. just sitting on Rach's table. "we've been studying it this week in English", she said.. so I nicked it and read it while they were at church the next morning! Great story. I like Mister Fox's good family loyalty and general goodishness. And as ever Dahl paints the most outrageous character sketches. Truly wonderful.. I loved them! And it only took me half an hour to read! Woo hoo!
