I did not enjoy this book at all. It was a Quick Read and only took me an afternoon to get through it however, that to me was an afternoon I could have spent doing anything else. There did not seem much of a story line, the writing did not flow and the language was very simple. The story sees a girl called Star change from being a loving, helpful, happy girl to a sad, difficult, manipulative girl. However, it was extremely bit-ty and the story did not make much sense. I was not interested or gripped by the book. The blurb suggested an exciting read, I was let down. ( )

Indeed a quick read, but I feel Maeve Binchy could have done a lot better. Star was such a lovely kid, everybody loved her and thought she was a very nice girl who only wanted everyone around her to be well, and then suddenly we discover that she was just a pain and she had to stop worrying so much and live her own life? Hummm, a bit sudden... ( )
