    Advantages Advantages A great light read that will have you hooked

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Its a disappointment when you get to the end

    When it comes to buying a new booking I tend to rely on recommendations from friends or Dooyoo, however whilst on honeymoon in the Maldives I found myself without anything to read so I made my way across to the library on the island to swop a book I had read and no longer wanted. I picked up a novel by Lisa Jewell called Vince and Joy and found that I just could not put it down so when I arrived back home I decided to read the other books she has published, hoping they would all be as good and that was when I started 31 Dream Street. *~*Lisa Jewell*~* Lisa was previously a secretary and when ... more

    Advantages Advantages Funny, Well written

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    31 Dream Street is a chick-lit book by Lisa Jewell. The book was released in the United Kingdom in 2008 and so is fairly recent. The book is four hundred and eighty pages long. You can buy a copy of this book from Amazon for a price of £4.39 which I think is good value for money. Plot: Even though they have lived across the road from each other for many years, suprisingly Toby and Leah have never actually meant. Leah has always thought that Toby's house looks quite interesting especially with all the crazy tenants. Eventually they do meet, and both of them realise that they cannot live without ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very addictive, and some serious issues dealt with sensitively

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ending a bit predictable

    This book revolves around Toby, an unpublished poet, and Leah, who have been living across the road from each other for quite some time before they actually meet each other and become friends. This happens because a tragic event involving one of Toby's tenants, Gus, but a nice friendship begins from there, with each giving each other care and support. Toby has been given a house by his father, a present bestowed out of guilt as his father had now moved onto a new life - without Toby.

    5 Stars Quick review of 31 Dream Street - Lisa Jewell by raeknox63 16/07/2008
    As an avid reader, I know I have been impressed by a book which I can remember the title and author of a week later! And I loved this book! It didn't take long for me to feel as though I lived on Dream Street, and the characters came to life so quickly - no checking back in pages before to remind myself of who was who! This is the first Lisa Jewell book I have read - it was actually the cover that caught my eye! (Note to self: never say 'never judge a book by its cover'!). And it ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting.Heart Warming. Funny in parts. Fairly unpredictable. 'Page turner'

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not her best novel. Becoming easier to predict outcomes with each book.

    31 Dream Street is the story of several individuals brought together after applying to a newspaper advertisement for 'creative people' to live in a house in London. A story which is funny in parts, sad in others and always thought provoking, but not heavy in any way. As is usual with a Lisa Jewell novel, you find yourself caring about the characters, as they could each represent someone you know. You become involved in their lives, eagerly turning pages, awaiting their fates and destinies. I have read all of Lisa Jewell's novels, and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. They are easy to read ... more
