    4 Stars Lola Rose Review with images 02/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A gripping book

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May be a little to graphic for younger children due to the range of subjects covered

    I used to be a huge Jacqueline Wilson fan when I was alot younger and I think I read pretty much every single book that she wrote. I love the style of her writing and her ability to portray all characters of various ages, sexes, mental states and personalities. All of the different characters in each of her books are realistic and i'd go as far as saying easy to relate to - her books cover various 'real life' subjects such as growing up without any family (The Story of Tracy Beaker), living with a parent who has a severe mental illness (The Illustrated Mum), bullying (Secrets) and having a ... more

    Jaqueline Wilson is an amazing writer, and has won multiple awards for her books. Her books are mostly aimed at pre-teens although she has also written a few books for older teenagers. I bought this book when I was 12 (2003, when it was first published). I had always loved Jaqueline Wilson books, which was he reasn I bought it.

The paperbook version looks like it's for a younger audience. The book covers the issue on violent ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages really good very detailed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none really

    This book Lola Rose was brought out last year by Jacqueline Wilson a famous award winning author. This book isnt part of a series and can be bought from most book shops and some supermarket for £10.99 ($24.95) or less. I dont want to give to much of the story away but I will tell you a bit about the characters and the story line. I would suggest that this book would be readable for the ages 11 and above due to the story line. The main characters in the story are Jayni, her mum Nikki, her dad Jay and her brother Kenny. When Nikki wins 10,000 pounds from a scratcch card she makes her kids ... more
