I thought that it was a very funny and ironic type book. One that I wouldn't normally read but will read more of the sametype now that i have read one which is so good. I thought that it was great how he had things which guys that age wouldn't normally have such as an imaginary dog.

I liked it a lot, I would always end up thinking about the book after I finished reading it for the time, it got sort of confusing but hey what 16 year old boy doesn't get confused. well I liked reading a book from a boys point of view. being a woman who wrote it I wonder how she knows how boys think. Well anyways I have to do a project on it and I'm finding it very hard to write about it, because the book is so deep or something I don't know over my head maybe. I cant seem to be able to put the main ideas in order to make like a sort of scene selection for like a movie.

I'm 19 and i work in a kids bookshop. i don't say that to get me extra cred, but just to say that i have been reading quite a bit of teen fiction lately. But it is only Just in Case that has me 'googling' to find out more about its author. This is a beautiful book. Deep and interesting and beautifully written. Found myself reading a paragraph and then wanting to read it again because i wish i could write like that.
Its also a book that keeps on coming back into my head for some reason. I love how its looks at teenagers. And how it shows that you can parody something at the same time as being deeply sympathetic with it. Meg Rosoff is a very talented writer, and is definitely in a field of her own in the world of teen writing...read it... :)

by Rhe Simmons Not to shabby- if I may say.
Just In Case was superb in its own right. Not bad at all. Unique, but at the same time, it conformed and followed the the trends of a lot of the other teen reading out there right now. It was realistic, and I appreciate that very much so. The whole idea of the plot was completely original. Nice. Nice.
