Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Cat
'Feeling sorry for Celia' is by far the best book I have ever read. Every letter of the book I read made me smile and at some parts even laugh out loud. It such a sweet, funny book and is an easy read. It is also very interesting and original as it is written all in letters. Jaclyn Moriarty is obviously very imaginative so I really hope she writes more books because I am sure they would all be brilliant. If somebody can write as well as Jaclyn Moriarty can, they definately should.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Megan
I thought this book was great in the way that you were able to connect so strongly with the characters. Having it in a letter format helped create suspense and humour. This book was incredibly funny at times especially during those great letters from Elizabeths subconscious societies, e.g. the 'society of people who are Definitely Going to Fail High School (And Most Probably Life as Well!)'. Overall it is definitely one of the best books I have ever read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by kari
this book is by far the best book i have ever read. it was so funny. i love the author's style and way of writing the book entirely in letters and notes. i agree, this is a book mainly for girls. boys just wouldn't understand the humor. i read this book in one night!
