What readers think of Feeling Sorry For Celia, plus links to write your own review.

Well, I was actually looking for a place where I could write to the author herself to congratulate her. Basically, what I planned on telling her was: That she tapped so well into the minds of teenagers. I mean, you get some authors who write a pretty decent book with incredible plot lines, but just don't get it right. There's either too much sex, too little. Too much naivety or too little (same thing right?)

But I actually could really relate to Elizabeth. It's not that she's particularly like me, or that we have anything in common. She was just so normal and realistic that I believed she exsited. Saying that, however, I want to stress that it was still an extremely entertaining book, and I too read it in one night. I agree with the other viewers that its probably not a boy book. (As you've gathered I'm a tennage girl too) I recommend the book for the same genre (teenage girls)

I've never laughed so much when reading a book! I love how you can really relate to Elizabeth as she gets bombarded with imaginary letters from "the association of teenagers", the cold hard truth association", and all the others! Made me wanna write letters to all my friends. I think every girl should read this book!

truly amazing....i couldn't have described the terror of being a teenager any better!! :)

I really enjoyed 'Feeling Sorry for Celia'. I am a 13 year old girl (soon to turn 14) and I love this book because it is so engaging. It is continually interesting, because there are unique storylines and several unexpected twists. The characters are realistic, and it makes me wish that I really knew Elizabeth and Celia and Christina. The characters have personality traits that I see in other people I know. Elizabeth's dad often seems to be trying too hard, and one of my friends gives me the exact same impression. All in all, this book was humorous and wonderful.

I abosolutely loved this book. it was soo true and soo real. i acctually felt like i was there. the letters is somethin i reallyloved about the book. also how it was soo real. it was uncanning

this book is great, fantasmic, just just a great book to read... i wish everyone could experience reading it.. i've read it 2 times and jsut got it today for a 3rd read have fun wit it!

this is one of my favourite books ever! i got it 2 or 3yrs ago, in the paperback form. i dont like the blurb written for the hardcover edition, the blurb on the paperback is much more interesting and intriguing- it was the reason i bought the book! i've re-read it heaps, the different format is really cool. i'm actually going to be using it as a "related material" in my HSC english exam tomorrow! i think its fantastic and i'd lvoe to see a sequel... so we can find out what her dad's new wife is like, how things go with jared, and share some more of her adventures :)

I absolutely adored this book. It was a pleasure to divulge through each and every page, and even more of an honour to read a book so greatly admired by other authors, that was written by a fellow Australian. I have read this book five times, and not because I am going to be writing a report on it for an assignment, but because of the author's sheer brilliance in the way she portrayed the outsider, Celia.

Reading her book for ever more,
