Awesome! I'll give Feeling Sorry For Celia a 10 if I could. Jaclyn Moriarty created characters you'd love to know and be friends with if they weren't fictional. Their conversations (letters) were well written, very witty. The letters from imaginary association reflects your average teenager's thoughts and insecurities. While humour is its main selling point, one must appreciate how the several parallel story lines sort of converged in the end. This book has lots of pleasant surprises.


Feeling Sorry for Celia was absolutely fantastic! It was originally written, exciting and expressed the feelings of Elisabeth very exactly! I hope Moriarty will write more!

Felling sorry for Celia was fandabydosy! Everything about it was so Ab-Fab I couldn't believe it. I've read it 10 times which is two more than I read the lord of the rings series. I think Jaclyn Moriarty is a delicious writer. My favourite hobby now is to snuggle up with a cold beverage, a fingernibble or two and read F.S.F.Celia. The letters from the different societies are funky, cool and ultra kinky. This book is hilarious! If you haven't read it- read it right now. Don't waste a minute. Its fantabulous!!!

'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.

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.

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!
Hope

this was a great book but confusing at times.Great for teens.
