I absolutely LOVED "Feeling Sorry For Celia". It is my favorite book, and if anyone tells you that it's no good, they are lyers with their pants on fire! Read it as soon as you can; you DO NOT want to miss this one. I wanted to rate it a 100, but the scale only went to 5. What were they thinking when they made up that scale???

At first I was confused but as the book progressed I couldn't put it down. It's so fun and different.there is not a dull moment. I loved Feeling Sorry For Celia and whoever didn't is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazingly written book! Elizabeth Clarry's life is far different from my own, but her story and experiences are relevant to any teenager's life. Insecurities, friends, wacky families, and finally, growing up are all significant aspects of this book. Elizabeth's dreams and aspirations are just like any other teenager's, a dream of a life far different from his or her own. Elizabeth portrays the emotions and vulnerability of anyone, and the format of this book is very unique. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a humorous take on the life of a teenager. I could not put this book down and I absolutely loved reading it.

This book is really funny, and exactly what a teenager wants to read. I'd love to have a life like that.

Feeling Sorry for Celia was a good book. I especially like the way it was written in a letter format, which is a distinctive feature. It was a funny read and is a 'feel good' book. Recommended to anyone!
