5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and funny - a great read, 19 Jun 2007
By Lapwing (bristol uk) - See all my reviews
I pinched this from my teenage daughter, and I'm so glad I did. The story of the two sisters and their struggles around their identity and their worries about measuring up was very well told, and very convincing. Vix's voice, expressed in rap type poetry was beautifully done, the random rhyming and the use of ordinary language made it very powerful.
The girls are "poor little rich girls" but the feeling you get is not of the privilege of their background, but the emotional poverty and the loneliness they often feel in their high-flying lives. The back and forth of the relationship between the sisters is lovely too - the rivalry and jealousy, then the misunderstood moments of reaching out to each other. I won't give anything away but there were a couple of moments that made my eyes fill, as well as many genuinely funny scenes and one-liners.
Oh yes, and my daughter loved it too. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for teenaged girls, 9 May 2007
By Joanna Rossetti - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a gem. It is about two sisters, Ava and Victoria, through whose very different personalities Lynda Waterhouse explores (with humanity, warmth and wisdom) many real issues that young women face: body image, identity, competitiveness, friendship, betrayal, family secrets, the shallowness of society's values and judgments, parental expectations and sibling rivalry and affection.

"Cut Off" is a great read. The language sparkles and is often poetic but the dialogue remains realistic and gritty and the voices are authentically teenaged. The characters are vibrant, real and sympathetic and their stories will touch and engage teenage girls, especially those who may feel that they don't "fit in" and those who set themselves impossibly high standards and whose identity is wrapped up in being "the best". It is a welcome reminder to take the pressure off, to allow girls to find their own passions in life and not to desire or expect perfection from them. "Cut Off" reminds us that happiness exists down avenues other than material and academic success.
