Product Description
Review
“Gripping from cover to cover, Disconnected is one of those books you really can't put down. I haven't been so impressed with a novel for quite some time now and Sherry Ashworth has, on the merits of this one novel alone, become one of my favourite authors… It's not often that a book makes me think I must go out and find some more of this author's work now, but that's the effect Disconnected had on me. I was well and truly blown away.”
Fiona McKinlay, teenage reviewer for whsonline.co.uk

Format:Paperback
i bought this book while trying to find myself a new bell jar, or catcher in the rye, or really anything that would hit that self involved spot, and i was incredibly disappointed. To use Holden's language, this whole thing came across to me as totally goddamn phony, the main character just flounced about with no convincing motivations, and the ending was surely the worst, with her views and ideas changing with the flip of a switch, as if identity is as instantaneous as witnessing a morality tale. Not something i could ever believe.

Ever sat and thought, "I just can't be bothered" or gone to pick up your books and instantly felt too tired to study.
I know. I'm there right now. Upon reading a review for this book, I picked it up and was instantly hooked. It seemed to be all the thoughts in my head written down in continuous monologue.
It made me laugh a few times with just how accurately this title hit the nail on the head. We study all our lives (up until now) just o get a place at Uni. so we can study more.
Although it is written from girl's perspective, I can relate to allot if not all of its contents.
On the more positive side, it makes you realise that there are some things in life that make it worth living and that everything is worth the effort in the end.

This book expresses so many feelings that I had. I am at uni now but I felt exactly the same. The book is really engrossing and it shows how different we act with different people. I would definitely recommend it- I read it whilst doing my A Levels and it changed the way I think. I am not from a middle class family, quite a poor family in fact, but I could still relate to it.

This is a book that I feel many teenagers will be able to relate to but it does seem a bit surreal in places. Read more
