Product Description
Product Description
Angie was 18, living in London in the Swinging Sixties. She'd heard all the scare stories, of course, about what drink, drugs and discotheques can do to young girls. But Angie was only playing around - until she climbed into the big, shiny car in Soho, leaving her friend to find her own way home.
From the Back Cover
London in the Swinging Sixties
When Angie Knight transforms herself into a mini-skirted dolly bird, it's an escape from life with her bone idle mother in the East End. Angie soon has the world at her pretty, white-booted feet as she dances the night away in Soho's strobe-lit Canvas Club with her best friend, Jackie.
She's heard all about the dangers of Soho, of course, but what can go wrong? They're only playing around.
Until club owner David Fuller sets his sights on Angie and, on a dark rainy night, she climbs alone into his big, shiny car...

Format:Paperback
A really enjoyable read following the transformation of a 17 year old girl. A kind of rites of passage story with some great characters, although few surprises. It's the events that make this a good read as we follow Angela on her journey, although there are few really memorable, stand-out moments. Enjoyable to read but a bit forgettable after a while.

This book starts off great with brilliant strong characters and the way their lives go - its really exciting and you cant wait to see what happens but then you get to the end - and it's so flat! There doesnt seem to be a conclusion to any of the various characters lives you have just lived.
I was very disappointed after a great start and middle to the near end.

I enjoyed this book by Gilda O'Neill, I liked the descriptions of the places and as I was reading I thought the plot was very good and fast moving. I imagined the characters very well and as I read they were in my imagination.
Angie as the title suggested was PLAYING AROUND but she learnt the hard way.
I would like a sequel to this book about Jackie and Angie; I think Gilda is a very good writer and anyone who has not read this book I recommend them to do so.
