5.0 out of 5 stars What a book!, 11 April 2005
This review is from: Dancing on Thorns (Paperback)
Even if you are not interested in ballet or the theatre this is an exceptional book, particularly for a first novel. Very strong characters, and very detailed knowledge of the subject shown by the author.
You will laugh, you will cry, but above all, you will want to recommend this book to other people. It's Birdsong for artists.
READ IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars true escapism, 10 Jun 2007
By Claire Stephenson (Liverpool,England) - See all my reviews
I cannot think of words to describe this book.It is a fantastic read, that seems to convey every emotion thorugh its vivid characters.The dancing element should not put you off.Beyond the first few chapters you begin to see a story emerging with far more complexity which truely draws you in to an unputdownable read. A must.

For every woman who's favourite book as a child was "Ballet Shoes" and then went on to read Jilly Cooper but got sick of the juvenile writing. Read this one! Read more
