4.0 out of 5 stars Revealing, 6 Nov 2007

By	Mahogany "MC" (London UK) - See all my reviews

This book engaged me immediately. Written in a real matter of fact style yet carefully crafted to pull you into Pauline's young mind - a little wierd at times.

The story throws up a number of political/social grenades, makes me wonder if we can ever get the care system right.

I'd have given it five stars but the end left me hanging and wanting more.

A page turner, well worth a read.
