5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite books, December 15, 1999

By 

Catherine (Gisborne, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Easy Connections (Paperback)

My sisters and I discovered this book years ago and loved it. One of my sisters virtually knows it off by heart! The chemistry between Cathy, Dev and Chris just jumps off the page, it gave me shivers. I have never read a book that deals with rape in this way. Liz Berry has managed to portray the people and surroundings in the book so vividly, I feel that I can see the characters and even Cathy's paintings! I only recently discovered that there is a sequel. I haven't seen it anywhere but intend to hunt it down. I am lucky that I found a copy of Easy Connections on a library discard shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books ever written!, January 15, 2001

This review is from: Easy Connections (Hardcover)

From the moment I read this book I was hooked. There is something so compelling about Cathy and Dev's story. The hard reality of rape is dealt with accurately but despite this the underlining love story grips you. I've been lucky in that I have managed to purchase all of Liz Berry's books and though Mel and the China Garden are good in their own right, nothing compares to Easy Connections and its equally wonderful sequel Easy Freedom. If you get the chance to read this book, you will never forget it. Liz Berry writes with such vividness that you can almost smell the paint and hear the rock music.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe it!, February 10, 2000

By 

sarah (Preston, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Easy Connections (Hardcover)

I can't believe that so many people from around the world have read and enjoyed this book. I read it about 10 years ago at school and found the mix down to earth characters and heady rock-and-roll lifestyle fantastic. I also read the sequel, and found it be of the same excellent standard. However, my favourite Liz Berry book has to be Mel. It is just a shame that they all seem to be out of print. These are books that I think every new generation should read.
