4.0 out of 5 stars 1 of my top 10 (and thats hard to get into), August 13, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The One You Really Want (Paperback)

I am only 13, yet i have read plenty of books of all genres; including the handmaids tale, gone with the wind, all of sarah dessens, meg cabots, and Hemingway (yet i do not have to explain myself). And this was truley one of the best books i have ever read. Its plot was well thought out. And even though it sometimes told you everything without having to figure it out; it had plenty of twists that kept you guessing the plot's results up until the very last page.

Mansell is very skilled in areas where most authors struggle in. Its hard to define who in fact the main character is because she keeps all the plots flowing vigorously while never letting the reader get lost.

She has spun the perfect web of hilarity, romance, and meaning! A fantastic read for people of all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jill Mansell does it again, August 7, 2005

This review is from: One You Really Want (Paperback)

Jill Mansell is one of my all-time favorite authors, however, I was a little disapointed by the predictability of her newest novel. It's still well-worth reading, but if you think that you know what's coming next, you probably do.

This review is from: The One You Really Want (Paperback)

I have read all of Jill Mansell's books, and I have to say this is one of her better.

Light, frothy, and surprisingly compulsive, this is a great summer read. The characters are all likeable, the plot isn't at all challenging, and the ends are all a bit too neatly tied, but if you're in the mood for a good piece of chick-lit that's not too taxing on your intellect, give this one a shot.
