the story line was ok, i liked the different characters but i found it took a while to get going. the main character, daisy, was unbelievable Iif you've ever seen someone wasted on drugs, thin from drugs, unaware they are blue from cold from drugs you'll know that they aren't attractive, yet we are constantly told daisy was amazing - i can only decide this must be because she never wore a bra. not only is the drug addled description of her unappetising but she sounds so whiney and not at all confident. she sounds like a dog thats been whipped and still tries to find affection from its master. again not attractive and no amount of red hair, long legs, big lips, scantily clothed and bralessness can make you believe she's this amazing person.
having said that I enjoyed the other characters, the story was very different being read by a big cast.

I struggled to finish this book, however, if you like the type of book with titles like "imprisoned under the stairs" etc. you will probably like this one. It was too depressing for me, the writing basic (everything was pretty, although the author was writing from the point of view of a young teen- so probably appropriate) and the narrator spoke very slowly with lots of pauses. I only kept going because its set in my home town. I thought the story picked up after the drag show and became more interesting.

I thought it was an interesting story and I really enjoyed the historical and cultural aspects. however, everything is triple described and I feel that it made the book longer than it needed to be. the narration was variable, the main characters voice great but I didn't feel there was as much emotion in the male characters as the narrator put more effort into lowering her voice. if it had been shorter I would have given it 5 stars!

Neil gaiman is no actor, but he gives each character a different voice amd maintains them. the story is original, fun and immersive.
really enjoyed this book

loved listening to this, however, Mrs bennett will forever be from the 1990s series to me.
