This book was interesting throughout the whole body, but I highly disagree with the ending, that was so sudden and illogical all of a sudden. That is the only reason I just gave the book a 3. It's about this girl from LA named Calypso, and she moved to Britain, where she studies at a private school, has her friends and boyfriend, and her life seems just fine, except for very minor daily problems. One day, however, her mother moves out of their house in LA because of his dad's Opus, or the 'Big O...more
A very funny book and Tyne O'connell certainly kept me entertained in this book! I hadn't realised that there were books before this one and as I normally like to read books that follow on from each other in order, I was surprised when I realised I was reading the last book of the series! This book is all about Calpyso and her troubles with her parents and her ambitions to make it into the national fencing team. Her life being at a top boarding school in England is perfect, up until her mother t...more
I only read this book because it is about fencing. And, thankfully, the fencing parts were pretty good ones. Throughout the book there were some fencing jokes that I actually was able to find funny. And their fencing master was hilarious. But mostly, the book was pretty lame. A fine summer read, I suppose. But for the most part, the story wasn't particularly compelling. Enough that I wanted to keep reading, but not super good. But for a $2 book from Powells, it was good enough. Apparently, this...more
This third book about Calypso follows her attempts to manage her life while dealing with her parents' sudden and unexpected marital issues. An American in an English boarding school, she simply wants to earn a spot on the national fencing team and keep up with her boyfriend, Prince Frederick. Then her mother suddenly shows up on her doorstep. Prince Freddie continues to be her boyfriend, though several miscommunications put this in jeopardy. When she tries to break into his school, she gets caug...more
This book was okay, not the best in the series though. I found Sarah and Bob splitting up and getting back together quite pointless. I would have liked it better if they stayed apart. Also is it just me or is Freddie kind of an arse?
Krisis keretakan hubungan ortu Callypso membuat dirinya jd depresi, terlebih lg hrs slh paham dg Freddie, pangeran pujaannya sekaligus kekasih hati
Callypso jg hrs menghadapi turnament anggar internasional membuat dirinya semakin pusing
Callypso jg hrs menghadapi turnament anggar internasional membuat dirinya semakin pusing
This book was okay, but the plot definitely wasn't as good as the previous two books in the series. The humor in this book is better, like when Calypso goes to Eades, but the stoy wen downhill when Sarah showed up.
Can Calipso cope with her parents marital problems and the National Fencing Championships and school and boys?
I thought Calypso had learned something in the last book but she's just as silly as ever in this one.
This book is telling some reality which is great.
but i dont really like the ending.

Yes we know that Calypso is crazy and when you throw her crazy parents into the mix, spells disaster.
OH MY GOD....(SPEECHLESS)
Awesomness :D
#3 in the hilarious Calypso Chronicles series (teen book). Calypso is having relationship problems with Freddy, partly because her mother has separated from her dad and moved back to England! to Clapham! of all places! Even worse, her mother talks to her in baby talk! Poor Calypso is terrified that Freddy might meet her mad madre and takes drastic measures to make sure the twain shall never meet. Madcap hijinks pile up one on the other in this hilarious story.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! I <3 Freds and Star is soooo funny. Honey makes me wanna piss, and it's just such a suspenseful book. I had to stay up till 3 last night b/c i wanted to see how it ended! I mean I had to see if she got back together with Freds after she was found wearing nothing but a robe in some other guy's dorm! HELLO! I couldn't put it down after that! You have to read it!!!!!
Calypso is such a clueless girl! There were so many instances in which I wanted to strangle her for being so incredibly stupid. By her age, she should know better. This is the third in this series, but despite the faults of the main character, I find these books very entertaining. Great music on the CDs, too.
I wanted to rate this book 3.5 stars, but it won't let me. I thought this book was good not great though. It was kind of shallow but I liked the story like the others. It was very funny though, which is why I decided on 4 stars instead of settling for 3. Overall it was good.
These books are fun, though Calypso's lack of honesty and all the miscommunication gets old. I keep thinking she should have learned better by now and then I remember she's fourteen. Of course she does stupid stuff.
Not as cute as the previous two books in the series, but entertaining none the less. There were parts that were very funny, and Calypso seemed to learn a valuable lesson once again. Now to see how it all ends.....
If these books don't have you rolling on the floor laughing, nothing will!
Really enjoyable book, very quick, and I can't wait to read the last book!
+ third in the Calypso Cronicals
I LOVE this book!!
