This book was a joy to read. It follows the story of Daisy Davenport, a spoilt teenager that has it all: a massive house, a hot boyfriend, a gang of super cool girl friends and all the expensive shoes and accessories you could want. Wait, she has a pony too. Can't forget Polly.
But this all changes when her father is sent to jail for corruption, and her family's name is plastered over the newspaper headlines is a not-so-great light. Things only get worse when the family have to move to an a More...

I bought this book hoping for a funny book that I could just fall into and it would take me away from the gale force winds that are currently ravaging the seaside town I live in.... it didn't.
Sure I read it really quickly but it didn't entertain me at all. The writing wasn't that funny and it felt as though the author was trying to write in the same way as Louise Rennison but due to the fact Ms Rennison is a comedienne that was never going to work out well.

I immediately fell in love with Daisy and her snobby attitude. She labels everyone as either chavs, the Polish and bitches. It's easy to see why other characters are quick to pick on her. The book itself is easy to read and so much fun you can't help but get stuck in. That said I found that the issues were resolved a little too quickly. I understand that the story was written to be light hearted but many of the issues weren't. The book dealt with a parent in prison, class systems, bullying and t

Daisy Davenport's perfect life is turned upside down after her dad gets locked up for fraud. The story is funny and pretty well written - despite hating the characters at first, they (mostly) become likeable as the story progresses. It's a here-and-now book that relies a little too much on designer name-dropping for my liking, but it's still rather good, even if the ending is a little too neat.
My only problem with the book? It's a tiny, niggly little thing, but: "If there's a c More...

What I think is so unique, and so great, about RUNNING IN HEELS is that Daisy (the narrator) is so real. She reacts how we would react and anyone, in any situation, could relate to. Though she has lots of money and, yes, is a bit of a snob.. she's not really like that in real life. She's been kept in a shell of private schooling and a world of rich protection. When it's all taken away, how will she cope?!

Not the sort of book I'd pick up normally, but I'm glad I did. The anti-bullying message was very blatant, but Daisy was a cute and funny narrator, and there were several scenes that made me giggle. (I particularly liked Franco the illegal immigrant gardener being found in Daisy's sister's wardrobe. Naked.)

I found the opening chapters of the book unengaging at first. But as I read on I got into the story. Especially from the moment Daisy enrolled in a new school and experienced bullying from other girls in her class. Overall, I very much enjoyed reading this book.

It wasn't a bad book. It just didn't get interesting until the very end. Throughout the book, I just kept waited for it to start. It should have a sequel.
