Star Sullivan

Over the last week i have been reading a book called Star Sullivan. The book was written by Maeve Binchy. The book is part of the quick read collection. The quick read collection is short books with many different storylines, many of which i have enjoyed reading

I enjoyed reading this book as it had text that was easy to read and the language was plain and easy to understand. The story i felt could have lasted longer, it would have been nice to see if Star Sullivan got the man of her dreams.

The story was about Oona 'Star' Sullivan who was given the name Star because she was no trouble at all and she was always smiling. As the story goes on you learn a lot more about Star and her family. You learn things such as her dad is a gambler and her brother is a criminal but Star is always there to help and make things better. One day a nice young boy called Laddy moves in next door and Star falls in love only to get her heart broken. After starting work at the local supermarket tyo help bring money into the house, Star discovered that dhe had an admirer but after two disastorous dates they realized that irt was not meant to be . Could this family have a happy ending? Well! You will need to read the book to find out.

I would recomend this book to anyone and would give it a star rating of four and a half. Enjoy your reading as i think it was a fantastic read.
