 best book ever November 20, 2008
Me and my mum have been reading this book and we think its excellent. we can not put the book down it is so exciting and can be sad at points . me and my mum recommend it. (Charlotte age 11)
 A book for teenagers. September 14, 2008
I thought that this was a real good book however the main character was yet again another young girl (who again turns out to be described as a skinny tall girl who's not very popular) who seems too young to have the role she has. You just can't wait to find out what happens next but some of the things that happen in this story sound a bit unrealistic. I wasn't very happy with the ending either, everything happened so qick so it was very short and you would have expected more things to happen to make the story sound more realistic. I would recommend buying the book but don't always think that something very interesting is going to happen next; at leats this is what is my opinion.
One of the best books I've ever read June 2, 2008
Jayni's mother wins the lottery, and when Jayni's Father becomes really terrifing and continues to abuse Jayni and her Mother, Jayni, her mom and her little brother Kenny go away in the night to London. Later on in this magnificent story Mom finds a new love, and the whole family change there names to: Kendall, Lola Rose and Victoria Luck. It all becomes terrifing when Victoria is diagnoised with cancer and in a trance she telephones her husband and tells him exactly where she is. He finds them, but when he goes to beat them Lola Rose's Auntie pitches in and kicks him up the bottom. Will anything turn out Ok for the family? Read Lola Rose to find out.

This is a fantastic book by the award winning author Jacqueline Wilson.
Lola Rose is about a girl called Jayni and her mum wins a scratch card. Not just ten pound but ten thousand pounds. Jayni's father abuses her mother and then starts to abuse Jayni. Then in the dead of night Jayni, her mother and her little brother Kenny run of in the dead of night. This book is sometimes scary but there are happy bits.
Highlights
I liked the entire book. Especially when a family member helps the family to get rid of the dad.
Any weak bits
I have to say that the weak bits are when they always have to go to an aquarium for the little brother.
Age Range
This book is for late primary and young teenagers.
You could finish this book in a week if you put your mind to it
Unputdownable?
When I started to read Lola Rose I couldn't put it down. Come on give it a try!
You dont have to be a teenager to read this! March 29, 2007

I bought a Jacqueline Wilson book by chance a few weeks ago, and enjoyed it so much, I decided to invest in some more. I chose carefully, and chose those books I thought might appeal to teenagers and older readers.
Lola Rose didn't disappoint, although I felt real empathy with the main characters in the book, particularly Lola Rose, an [...] trying to hold her family together after they flee their voilent father. It was very intersting to see how mature Lola was, and how social issues DO and CAN affect children, even if parents think children don't see it. I won't tell you what happens at the end, but let's just say the book contains enough to make you want to keep reading it - domestic violence, eating issues, illness...don't get me wrong, this is not a depressing read, just a very interesting one. Well done JW for another fantastic book
