Rating: - Realistic Writing At It's Best
Catherine Alliott always knows hows to write a likeable character that jumps off the page with realism. And this time was no different...

The story of Polly Penhalligan carried on from 'The Old Girl Network' had me intrigued from the word 'go'. Her seemingly perfect life is speckled with bouts of realistic flaws that we all suffer from in real life that make this novel leap at you as you find yourself relating to situations and moments that Polly is experiencing. It makes her real. And ... Read More

Rating: - unputdownable!
I read the Old Girl Network just after Xmas and thought it was brilliant so when i learned there was a sequal i had to ruch out to buy it! I was not disappointed! From start to finish Polly has you locked in her fantasy world where anything is possible! She agrees to lend her home and land to a film crew and its "actors" for their new ad this as can be imagined sparks this hilarious witty book giving everyone who has ever been bored, tired or just down right unenthusiastic a taste of their own medicine! ...

Rating: - Rather tedious bored-housewife tale
Catherine Alliott seems to have cornered the market on tales of scatty, bored housewives looking for extramarital hanky-panky. Another of her books, The Real Thing, was a particularly excruciating example of this sub-genre. Compared to TRT, which suffered from a dreadful main character, Going Too Far is more bearable.

Rating: - Not 'going too far' with praise for this book.
This book was a fantastic read- a wickedly funny romance that captures the heart of the reader. it combines wit, frivolry and humour. At times, I found myself in tears of laughter! The scatty hero, Polly is fantastic and every 20something girl in Britain will be able to relate to her. Through this book, we follow her intermost fears and unavoidable dilemmas!
This book is any easy read which you can pick up at any time. It isnt complicated and would, I imagine appeal most to young, single, career minded ... Read More

Rating: - Funny!
I did enjoy this book which I purchased after reading Oliva's Luck. The lead character of Polly is funny as a city girl out of water in the country scene. Particularly liked the horse awards at the beginning! However I have to say that I much prefered Oliva's Luck to this as the storyline was a tad predictable and did not have as many storylines running throught it.
