Reviews

  • Juani

    El libro llegó en buen estado. Lo único malo que tiene es que vino cuñado por la biblioteca. Compré otro ejemplar unos días antes del mismo título y no estaba marcado de ningún tipo. Aún así, el libro está correcto.

  • Super Artikel

    Super Artiekl zustand. Schneller Versand und sonst alles prima. Auch die Beschreibung hat alles ut getroffen und beschrieben. Gab keinerlei Probleme mit diesem Kauf.

  • I love this book.

    I am 26 years old and I read this book for the first time when I was in Primary school. And i fell in love with it. Every couple of years I get an urge to read it again. Before now I have always managed to find it in the local library but this time I thought I would just get myself a copy and then i can read it whenever I like. It is a lovely story about two youngsters that fall in love and then get preganant. They are both supposed to be going off to university and the pregnancy changes everything. It is an easy read and I can now read it in one day I have read it that many times.

  • brand new

    I Just bought this book for my daughter for christmas. It is a nice little fiction book that can easy be put into a handbag and taken with you if you wanted to read it somewhere. My daughter loved this fiction book. What she liked about the story is that it from two peoples point of view being Helen and Chris. Helen gets pregnant and writes letters to her unborn baby calling it Nobody. I have more book reviews on ireadnovels.wordpress.com

  • lovely book

    Dear Nobody takes teenagers on an honest, thought provoking journey through teenage pregnancy. It delves further than the obvious and explores the effect that other family members responses to the situation changes the way I thought about the issue. It still remained a very good story and never reduced to a judgemental point of view. Dear Nobody (Puffin Teenage Books) Dear Nobody joins the list to recommend to young women.
