2007-08-11 Not too impressed,

i have to say that i agree with 'A reader' whose title is 'why'? i also noticed the type casting errors of this book, not only was the naming completely out of place, but Cox obviously could not be bothered, or couldn't care about references the enid blyton had truley made in the other stories to the third form... the 6th form she could have had free lance over as this was to happen in the future, and therefore could have no more obvious hints than what was written at the end of the true last book.

i also believe that both of her writings... for the third and sixth form... were rather unorigional to say the least, she seems to have not only gone out of character with the speech of the girls but seems to have meely copied the 'summer term at st clares' with minor changes for them. same spiteful catty person who has their downfall and is never seen again, shock horror.

i cannot say that i would ever give any children of mine (should i ever have any) either of these books, best that they use their own imagination and make up their own 'gap fills'.

if they couldn't improve upon what had been written previously, they should have left well enough alone.

i would advise sticking to the origional 6 stories, and if possible, their origional publications.

(p.s. excuse the punctuation and spelling... i am tired and disappointed after reading the 'gap fills'.)
