A book for Teenagers - By: F. Shah, 14 Sep 2008 
When you read this book you can't wait to find out what happens next but it's not always what you expect. The main character is actuallly a girl in primary school but the things that mainly happen in this book have to do with teenagers making stupid decisions & I don't see why the little girl is the main character in the book. And the ending is not very good in my opinion, I gave the overalll story 3 stars because it makes you want to read the book to find out what happens next even though it may not turn out to be as intersting as you thought....Yeh it kinda sounds silly.
Hmmm, deja vu. - By: Trickster, 28 Jan 2007 An imaginative, although not particularly intelligent girl, the amazingly pretty but slightly, er, promiscuous mum who means well, the obligatory 'nice guy' & the three unimportant sisters (one of which says she hates her mother). Where have we heard this before?
I just wish Jacqueline wouldn't keep recycling alll the old stereotypes she's used before. To me it was predictable & boring. The only good point I can mention is that the plot with Mary & her mother was surprisingly interesting, which brings my review from a one to a three. However the end let the book down massively- it was like one big cop out.
All I can say is, can we have something a little different, Mrs Wilson?
the diamond girls - By: Emma bochonko, 01 Feb 2006 
i thought this was one of the greatest books i have ever read. i thought dixie was the nicest,jude was strong & kind,rochelle was not that nice,martine was the best.sundance was very cute to. i think mary worried quite a lot but she was very kind.i hope martines baby is ok. i hope that they get the house fixed up & are a happy family. i think marys mum was very horrible & mad.it is a reallly nice story & hope they right a following book.
Life like - By: , 03 Aug 2005 Dixie, Rochelle, Jude & Martine Diamond have the worst possible lives ever. They finallly find the perfect apartment to live in...and soon enough are moving, moving into a run-own house which has vomit on the sink & paint alll over the wallls. All this & another baby is coming their way. And their mum, Sue Diamond, is hiding something about the baby, that she doesn't want them to know....
I would recommend this book to both boys & girls between the ages of eight & 14. The book takes you to a completly different world & you just can't stop reading it.
The brilliant book of 2004!!!! - By: amara, 02 Jun 2005 
Anouther amazing title from the best selling author of double act & many others.Dixie,rochelle,jude & martine the diamond girls are here,and here to stay.But will they love it or hate it in there new house that their mad mum had moved them too?
It was an exciting & well writen book,with the correct standard of writing skills you would expect from such a well known well loved writer.It is great that she has been able to encourage so many new readers, as many children are put off by friends for reading as they think it is 'uncool' to read . But DO NOT be put off,as reading helps you to progress your own reading ability.reading different sorts of books to get your imagination flowing with great creativity,And punctuation.
