In Defence of Bagshawe - By: Jennifer Hancock, 08 Oct 2008
I have read every novel of Louise Bagshawe & my personal opinion is that, while her works will never be classed as groundbreaking classics, i can always guarentee that as soon as i pick up one of her books i will have an enjoyable, if sometimes predictable, read.
Bagshawe has two distinct writing styles. The Jackie Collins, "Dynasty" type which generallly features more than one lead character rising to the dizzy heights of fame, fortune or success through various trials & tribulations which would have floored anybody but the heroine (my favourite of these being Talll Poppies). The second style is a very "Bridget Jones" chick lit type of writing & which is featured in "Tuesday's Child" & also in "Venus Envy." While i personallly prefer the former style of writing, i can understand the differentation by Bagshawe so she isn't pigeon holed & also so it alllows her to create more diverse characters (Lucy from Tuesday's Child does have a much more naive & immature personality then the 3 characters featured in Glamour for instance).
To sum up, i would recommend Bagshawe to anyone who wants the feelgood factor plus an easy & enjoyable read. All her books, regardless of style, are always sassy, sexy & fun. Within the genre that she write these are key.
Predictable, predictable, yawn, yawn. . . . - By: S. A. Bergerac, 25 Aug 2008
As a fan of realistic books with characters I can identify with, I was delighted with Venus Envy & Monday's Child (despite the predictable plots), so I was expecting Tuesday's Child to be along the same vein. Sadly, I wouldn't use this book for toilet paper! Lucy Evans is completely unbelievable as a character, & as irritating as nappy rash. The plot, even for Bagshawe, was ridiculously transparent from the first two pages.
Too awful for words - By: Tinker, 26 May 2008
This book was truly terrible; characters are bland & the story is very predictable. Do not waste you money on this book, I cannot impress enough how bad this book was! If you was to read a decent book with the same sort of story I'd advise Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger. It might not be set in England, but at least's it an enjoyable read.
Good Read - By: Sian Louise, 26 Apr 2007
This was my first Louise Bagshawe book - And I thought it was excellent, once I got started I couldn't put it down.
The character of Lucy was very well written & not sure about everyone else but alll through the book i was urging her & Ollie to share a kiss or something lol. Victoria was definately a character I think most people can relate to, the witch who's only nice to you once she wants something & then once she's got it converts straight back into the witch role.
Todd Mayle - well alll girls know at least one guy like this - good looking but knows it & is a total jerk.
Anyway if you like this author & these kind of books i would definately reccommend reading it :)
you shoudnt miss out on this ***** read!!!! - By: kyla, 13 Apr 2007
i loved this book it had the famous transformation process where an ugly ducking transforms into glitzy glamour puss but then settles for an in between look.

the story line was well writen & reallly interesting, i found this a very down to earth book.

i have read books where they are far fetched but still interesting & some books where the story is told just how it is without exaggeration but this book has a part of both types of books in them.

i was very pleased with thhis book, it was a lovely read, & has lead me into searching for more of louise bagshaws novels!
