I began reading this book in the morning. I finished by theafternoon. Although it's not a page turner, it begs you to readon. The plot of a talking doll is so fantastic, the reader wishes Lady Daisy was there speaking to her. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to get away from the reality of books. Escape into a world of clean fun and be charmed by Lady Daisy and her friend.
