- derivative and boring, but this one certainly wasn't. Joanne Harris is a real storyteller and the book just kept me hooked from beginning to end. In fact I think was better than Chocolat. Harris has matured as a writer without ever selling out. Long may she continue!

How could this happen?
As the other's I'm disgusted!
If I'd known I was buying a reprint for the American market I wouldn't have bothered.
Why is it being sold here?

Like others, I was disappointed to find that The Girl with no Shadow was indeed the excellent Lollipop Shoes from 2007. However Amazon makes returns so very easy to do, that there was no problem! I shall just look forward to the next Joanne Harris story and shall certainly buy it from Amazon!!
Same book as Lollipop Shoes! (1/1 people found this helpful)
Ok, so I have read all of JH's books and so while skimming here I saw this one 'Girl with No Shadow' and thought Ohhhh, another I have not read! How did that slip me by? Well it didn't. This is the same book as Lollipop Shoes - I feel pissed off now because I have the same bloody book twice - and really it it ought to be more specific here at Amazon. So not a quibble with the actual book... thought I'd stick this on here since some other foolish person may do I have. But why must the same book have TWO titles? Why do that? So silly.
Oh. And no where near as good as Chocolat. Lacking in the richness and mouth watering detail that made the former so divine to read.
The Girl with No Shadow - Major Con (1/1 people found this helpful)
I am a great JH fan. So I saw the new title, and was induced to buy it as I'd also found Evil Seed. As Girl with No Shadow arrived I was so excited, and then angry. I feel conned .... Maybe I should have reserched more. I will put it back on sale here. But I will make is clear it is a tacky copy (the paper etc is cheap and tacky) to Lollipop Shoes, that I loved..
Bad on you Joanne Harris. Cheap Shot...
