My favorite book!

It's one of those books that you can read over and over again and still experience the same stong feelings of excitement and sorrow, and can still be amazed at the vivid and often moving description of Alex's struggles and triumphs. Every time I flip through the pages, I am once again transported back in time and back to New Zealand, now miles away from where I read. You can't miss this one! Once you read it, you'll be reading it forever.

Get your hands on this book!

"Alex" is a brilliant piece of writing. It is thought-provoking and is just one of those books that you can't stop reading. Alex is someone who gives us all hope and ambition...she is a champion and a survivor. The book is well worth the read

Brilliant!

I love Alex. She's an over achiever and though most of us aren't up there with her, we all feel overwhelmed and confused at times. I read Alex when I get to the same stage as she does in this book - nervous breakdown. Alex is inspiring to read, and helps me get back on my feet. She triumphs, and we both make it through. I really identify with her, the character and story is exceptionally well drawn - Tessa Duder is an excellent author. A must read, and re-read, and re-read...

I really liked it

Alex,the book, is a very good book. Alex is very good at swimming. I really enjoyed reading this book and I recomend it for others to read.

A great book , definitely worth reading!

Alex is a many talented, fun loving girl. She is an aspiring swimming champion, a great pianist, a wonderful actor, an achieving ballet dancer, and a skilled and determined hockey player... This is a book about falling in love, grief, family relationships, friends, winning, loosing, pain, New Zealand in the late fifties. In other words, Alexandra Beatrice Archer.
