There's something watching the residents of 66 Star Street. On the ground floor we have Matt and Maeve, a young married couple. On the first floor is Jemima and Fionn, an older lady and her foster son who's filming a gardening television programme. Next we have Lydia, Andrei and Jan. Lydia is a taxi driver who despises her foreign roommates. And on top we have Katie and Connall, Katie in the music business and Connall is obsessed with his work; 'tidying' and making cuts in business departments. But what is watching them, and why so intently?
This is quite a relaxing book to read, despite its size! I liked reading about the residents and their stories. Because there are so many it didn't really get boring. It's also nice how they sort of overlap with each other, even though in the beginning they don't really interact.
Out of all the flats, the most curious to me was Matt and Maeve. Although they're a young married couple, they don't act like it. They act like an old, worn out couple. It's obvious they love each other, but like something's getting in the way. I'm glad I got to know what happened, and it wasn't left a mystery. That would have driven me insane!
Quite a light read, good for a holiday I reckon! You'd never guess who's watching though.
Overall rating
