I listened to this as an audiobook on and off ver 2 years. It was read so incredibly well read and the anecdotes and practical applications of the science were great. If you have any general interest in science and the way the way the world works, from trees to ducks feet, pearls to orbits there's loads of fascinating snippets.

I don't think it's a book to read in one go as there's a huge amount of scientific content, but it's perfectly accessible. If you remember any of your science GCSEs then you'll be able to follow most of whats going on.

As an audiobook it's read incredibly well and is very funny. I think Lula is a great bit of comedic relief. I haven't been reading these in order, or particularly close together and I haven't read that many of them which is probably why I haven't got bored of them yet.

I love Katie Fforde books, they'r a comfortable, fun, light read and my go to when I'm after chic-lit. Unfortunately this one seemed very flat and dull to me compared to many if her other books. There wasn't much humour or romance and the characters were a big bland. Not to say there weren't things I liked about the book, but not a favourite.

There were times where St Therese's childlike naivety was grating and yet there were times when it really moved me. Particularly towards the end of her life and seeing some of her life from her sisters' perspectives really added emphasis to her small, daily, unremarkable sacrifices.
