Journal entry 1 by boucli from Toulouse, Midi-Pyrénées France on Wednesday, May 14, 2003


Synopsis
Blamed by her parents for the tragic death of a friend, Clodagh has been banished from their home in the countryside to a dingy basement flat in the city. Her life is transformed when she meets the inhabitants on the top floor of 15 Russia Road. An exotic range of young people who explore a London of roofs, eaves and ledges, thrilling in the freedom and danger. Clodagh, haunted still by the accident, finds that running the roofs brings her back to life, but it seems that tragedy and misfortune may not be done with her yet. Barbara Vine's 10th novel, Grasshopper is an enthralling, chilling novel that mirrors Vine's acclaimed London Underground novel King Solomon's Carpet.

Journal entry 2 by MissBagpuss from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire United Kingdom on Saturday, July 10, 2004


a very enjoyable read. although the events portrayed were a little far fetched, they were written in a strangely believable way. i liked both of the main characters. i also thought the character of wim was well thought out and oddly convincing.
