If my feelings about this book were a line graph, it would look quite like a short right angled triangle – it worked its way up and then dropped right down, by which I mean it began and continued being an amazing read until I reached the last part. I was really looking forward to the end, but it was really confusing and slightly aggravating – I can't say why in case you do read it!
All Fall Down is about this girl called Grace, the US ambassador's grand daughter. There's been a lot going on on Embassy Row, what with her mother's recent death and all. People are thinking she's gone crazy and she hates the fact that she's now been given her mother's old room. She's convinced that her mum has been murdered and she's hooked on finding the culprit.
I'm going to mark this book on the two different parts: the beginning I give 5 and the end I give 3, which makes it a healthy 8 out of 10!
