Goggle-Eyes
(2 reviews with an average rating of 2 out of 5)
Publisher: Penguin
When Helen Johnston rushes out of registration in tears, Kitty Killin is sent after her. Kitty is not only a great storyteller, she is also the world's leading expert in mothers with unwanted boyfriends.
So it is that Helen and Kitty spend a morning closeted together in the privacy of the Lost Property Cupboard, while Kitty tells the story of Goggle-Eyes, once the most unwanted boyfriend of them all.
Goggle-Eyes is over fifty, grey-haired and gets in the way of Kitty's time with her mother. His greatest fault, though, is that he doesn't agree with their strong-held beliefs about nuclear disarmament, and doesn't mind telling them so.
This is a highly readable and amusing story dealing with a range of emotions and issues.

I hated the book, it had not storyline or discription in it and was a very boring subject. I would never recomend it to anyone except my arch-enemy. anyone who is tempted to read it I am telling you now, don't read it...
