I had very mixed feelings about this book. I liked being able to get a glimpse into Cruella De Vil life to see what lead her down the path she takes. I found the story interesting as I feel as though I didn't know very much about Cruella De Vil as I don't remember watching 101 Dalmatians much as a kid. However, this book frustrated me so much!

I understand that she was a child, but I just can't fathom how you could not see how she was being taken advantage of and that her mother even with everyone shouting it in her face when more than one person is saying the same thing maybe you should investigate it. I get it she lost her father and was probably just trying to cling to the one parent she had left but she was left alone to be raised basically by the servants.

Due to it frustrating me it lost some star points.
