Summary: PLEASE READ ME!
Review: I (like most other Judith McNaught) fans fell in love with her books after Whitney, My Love. And have loved all her books. But I am disappointed to read about the ones with negative comments on this book. Comments on how Sloan wasn't changed by love or pieces wrong or missing. Sloan wasn't changed because her goal in life was clear, were as Noah's wasn't and his life/attitude changed with the love from Sloan. And if you found pieces missing from this book, I feel sorry for you because you missed a moving tale. I engross myself in these books and always leave with a tear, laugh, and smile. Please read parts of it again for it is well worth it. Or if you are a first time fan, read Whitney, My Love. Although this one was not near as emotional as Judiths other's it definately deserves applause, not condems. Keep them coming Ms. McNaught.

Summary: N.Y. Times #1 BEST SELLER (July 18, 1999) well deserved!!!
Review: After reading some of the comments from others, I am left wondering if they read the book, Night Whispers by Judith McNaught or a knock-off book with the same title. I agree with "PatycakeOO-USA, , Night Whispers was "totally awesome" It had everthing in it that makes a GREAT NOVEL. I want to thank Ms. McNaught for sharing her incredible talent with us and showing that she is truly capable of writing "Best Sellers" again and again. I am eagerly waiting for Waters Edge and will be first in line when it is released.

Summary: What "Night Whispers?"
Review: After Whitney, My Love, Judith McNaught became my favorite author. When I saw that her most recent novel had finally made it to paperback, I grabbed it and ran to buy it. I was practically salivating by the time I sat down and almost reverently open the book to read.Yuck. What happened to the Judith McNaught who created characters and situations that made you cry? The plot had potential. This novel didn't even touch that potential. What "Night Whispers?" Did I miss something? Shame on you, Judith. Please don't disappoint your loyal fans again.

Summary: I'd have chosen NO STARS if that was an option
Review: I read this book on a friend's recommendation. Normally I wouldn't have finished it, but I kept thinking that I must get through to the end of this book and then all would make sense! This is a story full of holes and uninteresting dialog. I thought I might find something familiar in this book since I used to live in Palm Beach area but there was nothing familiar! I don't think Ms. McNaught has ever been near there!! I'm still puzzling over how these romances developed out of this stupid story. This was THE worst book I have ever read.

Summary: Its good, but not realistic at all
Review: I bought this book to read on a plane ride and I must admit that I could not let go of the book. Chapter after chapter I read thinking that it was the best book I had ever read. But then, i noticed there were times when descriptions of uncessesary objects took up pages. Everything was actually very predictable. A meets B. A likes B. B likes A. A hurts B. B hates A. A begs B. B forgives A. Wow. Add to this a boring family history and u have a somewhat boring yet addictive book. The ending made me wonder if I was missing pages. All in all, I read it in one day, so regardless it could not have been too bad. I recomend it to people who stick to books after they buy them, like I had to do

Summary: Different, but still Good
Review: I really enjoyed Night Whispers. It started off a bit slow, but then I got really into it. It is very different from the usual Judith McNaught novels, but I thought it still had the same quality as her others. I am looking forward to the Water's Edge.

Summary: Had some promise,
Review: Initially this book had some promise, and I was interested in the characters, up until Palm beach. Sloan was an interesting character and i felt she was well developed. As for the rest, i really found them boring, and they had no personality. Noah Maitland had no appeal to me, he was tall dark handsome(typical) and of course wealthy. BORING!! It would be nice if men in romance novels were not always tall dark and handsome. It gets a little boring. Judith Mcnaught did a poor job with this character. She has done a better job with her other male characters in her previous novels. Also there was no magic or intensity between Noah and Sloan and frankly i didn't care much for their relationship. There was no wit, and sexual chemistry between Sloan and Noah. I was disappointed with this book. There was no romance and no interesting plot line. I got the impression she put effort in the first part of the book, before Palm Beach, but after that, it seems like she wasn't writing with passion. If you're a Mcnaught fan , you may read this out of curiosity (like i did) but don't buy the hardcover. I only hope her next book will be better.

Summary: Is S&S trying to destroy Judith M?
Review: Judith McNaught clearly needs more time to write her books. Instead of 2 below average books like Night Whispers & Remember When I'd rather have 1 *good* book like Perfect (or even better a *great* one like Whitney). In their desire to make money off of Judith, her mercenary Simon & Schuster editors let her come out with 2 bad books in row (although Night is *somewhat* an improvement over Remember When.) They seem to have no concern for her reputation or legacy. Judith McNaught can and should be to Romance what Stephen King is to Horror. She clearly has the talent but she NEEDS a new house! She needs people to protect her and keep her on track! As for the book... Sloan, the heroine, was "likeable" and easy to admire but you didn't "feel" her pain/love/conflict. And Noah was very sketchy. He seemed like a Ken doll you transferred emotion and thoughts onto. Sloan and Noah seemed like they would have made great SECONDARY characters in another novel. Courtney, the sister, was the best part of the book and her zest and spirit make it clear that Judith can still craft great characters -- she just doesn't seem to realize which characters should be front and center and which should be supporting. Paul, Sloan's FBI "friend" and a returning player from Perfect, was far more dynamic and interesting than Noah -- he was also more obnoxious, too (judging Paris and manipulating Sloan). I think Paul is actually more in the vein of her better heroes -- Matt, Clayton, Ian, Jordan, etc. They were great heroes because you sometimes weren't sure if you should like them or not. There was no mystery or tension about Noah. ALSO.... another part -- the most essential part -- of the McNaught formula is the *change* the heroine undergoes. Sloan is a great character but she doesn't grow or change! LOVE is supposed to effect a change on the hero AND the heroine. It *seemed* that somewhere on the backburner, shy Paris was being changed by Paul, and it seemed that Jess could have changed materialistic Sara and certainly "Prince Charming" (whoever that may be) could change cynical Courtney. Noah, however, really doesn't do anything to make fabulous Sloan any cooler than she already is. Watching conservative Sheridan risk it all for Stephen or timid Meredith stand up to her dad is very gratifying. And although Night Whispers was, in some ways, a technically good novel, it was not gratifying at all. I have read all of McNaught's work and except for Night Whispers and Remember When I would say they are all good or even great. 2 bad novels out of a dozen or so good ones isn't anything to be ashamed about BUT the fact that her 2 most recent novels are the ones that have "failed" (and nearly everyone I know who reads JM agrees with me on this) is alarming.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I almost didn't read this book because the reviews weren't great. I decided to give it a try anyway because I am a big fan of Judith McNaught. I loved it! It was hard to put down. I am sure I will be reading it over and over like I do all her others.

Summary: Several mistakes...
Review: I have just finished this book and found myself left unsatisfied. There were several mistakes where names were different to who was actually having the conversation. For example a conversation with just Noah and Sloan but it said Paul in the next paragraph. This led me to think that the author chopped and changed the story while halfway through. After coming across this sort of mistake a few times I lost interest but perserved to the end. Since beginning the book I felt that the romance between the main chars wasn't really as indepth as other books have been which is why I probably felt unsatisfied because I couldn't get into the story. The sub-plot of Sara and Jess wasn't dealt with by the end either. I agree with the reader who said it wasn't a romance.
