Rating: Summary: Difficult to get through.... Review: My sister warned me not to read it, but i did anyway. It was like reading a badly written soap opera. It was not at all what i expected from the book.
Rating: Summary: For This They Kill Trees? Review: She just can't do it anymore. She had one decent book back in the 70s, and her whole career has been one anticlimax after another since then. The characters here are one-dimensional and interchangeable: so much so that when I picked the book back up after going for a short walk, I'd forgotten who the main character was! The big question is, Why do they keep putting out her stuff? Even her biggest fans seem to have moved on. I know I have.
Rating: Summary: The main character is nice but boring... Review: The book did not draw me into this main character. I almost stopped reading the book twice, but gritted it out. Simply put, the supporting characters are more interesting than the main, and that's not saying much.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't get past page 25! Review: The book is simply poorly written. It lacks literary creativity and after reading many cliche phrases such as "it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop," after only reaching page 25, I wondered if this author has ever grasped for new and original lines of thinking. Also, there is a early "secret" concerning Claire that is discovered by Megan in the first section titled "1972," that is so predictable that it makes me believe that either the author wanted us to figure this out or that she takes us all for complete imbeciles.
Rating: Summary: I was very disappointed with this book. Review: This book does not capture the usual style of Barbara Taylor Bradford. Though the main characters were developed well, the dialogue was always too "plastic" and unreal. People do not talk to one another in that fashion! The plot was also not very well developed.
Rating: Summary: VERY REALISTIC FOR PEOPLE WHO WENT THROUGH HOLOCAUST Review: Too bad that Americans don't understand what was going on during WWII. BTB did her research and got it correct. I lived through this and I appreciate this book.
