Summary: Good, but not as realistic or good as most of Ms. Holt's
Review: I am a big fan of Victoria Holt and her many other pen names. I have read all the Victoria Holt books, and was quite dissapointed that this one did'nt stick up to her usual standard.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I have read one other Holt book, Secret for a Nightingale, and found it was one of the best books I have ever read! I went to a book store, much to my dissapointment, was told that her books were "outdated". I searched until I found this book. It was so captivating that I read it in two nights! I am still searching for more of her books. I'd reccomend any of her books to anyone.

Summary: Great book
Review: Like other reviewers, this was one of my first Victoria Holt books and I was hooked and went on to read many of her other books. I have read this one twice, my first time I think I was 13 or 14 years old. Ever since that time I wanted to have a daughter and name her Annalice, which I did eventually do with a slight spelling change. Definately not a trashy romance novel, it's full of mystery and suspense.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: My first book of Victoria Holt and I read it in only 1 week. Since then she has become my favorite author! The places and emotions overtake your imagination.

Summary: Don't be Fooled by the Cover!
Review: The cover looks like a "bodice-ripper", but it most certainly is not! Victoria Holt was much more respectful and had dignity.Annalice and her brother Philip are orphans from a long line of mapmakers. They find a hidden room in their house, and in there, a haunting diary from their ancestor and a map to an island with gold beyond their wildest dreams. Philip sets off to find the island, but he never returns. Annalice goes off after him and her life changes forever! This is one of my favorites! I especially like the Victoria Holt novels where there are secrets uncovered (like a secret room and diary) and travelling to exotic places. This covers both!

Summary: Victoria Holt's most enchanting!
Review: The Road to Paradise Island was the first of Victoria
Holt's books that I read. From then on I could not stop
going to the local library to search for anything written by
her.
In this story a young woman named AnnAlice finds a grave with
her name on the head stone. She then cannot stop thinking
about the person who long ago was buried there with her same
name. She finds the diary of late Ann Alice who came to a tragic
end early in life. She finds out that their lives are more entwined than just by a name.
I recommend this book along with all of her other works.
Also, just a note that you may or may not have known. Victoria
Holt wrote under a different alias "Philippa Carr"!! Have fun.
