Summary: Not her best work!
Review: After anxioiusly awaiting the publication of this book,I found it very disappointing. It appears that Ms. Bradford wrote this book merely for the money it would bring. I'm just happy that I got my copy from the public library and didn't actually buy it. The characters were predictable and I really didn't care what happened to them. I just skipped through the last few chapters. Your faithful readers need you to do better next time, Ms. Bradford. We need another Woman of Substance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: High Anticipation - Severe Disappointment
Review: After every book BTB writes, I think to myself "I have to wait a whole year for another chance to see if she writes any better" Well I'm not waiting any longer, and I'm certinly not spending my hard earned money that I purposly save to enjoy BTB's latest work. My family and friends all know what a huge fan I am (was), and would fight over who would by me the latest copy. They no longer will have that opputunity.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A boring read.
Review: After forcing myself to read BTB's book to the end, I realized that I had been duped into buying it because of her name. No one did her a favor at her publishing house. I kept wanting to pick up a pencil and edit the 356 page book down to approximately 150 pages. Believe me, there was very little substance to this book, if any. The waste was immense, from the very weak plot to the totally uninteresting character development. The conversations between the main characters very rarely brought the plot forward, and it seemed to me that the over-long descriptions of the flora and fauna and lunch and dinner preparations were put in the book simply to make it novel-sized. It skipped all over the place, and the addition of a new romance at the very end was ludicrous. I kept hoping for some answers to the subplots she introduced, but there were none. Bradford should be ashamed of this one. The writing was lazy, put there to fill pages, and I actually paid full price for it. That will teach me - next time I'll check out Amazon.com customer comments. It's rare for me to toss a hardcover book, but this one is already in the trash.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good Grief!
Review: As I was listening to this book in my car on CD (rented from the library thank goodness!), I was thinking, "do people actually think this is good writing? I could write a book a lot better than this!" I was so relieved to see the rest of these reviews. I won't have to bother going on to Disc 3. Thanks!

Summary: BOOOOOOOOOOOring
Review: Awful! Money down the drain! I was not impressed at all by this book. The main character was very shallow. The plot was very repetitive and with no point. It seems that the author didn't know how to develop the story, instead she just kept repeating many times how the character was mistreated by her mother...I felt no compassion for the heroin. As for the love story , it was very unreal without any emotion whatsoever. Basically, there was really no point ot this story..I just read it for the sake of reading it and putting it away, once I had started. Definatly, a very pointless read!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where You Belong
Review: Barbara Taylor Bradford admitted she was using a new tool when she wrote this book and she better read the instructions-and throw out the tool. It has no rythme or reason and it is very hard to read. The first person is obviously not her strong point. The story is trite and the reading is difficult.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Book Read in Loooong Time
Review: Even now I ask myself, why did I bother to finish it? I guess because it showed promise a few times, but nothing ever developed. It starts with a bang, but descends into histrionics quickly. Transitions are bad, food descriptions are waaay overdone, the final section seems to have appeared from nowhere and the heroine overreacted so often I found myself actually laughing. Does anyone edit books anymore? I am definitely not interested in ever reading anything ELSE by this author.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What happened?
Review: How did this book ever get published? I am so disappointed. I have read many of Barbara Taylor Bradford's books, but this one is a total waste of time. The book seems very disjointed and the characters have no personality and definitely no "substance." It is rare for me to not finish a book, but this one I cannot force myself to complete.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can I rate it lower than 1 star?
Review: I always finish books that I start but it was never so painful as it was this time! Val is such a whiner about her treatment by her mother, I had no interest in how she washes every leaf of lettuce and her turnaround relationship with her brother was ludicrous! This book was absolutely unbelievable and a waste of time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: boring
Review: I am glad to see I am not the only one who thought this book was bad. I listened to it on audio cassette and kept waiting for a plot to come along. I can't even imagine the author finding it at all interesting. I was expecting at least something of entertainment value having read a couple of her other books that were good.
