Summary: Very Good Series by Chaikin!!!
Review: I discovered this series not long ago and found them to be refreshing! Enough mystery to keep you turning the pages, a little romance to enhance the story, and the great time period of the World War! I was tired of the stories with too much mystery/action with no character developement... to much violence... to much romance (gush, gush)... you get my point. These books cover a wide area... mystery, romance, espionage, war, etc. Not too much of anything. I don't want you to think by my previous sentence it is just a wishy washy book, no plot, etc. Actually these books are much to the opposite. It is a definite page turner (mystery/espionage, etc.) but also had character developement and lots of little plots off the main one! A surprise on every page. It is wonderful to know there are still writers out there writing good wholesome books! Thanks Linda Chaikin... keep them rolling in...

Summary: Pretty Bad
Review: I read many of Chaiken's books a year or two ago and enjoyed them (although she reused the same basic plot several times). The writing style in this book is elementary. She needs to work on transitions, on slowing down the pace, and on DETAILS. I don't mean what color her dress was, I mean what was she thinking. Most people don't think "I love him. I hope he isn't a bad guy," they take things apart and think about them. The romance was way too hurried. Come on. She has considered him a rogue for several years, gone through the pain of a broken engagement, and the second or third time she sees him she admits to him that she loves him? Give us more details. The writing was similar to "She hit him on the had and felt sad. Then he came in and saw them. He walked over and talked to her." If she had lenghtened the plot, added more flesh to it, she could have had an enthralling trilogy. The way she wrote it was awful! Do NOT buy it. Everything is too fast and choppy.

Summary: Romance, courage, betrayal... what more do you want?
Review: I really loved reading this book! This book is about romance, WWII, sisterly love, Paris France, patroitism and courage. Valli and Marc were well-developed characters and the plot was great. Valli also learns that though she is full of grace the grace of God is able to sustain her during her trials and her relationships with her sister Giselle and with the courageous, adventureous Marc Durell. (I found nothing wrong with the romance.) Linda Chaikin did another amazing job to make her latest series A DAY TO REMEMBER more intriguing. I really enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. Mrs. Chaikin did great on the research of the WWII in 1940 when Hitler was on the verge of invading France and North Africa. I like how she goes into other countries that I haven't dreamed of going there. Like Algeria for one and Morrocco. I really, really love to see what's next for this series!

Summary: Linda Chaikin Does It Again!
Review: If you have ever read Monday's Child or the Arabian Winds series and enjoyed them, then you will certianly enjoy reading Tuesday's Child. And, like in the books I just mentioned there is a good looking intelligance agent just waiting to fall in love with Valli, the main character. (Have you ever noticed that Linda Chaikin has a thing for intelligance agents?) Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy reading this book filled with romance, mystery, excitment, and suspence.

Summary: Magnificent Job!
Review: Tuesday's Child was a great book! i have read all of linda chaikin's books and this is one of the best! it has mystery, espionage, ballets, and romance. the characters are described very well and you feel like you know them by the end of the book. the historical accuracy of this book is also very well done, which the book takes place during the time when Hitler is getting ready to invade France. the ballet in the book is very well described and you can abviously tell that linda chaikin had to research a lot on it to give such a detailed explaination of it. i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! i couldn't put it down! thanks linda chaikin! get up the good work!

Summary: Not as good as I hoped...
Review: What Tuesday's Child, Linda Chaikin's newest release,lacked in an exciting romance, it gained in a skillfully woven plot. If you love Mrs.Linda's intricate espionage and intrigue, along with that nostalgic feeling you get from her war-time novels, this won't dissapoint. I've read 22 of Mrs.Chaikin's novels, and Linda Chaikin's newest work of art should not be passed by.
