Priceless

Rating:
Summary: Worthless!!!
Review: I can generally always finish a book, I am even still working my way through Tom Jones-but this one went into the donate pile at page 100. It wasn't even worth finishing. The characters were ragged, whiny and totally unbelievable-the story was thin and contrived-not a bargain

Rating:
Summary: A delight from start to finish
Review: I first read this book a good while ago but I still remember what a grand cast of characters this was. The unique storyline of the South Sea bubble was fascinating. As always, the strong narrative voice of this author is captivating.

Summary: Priceless by Christina Dodd
Review: I never could get into this book very much... the characters just weren't interesting enough. Though the book had a good plot, it seemed too rushed at times and way too slow at others. When Bronwyn is betrothed to Adam Keane, she only hopes he is a nice man... not even her one request could be fulfilled here, when she meets him and sees how shunned he is by the woman he describes as "ugly" and plain. As Bronwyn turns from the ugly duckling she once was, she begins to gain his attention... only who would want the attention from such a cruel and insensitve man? The only time Adam Keane is kind is when his whole world falls apart, and he is vulnerable and needs help from others. I found the characters quite shallow, with very little changes in their characters by the last page. Also it was a little overdone on the topic that it is shameful for a woman of this time frame to be intelligent or clever - and the author's continuous examples just got tiresome. Although I finished this book, it took great effort and I'm not real sure I can sit through another Christina Dodd book in the future.

Summary: A wonderfully entertaining story.
Review: This story captivated me and led me to read other books by Christina Dodd. I recommend reading The Greatest Lover In All England, but I liked this story better.
