Summary: If only I'd saved my money ...
Review: I don't normally read straightforward romance novels but I was in a hurry to catch a plane and it looked kind of interesting ... The blurb "Love Story for the Nineties" should have warned me off, but having read the book I realise that this was a compliment to it - in fact it doesn't even reach this level. This portrayal of two young people in love never rises above a Hollywood-type fantasy where two beautiful perfect people share a series of corny romantic moments - including (so help me God) making love on a beach - you can fill the rest in yourself from any stock romantic comedy. There isn't a single character in this book who isn't a cliche and I found it impossible to feel any sorrow when tragedy strikes these cardboard people. This saccharine romantic fantasy trivialises the reality of HIV infection and never rises above a sentimentalised cliche. Not very impressive

Summary: Breathtaking Testament of Love
Review: I first found this book in Florence, Italy and I live in the area that the story takes place. This was a wonderful find. The most dedicated kind of love to read about was found in this book. I cried buckets of tears that could have filled an ocean. The characters were so real I wanted to hug them. For anyone who loves and understands the unconditional committment, this is a must read.

Summary: A crack in forever
Review: I found the book abandoned in the nook of my friend's apartment, thought it wouldn't be too much of something, but it turned out to be one of the better-than-average romance book I have ever read, heart-wrenching and realistic, the novelist surely is good at spinning romantic yarns, but there were flaws in the book (doesn't every novel! ), some chapters seemed to be wasting time and too slow paced. however, if you are a reader of romance books, I would recommend "A crack in forever".

Summary: Absolutely Incredible!
Review: I have never read a book quite like this one! It is such an amazing love story. It shows the incredible connection between two young lovers, who feel they can take on the world when they are together. The unfortunate fact that Eric finds out he has AIDS only adds to the devotion of these two lovers promise of "Forever". I first read this book two years ago, and I have read it three times since then. I cannot get the characters out of my head! It's a MUST read!

Summary: a great love story
Review: i picked this book up without ever hearing about it. i simply couldn't put it down and finished it in one night. the story is highly charged with passion and romance and yet it doesn't seem to be a far cry from reality. it made me cry more than any other book ever. jeannie brewer made both eric and alex's character so alive and so real that it was hard to believe they are fictional. it is a life affirming story and it made me appreciate the present even more. brewer's simple yet powerful writing is great and A Crack in Forever is a must-read for everyone.

Review: I picked up this book when i had nothing else,I prefer suspense,however,this was the most amazing love story! I have now read it 4 or 5 times and i weep everytime. Don't miss out on this one! It will make you reconsider your priorities and figure out what is most important in life...love. I look forward to more of her books in the future.

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I read the book called "A Crack In Forever" recently. I picked it up from a used book store, thinking it wouldn't be as good as my Sandra Brown novels I love from [bookstore]. Yet, A Crack In Forever is by far the most touching story I have read in my life. It not only gives you insight to the truest of love but to feelings of loss and struggle unknown to the average man. I would reccomend A Crack In Forever to anyone - not only a romance story lover, but to a normal person looking for a wonderful book - with a heartbreaking look at reality.

Summary: A must read for every friend!
Review: I read this book in early 1997 and it was the most exciting and capturing novel I had ever read, I just couldnt put it down, the story is so alive and real that I just wanted more, I then had to pass the novel on and on to all my friends and acquaintences and now I wouldn't have a clue who has it, I will re-read it now that I can get another copy thru Amazon, a modern and wonderfully emotional story for all. I still await another novel equal to it's style by this talented author.

Summary: Disappointed from England
Review: I thought this book was going to be good judging from the blurb on the cover. Suppose it was fairly well written, if very formulaic. Oh boy, those characters, how unreal can you get, as a former art student and incidentally a motorcycle pillion rider myself (sorry I havnt yet lived long enough to pop out and do a spot of plane sky writing in my spare time)I mean there is fantasy and fantasy, and this made mockery of a serious subject, it didnt start too badly then became worse and worse,from a most unbelievable lawyer, ever dealt with real ones? A Dad who would surely have been decked by someone much sooner along the line, a priest that should have been reported, to various other air heads, nevertheless, I see lots of other people enjoyed this, so horses for courses.

Summary: Have a box of tissue ready!!
Review: I was hesitate about reading this book after I read what it was about and then read the reviews. Some reviews were good and some were bad(saying it was a too much like the movie/book Love Story). Well, I saw that movie and A crack in forever was a whole lot better! I cried for three days reading this book. The ending was the saddest one I read in a long time. I would say this book is for people who are true romantics and don't mind reading a book that makes them cry.
