The Road to Paradise Island

Rating:
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: I'm hooked!
Review: This is the first Victoria Holt I read and I was totally captivated by it. She has the ability to draw you into the story from the first couple of pages, something hard to find nowadays. The story revolves around Annalice, a young girl who finds the diary of one of her ancestors. In it she finds a map to an island with many riches. Her brother sets out to find it but never returns. Determined to find out what happened, Annalice goes as well. There she finds the truth and also love. This book is truly enthralling.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This was one of my first books I read by Ms. Victoria Holt. Ever since this one, I have read almost every book I could get hold of. She inspired me to further read books similar in subject matter. She is a great author, making her characters and the surrounding environment come alive. Her books are very well written; the communication comes right through. I would highly recommend this book if romantic fiction is on your mind.
