Summary: Unengaging -- Falls flat!
Review: I read all of the reviews praising this book and am puzzled. Maybe I've missed something here, but I couldn't even force myself to read the entire book. By the fifth chapter, I was completely frustrated by the "flat" quality of the main character. Unfortunately, the one dimension of the character is his idealism which is communicated to the reader via incessant lecture-like soliloquies. I wondered why I should care about this character... and never did find out.

If you're looking for a good example of a writer struggling to find his voice, then this is your book. If not and you prefer more sophisticated and engaging writing, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Summary: Next Dance - a breath of fresh air
Review: In a world where romance novels are totally ficitional in all aspects, this is one romance novel that leads the reader to believe there is real romance out there. Beautifully written and full of sparkle, it reaches its reader. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of real romance in todays setting.
