Noticing Paradise

Rating:
Summary: Noticing Paradise
Review: Cat and Noah were passengers on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands. Noah is suffereing from his parents being divorced, while Cat has been babied by her parents. I thought that this was an exciting book and amusing to the reader. Good adventure type mystery with good color illustrations. I would recommend it to students fromt the 5th grade through the 7th grade.

Summary: TERRIBLE
Review: OMG... I could hardly believe it when i saw all the other excellent reviews this book garnered. I actually borrowed this book with anticipation, because I had previously read " Hard Love" by this author and found it to be an insightful and thought-provoking novel. Well, "noticing paradise" is cliched, stupid and downright boring. I could barely make my way through half the book. And the more amazing fact is that the author actually wrote this book AFTER "hard love", which shows that her writing has clearly deteriorated. I am so disappointment, but hopefully she will write better books next time.

Summary: It was excellent and I couldn't put it down.
Review: Wow, Ellen Wittlinger is a fantastic writer and I absolutely LOVED this book. The Romance between Cat and Noah was so cute. They were so different but yet so alike. I was sad for 2 days after I finished this book, just because it was over!
