The Love Letter

Rating:
Summary: LOVED THE AUDIO BOOK
Review: I listened to the audio version. I found the 'Lover Letter' thoroughly enjoyable.The writer's style draws you into the story.You experience the lives of the individuals in the classic New Enland resort town. It was easy to invision the hot weather,the little bookshop and the letter found without an envelope and addressed to no one. It was a great little story. It kept my interest right to the end.

Summary: one star is too much
Review: It's very, very seldom that I come across a book that's so bad it actually crosses the line from 'bad' to 'evil,' but this one definitely does. Ten times my allowed 1000 words wouldn't be enough to even ENUMERATE all that's wrong with every single aspect of this booklet, let alone do details. And like all evil things, it prompts good to DO evil - for instance, it wouldn't take much for me to agree to have every copy of this wretched piece of sentimental porridge piled in Times Square and burned. Avoid it at all costs.

Summary: Terrible...I couldn't finish.
Review: By mid-way nothing had happened that was remotely interesting. The character of Helen came across as a domineering 40ish woman who had no friends (although everyone was supposedly in love with her for whatever reason) who hung out with her teenaged employees and obsessed over a ridiculous letter. I couldn't care less who wrote the letter or what happened to Helen so I gave up before wasting more of my time.

Summary: abysmal
Review: did this get printed ? it is embarrassingly bad. admittedly i only read an excerpt in a magazine, bit that was enough. the film will probably be o.k. -working on the reverse wisdom that great novels make mediocre or bad films.

Rating:
Summary: An average book, nothing more
Review: This was a charming little tale of romance but little more. The Love Letter made me smile when each character found the mysterious letter and the ending of the book was hilarious. But all in all there wasn't much substance to the novel. A good book if you want to read something quick and fast.

Summary: A Reader
Review: My book club read this book. All of us in the group thought the book was boring and dull. The whole book seemed liked an introduction. Never getting to the story. Nothing ever gets going. We didnt even like the main character. Nor could we even get into the other characters. I havent seen the movie yet so I dont know if thats like the book or if its any good. But dont waste your time with this book......Boring!

Summary: I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money!!!
Review: There's a difference between making love and what she said. There was no romance or sensuality. I was looking for something that draws you into the story, but I definitely didn't find it.

Rating:
Summary: Very sensual
Review: This book was sensual and full of life. The imagery was wonderful and the emotions were gripping. The author did a wonderful job of using an orange to represent the mixing of the sweetness inherent to innocense and the wild abandon of summer, into a sensual foray for the senses. I highly recommend this book to the brokenhearted, the women too wise for love, and those of us who have just discovered, that the love life of a woman in the 90's, might have a pulse afterall.

Summary: So boring I couldn't finish it.
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I thought I read a good review of it somewhere, or maybe I just read the reviews in the book itself, but after I made the mistake of buying it, there was no way I could read more than a few pages. It was so trite. I was able to resell it at a used book store, though.

Summary: If only you have a zero star rating...
Review: This book ranks at the top of my Most Boring book list. I finished it only because I couldn't admit I have made such a poor selection. I bought the book based on the critic's praises at the front of the book. Now I know better.
