Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was fooled by the excellent review that the NY Times gave this book, so I bought the first one in the series to give it a try. I am so glad I didn't commit to the whole trilogy because I can't finish this book. It is so long and plotless. I have no idea where it's going, and I no longer care. I gave up on page 329 (of 581 pages) and I almost never give up on books. But just read this crappy dialog and save yourself the $10.99 I wasted on this book: "Dieu," he whispered in wonder, "I was wrong." "Wrong?" My voice was panicky. "I thought I knew how much I missed you. But I had no idea." "Tell me." I wanted to hear again the words he'd said on the phone last night. "I love you, Diana. God help me, I tried not to." BLECH! Get me a bucket. This is no Harry Potter for grown-ups. NY Times, you lied!
