Wonderful Book, Dec 7 2000

This review is from: Forever and a baby (Paperback)
This is a great story, the plot and characters have great depth. The flashbacks didn't bother me a bit, they served to clarify what was going on. I'm really glad I bought this book. It's definetly one I'll hang on to, and I'm picky about which books I keep. I especially like the way Ms. Early incorporates historical and cultural information into her books. I learned something while being entertained. Always a bonus.

Interesting But Choppy, Jun 18 2000

This review is from: Forever and a baby (Paperback)
Definitely more complex plot and characterization than the typical romance novel, which I appreciated. However, the excessive use of flashback made both the telling of the historical and the current events very choppy and hard to follow. Although I can appreciate flashback as a literary device, this book overused it. I enjoyed the characterization and story, and respected the detailed research she must have done on the Middle East. If only she hadn't constantly jerked me jarringly back and forth between the past and the present from page 1 all the way through to the end....
