5.0 out of 5 stars I liked them all, Aug 2 2003

This review is from: Going Home: Unfinished Business/Island of Flowers/Mind Over Matter (Paperback)

I really enjoyed all three of these earlier Nora Roberts stories, I read this book in one day. All three stories are well-written and will pull you right in. The characters are charming, sassy and sometimes frustrating - totally human all of them. The romantic tension between the main characters is perfection. Nora Roberts writes about the lives of a concert pianist, a doctor, a bush pilot, a schoolteacher, a documentary producer and a Hollywood agent as if she has worn all of these hats herself, the stories flow well.

I really cannot say a bad thing about this collection of stories. Find a sunny porch or patio, a comfy chair and lose yourself in this wonderful book.

This review is from: Going Home: Unfinished Business/Island of Flowers/Mind Over Matter (Paperback)

Well actually I would give it 3 1/2 stars only because of one of the stories I could not warm up to. The first story was excellent,Vaness and Brady Tucker were easy to like characters I gave it 4 stars. The second one with Lainie and Dillon only 2,why, because they were not easy to like characters. I had a difficult time warming up to them, and also a complete reversal to the first story. The final story Mind over Matter was to me the best of the three I can see an early begining to her witch series and the Donavon Series. All an all a better group of stories than her last Dangerous series. I still think that she is great and you should give this book a try.

This review is from: Going Home: Unfinished Business/Island of Flowers/Mind Over Matter (Paperback)

This is a collection of 3 early Nora Roberts stories. Unfinished Business and Mind over Matter were both good stories. Fans of Nora Roberts' work will recogonize her trademark style, and though they didn't have the suspense her later work has, the plot was still entertaining. I didn't like the middle story Island of Flowers. It was very short, and in my opinion, none of the characters were very fleshed out. I also didn't like how naive the heroine was in that one. Nora's stories usually have strong, daring women. That is one of my favorite things about her work. I didn't like this heroine. Buy it because of the first and third stories.
