5.0 out of 5 stars another great book, Sep 1 2000
By MaggieWalker "magswalker" (Kingston, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sins of the Fathers (Mass Market Paperback)
Cornelius is evil, because he is amoral. He does not know the difference between right and wrong He seeks always to bend the present and future to his design and his only weak spot is the past and the memory of Dinah Slade who's destiny he could not control . The point of Cornelius is precisel that he is unaware of his evilnedss and he serves as an example to us all of the corrupting poewer of money and sucess. Or was he inherantly evil?

4.0 out of 5 stars Howatch never Disappoints, Nov 1 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sins of the Fathers (Mass Market Paperback)
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because I feel Howatch's "Glamorous Powers" and "Glittering Images" are better. This book is the sequel to "The Rich are Different". My major question after finishing both is: What caused Cornelius to be so self-deluded and evil? He is totally consumed with his power and the "rightness" of his actions. In "The Rich are Different," Howatch seems to allude to his childhood isolation brought on by his asthma. However this explantion just doesn't seem to be enough to explain how he could be so warped at such an early age. Perhaps we are to assume that explanations cannot always be found to fully explain a human character so twisted. I will continue to read Howatch. The stories are complex and not easily predictable. I recommend her works to all.
