5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have read in a long time!, Jun 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing On The Wind (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first book I have read by Mary Jo Putney, and it looks like I just discovered a new author.

Ms. Putney seems to have done her research; at first I thought the premise of the book to be unbelievable in the extreme - but it seems that there was indeed a similar club in that time period! Well, there's something that I certainly didn't learn in school!

The book is extremely well-written, the premise is original, the characters complex - everything I look for in a good book. If I found it a little too long - well, that's only because of my time crunch (I wanted to get to the end, already!) but that's hardly something to detract from a book when it's this well written. It seems to me that Ms. Putney is one of those writers where you feel as if every word she put down on paper was meant to be there - that, combined with a daring and original story makes her one of the best.

You can't help feeling for Kit, and, although another reviewer found it odd that she would go to such great lengths to help her sister, I don't find it odd, but rather touching - and rare. I also did not find the "twin thing" unbelievable as other reviewers did - these things really do happen in real life (both that she "found" another twin, and that she could "feel" what her twin is feeling - at least to some degree).

In short, if what you are looking for is good writing, an original and daring plot, with a touch of the dark side thrown in - this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another in the Fallen Angel series!!, Mar 26 2003

By	Erik Weikum "eaweikum" (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book if you enjoy Mary Jo Putney's work. She has outdone herself in this book as she managed for over 100+ pages to keep me from figuring out the exact details of what the plot was. Not only what but we get to meet a host of new characters, and numerous old friends, whom we have met before in her stories. This is a continuation of Ms. Putney's Fallen Angel Series and if you've read the others before and are just now finding this book as I did, then it definately helps to connect the dots so to speak. While the story did drag in a few places its worth the reading time, if just to finish off the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!!, Dec 29 2002

By	"jules6745" (Sacramento area, California) - See all my reviews

I loved this book. No matter how bored I am, I can always pick this book up and still find myself entranced by the plot and the characters. It is one of my favorite books that I have ever read, rating above One Perfect Rose, which is quite possibly my second favorite. She is a great writer, and I have collected all of the Fallen Angels Series, and it is the best out of that series in my opinion. Everyone who likes books written by MJP should read this book. I also recommend One Perfect Rose, which is about Michael's older brother, Stephen. It is entertaining and the story is heartwarming. It was the first Romance Novel I have ever read, and most have not lived up to its story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucien's book tries to do too much..
Well, if you can set aside the unlikely coincidence of one twin falling for another twin (in a different set!), this is a really interesting book. Read more
