• Very Unimaginative--time Waster 03 January, 2001
I was very disappointed with this book. The characters were not very well developed and I felt that the author spent more time describing the character's opulent surroundings rather than put any thought into the plot or the characters' personalities. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't.

• Power Of A Woman 22 December, 2006
This is the first book I've read by Barbara Taylor Bradford. Since she's a bestselling author, i suppose she must have written some books that are better than thise one, because there's no chance that a publisher would ever have published this book if it was written by an unknown author.
If you read on the back of the book, it's supposedly about a woman whose life is "turned into turmoil and despair" after "an unexpected act of violence" and that she "must go back to her own past and confront a relationship that has only brought her heartbreak". This act of violence takes place about two thirds into the book. Before that, there's just a long, tedious buildup, where absolutely nothing happens. The actual story of the book is the last 100 pages or so, and if you haven't already given up on the book by then, even they are completely uninteresting.
The book is one of the most tedious books I've ever read and it should never have been published. Don't waste your time and money on it and don't encourage the author and publisher by wasting your money on it.

• Pure Corn 04 September, 2000
This novel is a waste of time. I expected it to be more character-driven, with people I could like if there was more substance to them. I enjoyed the characters of Stephanie and her daughter from what few characterizations were given, but I still needed more. The people in this book are all ultra-rich which just makes the reader depressed that she/he isn't rich too. It seems like all the characters do in this novel is travel from country to country, which I cannot relate too. They also don't seem to change that much by the end of the book. The plot is boring and corny, with many other subplots popping up (like one of Stephanie's sons having an obsessive ex-girlfriend) that never get anywhere. The author also made it sound like Stephanie's daughter Chloe's father was going to be a big suprise in the end. It wasn't, just another rich guy. It would have been great if Bradford had made him someone who was average. Overall, I didn't like the book. It was too sappy and depth-deprived.
