Summary: Who Says Media Reviewers are not Well Paid?
Comment: They would have to be to praise garbage like this. Following on the heels of the hilarious COMPROMISING POSITIONS and CLOSE RELATIONS, I expected another fast-paced tale of Jewish angst. What I got instead was one of the most boring tales in the past 100 years with characters as forgettable as either the dialogue or plot.
I kept thinking the whole thing was a joke - that at some point the heroine would look up from her desk and mutter how awful this stuff was, wad it up and see a dead body. But no such luck. Unfortunately Isaacs now appears to consider herself a "serious" writer which apparently to her means the same thing as "boring" writer. The story of love lost and found and lost (ad nauseum) is one that we have all seen and heard (and maybe experienced) many times. As the old saying goes, "Nothing venturned, nothing gained" and there was certainly nothing gained in this outing.

Summary: Agonizing
Comment: I am 44 y/o and started reading when I was 3. I can honestly say that this is among the absolute WORST books I have EVER read! It started out ok, when Jane arrived in London and got hit by the car...after that, it SUCKED! The most BORING book...I kept trying and trying to get something good out of it, to no avail. I just couldn't take it anymore! Finally, I gave up and just read the ending - and IT sucked too!!!
