Summary: JUNK
Comment: When deciding to listen to this book on audio cassette, I paid
more attention to the title (Paris being a place I love) than to the author. I have never actually read anything by this author before, but I know she is in the romance genre, which I do not read. But this has to be the bottom of the barrel even for this genre.
Everyone is gorgeous, a fact that we are told nearly every time a particular character comes onto the scene; everyone is
highly successful; even though Maria had been fat, she lost 38
pounds in 3 months, and kept it off (everyone who has had that experience, please raise your hand!), a feud that broke up the
friendship of the four women seven years previous was mended
after a bitchy screaming match that lasted about 15 minutes and
then they all became great pals again.
I often had the impression that this book was written primarily
for 1) money, and 2) to show off the knowledge of Ms. Bradford
in all things "cultured" from clothes to art to cuisine to wine.
Unfortunately Ms. Bradford does not believe that her readership
are members of the culturally elite because she finds it necessary to explain to them (for instance) who Gainsborough and Turner are. I guess mentioning that the character was looking at paintings was not a broad enough hint.
I suppose that among some die hard "Dallas" fans there might
be a person or two who could actually love this book, but I
think you would have to dig pretty deep.
What I find particularly sad, or perhaps irritating, is that
Rosenblatt is such a talented narrator. Why does she find it
necessary to take on such drivel?

Summary: There are too many books to read to waste your time on this
Comment: This book could have been half as long if you take out all the long boring descriptions of everything. BTB gives way too much information about what the room looks like, what the characters are wearing, etc. Using your imagination is one of the great things about reading a book. I should have learned from the last BTB book I read. This one is the last.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK
Comment: This isn't the worst book I've ever read but it's very close. The story is about four former friends who haven't spoken to each other in seven years but will be reunited when they celebrate their mentor's eighty-fifth birthday. What makes this book so bad is the fact that you don't care about any of the characters. All of their tribulations are all summarized so you don't experiance them with the girls.
The feud that tore apart their "strong" bonds was juvenile and pathetic, worthy of only junior high students. One of the biggest beefs I had with the book is the fact that Alexa leaves America engaged to a fabulous guy and then hooks up with her old flame. Suddenly they're together and you never hear another word about Jack. In fact by the end of the book you're not sure she's even called him to break off the engagement.
If you feel like you absolutely must read this monstrosity, borrow it from the library and don't waste your money.
