Book Reviews of Love Walked In
Book Review: Beginning Dragged, Picked up at the middle/end
Summary: 3 Stars
A little boring in the beginning but then it picked up. I'd still recommend it. Very cute!Book Review: Boring, Repetitive, Uninspired
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted to like this book..but, after the first few chapters - in which EVERY point is repeated too many times with too many adjectives and correlations...I gave up. I think the author has potential - good editing would help pare the story down. I'm disappointed.Book Review: Boring, boring, boring
Summary: 1 Stars
I was glad to see that I wasn't the only one who thought this book was boring. I really wanted to love this book but I couldn't even finish it. Clare was just too old for her age & yes, I do know there are kids like that but she was just too much and Cornelia was just boring.Book Review: Breathing Life into Love
Summary: 4 Stars
In this novel, Marisa de los Santos breathes life into the abstract concept of love. Initially, Cornelia falls for all the cliched traps of love stories--handsome leading men, feet being swept off the floor, life-altering kisses. She's like so many of us, waiting and hoping for our chance at meeting our soulmate.
What I love about this book is Cornelia's transformation. She realizes that true love is attainable, and it is real. It is, at times, ugly and complicated. Love is hard; it cuts one to the soul. Love is romantic and familial and maternal. One's soulmate could be an old friend or a young child.
The ending is not a happy ending, but it is the only possible ending. I wanted to shake Cornelia, to tell her to change her mind, to be selfish. But her decision was the right one. She has been changed--in an earth-shattering way--and has found a purpose in life. I can't wait to read BELONG TO ME, and perhaps I will find more closure.
Book Review: Cliche All the Way
Summary: 2 Stars
This book was chosen for our book club. I suffered through the cliche, predictable, one-dimentional character writing. I gave it 2 stars because you could read it at the beach in the dark after having a few margaritas, and easily follow the plot.
