Book Reviews of Love Walked In
Book Review: None of the ussual tricks
Summary: 4 Stars
Or, perhaps, very few. It must be challenging to write an original book, especially with the widespread availability of them nowadays, but this book does it. It is a romance novel, written by a woman (a man could not have gotten away with saying that his character's life started the day a man walked into her shop) and full of incredibly clever and original lines.
I loved it. Reminds me of "The Carousel" by the Evans guy. (Sorry Marisa, but it did, and I loved Carousel too)
Book Review: Remarkable Debut Novel
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a charming yet dramatic and heart-wrenching story about the transformative power of love.
It is remarkable that Marisa de los Santos, an award winning poet,somehow manages to make "Love Walked In" both old fashioned and hip.
Book Review: Swept me into the family
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. Maybe it was predictable, but since no one writes predictably any more, one never knew what was coming. A warm, thoroughly satisfying story. The writer used words like an artist uses paint. Beautifully constructed.Book Review: The Stepford Characters
Summary: 1 Stars
I really can't believe that so many people like this book. I found so many things annoying about it, that it's hard to know where to begin. The fact that everyone is not just beautiful, but movie star beautiful, was a big turnoff. I mean come on, someone in this book had to look average. The narrator insisted on reminding the reader over and over that she was just a tiny little wisp of a woman, with a breathtaking face. All the characters were not just amazing looking they were also wealthy and brilliant. The narrator was so smart she felt it necessary to tell the not so bright (or probably pretty or rich) reader what we were thinking all the time. And last, but clearly not the least, was the 11 year old savant, who wrote and illustrated a fairytale, and had the wisdom of someone 5 times her age. If you want a true fairytale read this book, this is not real life. Oh yeah, who thinks that two adult children whose mother leaves their family home, full of priceless antiques, to a neighbor might be angry? I do, but not the characters in this book, they understand.Book Review: This book can be summed up in one word:

BORING!
I have struggled through 200 pages and I am just going to call it.
