Title: such a disappointment Review: i love brenda joyce's books and have read all her others but i couldn't finish this one. i thought the story was horrible and found Elle to be most annoying. it's just too incestuous for me. it's one thing if they met each other when they were teenagers but to literally grow up with her since she was a baby, that's too much for me. i hated that elle felt betrayed by sean's "other woman" even though it happened 4 years before and what eventually happened to her. where's her compassion? she's so selfish. i had to force myself to get through the book after the first few chapters but i just can't finish it. i may just read the end to find out what eventually happened. sorry but i'm definitely not recommending this one.

Title: Dated material Review: This book was recommended by my son's college counselor as being very informative. I purchased the book and found it to be incredibly verbose instead. In addition, the information provided is dated. Since Ms. Fedder is no longer at Stanford, the information she gives is no longer accurate. Specifically, she stated that they have a special catagory for those gifted in math (as for those gifted in the arts and sports) and they rely upon the recommendations of the math department to select the most gifted math student. Upon calling Stanford I was informed that that was no longer in effect.She also speaks of her low opinion of early admission/early action programs. However Stanford has had them for several years now.If I, a novice to the world of college admissions, could easily spot two significant errors, how accurate could this book be to a reader seeking information.It is also manages to say in a thousand words what couls have been said in a hundred.

Title: Pretty good, a little heavy Review: I like this book, although it's a little dry and reads like a list of events rather than a flowing biography. Sometimes emotions and thoughts seem to be interjected where there would be no way for the author to know such a thing, but they fit the text well and it's hard to fault that. I enjoyed the clear writing style and the references are well documented; this book must have taken a long time to write. Overall, a good read if you're interested in Napolean enough, but not something to pick up for light reading. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
