Title: Long and winding novel -- a sleeper
Review: I was suprised to see how well this book has been rated by others. I could barely keep my eyes open throughout. I LOVE most of Demille's books especially Charm School and Plum Island. However, in The Gold Coast, Demille spends the first 150 pages going on and on about the lifestyle of the Gold Coast, while only occasionally stopping for a sex scence.......The book never seems to lead to anything worthwhile. I found it impossible to like the characters, and in fact I grew to dislike John and Susan. The plot seemed to have potential, but I kept waiting for it to get exciting. I kept telling myself to read another 50 pages and maybe it will get better, but it never did. I will certainly give Demille another chance, but I hope the next book I choose is nothing like this.
Is the review positive or negative?
