Negative Positive
Title: Stick with it...
Review: The first part of this book, as pointed out by other reviewers, was absolute torture. The scenes in the hotel were boring and drawn out. The book continued to get progressively better as the story moved along, with my favorite parts occurring during their time in Africa. I was, of course, blown away by the ending- but I loved it. Looking back everything seems to fit into place- it was hard for me to accept that Thomas would not have tried to track down Linda at college or after his divorce from Regina and/or Jean. Their love for each other was so vivid it was hard for me to imagine that he would not have sought her out. I've also read Pilot's Wife by Shreve, although I enjoyed this book even more (once it got rolling..) If only she could combine the feeling at the beginning of Pilot's Wife with the intensity of the middle and ending of this book she would have a phenomenal hit on her hands.
Is the review positive or negative?
