Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: I absolutely loved the House of Spirits and Eva Luna, especially the latter. I gave this book 2 stars because I expected a lot more from Isabel Allende. This book is very put-downable. There is no exciting development as far as I'm concerned. She's definitely got the talent but the story just flows so effortlessly in her previous novels that this one seems very far-fetched. But then again, I didn't like the Daughter of Fortune either, so I guess it's not just that I don't like a male hero. Although Diego does seem a little too narcissistic for me, and sometimes, laughably naive. To summerize it, I didn't like the main characters, there was nothing outrageously intriguing and everything seemed all too familiar.
