Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: Although I enjoyed reading "The Stormy Petrel" (5 stars), "Thornyhold" (4 stars) and "Touch...Cat", I was not too impressed with "The Ivy Tree" or "Madam, will you talk".They were still a better read than the Artus series though.Right now I'm rereading "Madam, will you talk?" after many many years again, but even on page 100 I'm wondering why this novel gets so many great reviews here on amazon.com. It's not bad, but it's not that good either.Two stars for the descriptions of Avignon, Nimes, Les Baux, Chateau d'If and all these beautiful places in Southern France, I've been to all of them more than twice, even to Marseille's Canebière and Vieux Port. However, I wish the plot wouldn't be as formulaic. Stewart always describes some young British woman who is trying to overcome her last unhappy relationship (or she is a widow in mourning) and going on a long trip to either Greece or France where she inevitably gets involved in some dangerous adventure while meeting Mr. Right.
Is the review positive or negative?
