Customer Reviews

if only....

I am giving this 4 stars because of the first rate story. It should have been 5 stars. If only Ms. Anthony had had a better editor! The story doesn't really become involving until the last third of the book, and the last few chapters are positively gripping. Unfortunately the book starts out slowly and then comes to several abrupt stops, including when Kate, the heroine visits her too-perfect family, and later when it takes way too long to get things going, such as in her seemingly endless training. In the hands of a good, tough editor all this uninteresting stuff could have been pared down and made tight and absorbing. It could have been a major, major bestseller. So many books let you down at the end; the end result doesn't live up to the build-up. But this is different. Everything makes sense at the end and it is extremely interesting. It's a shame most people won't read it because the beginning is so boring.
