Facets

Definitely not a typical romance novel. All the characters seemed very real and human most of all. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it when I first started to read it but I was completely engrossed after a couple chapters. I think that happens with every single Barbara Delinsky novel I read. Hillary had to be the most "real" character. I still can't believe she loved John despite of everything.

What else can I say. I have never been disappointed with a Barbara Delinsky book. Enjoyable! Excellent.

As far as I have got in the book, it is excellant. Of course I love Barbara Dalinsky's work. Tamara

Very good Book:John St.George shows us what can happen to a person who is on this earth only to fill his own ego, exercise his pride in himself and strive to please his father by measuring up to his father's expectations. He hurts everyone who gets in his path to get what he wants. In the end, Pam, Hillary, Cutter and Patricia show him where his evil, self-centered ways have gotten him.Each character was developed very well. By the middle of the book, I felt I knew each of them in a personal way. Each had their strong points and their weak points; except for John. I never did find anything good about him unless one wants to count drive and ambition as an asset. Ambition is all right John just directed it the wrong way.

Although not as good as Great Sky River, I consider this to be the second best of the Galactic Center novels. The science is absolutely mind numbing - I gave up after a while and just enjoyed the ride. A very satisfying conclusion to a great series.
