I think the naivity (if thats a word) of Sophie was intentional, since she was tied down at such a young age and hadn't really experienced much. I kind of agree with the characters being not so well-developed, yet that didn't really bother me since I was more blinded by all of the lust and love in the story.<br /><br />I'd recommend reading it even when you do have something to read, since it is quite a good book. :)Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650414336750646084.post-27380843720232048172007-02-09T16:10:00.000+00:002007-02-09T16:10:00.000+00:00Her earlier books such as 'The Movie' 'Career Girl...Her earlier books such as 'The Movie' 'Career Girls' and 'Tall Poppies' were great and then she lost the plot with 'Venus Envy.' I think forgot to write a story line, talk about bland and boring. Then she decided to re-write 'Tall Poppies' and call it 'When She Was Bad' but she redeemed herself with 'Monday's Child' which was actually very good and with a great lead character. After that it all went down hill and 'The Devil You Know' was tedious as was 'Tuesday's Child.' It's a shame because before she found God she was well on her way to becoming the new Jackie Collins and then she had to go all Jane Green on me. Is it true that she is now the MP for Corby?

She writes a bit like Jackie Collins :P Ah well, I'll buy this book when I have nothing to read I guess...nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
