4.0 out of 5 stars Not fond of updating books, but republishing YES, September 25, 2009

This review is from: Bed of Grass (Hardcover)

I bought the reprint of this book, quite excited. I had the original first printing that was falling apart from years of being moved around and was very happy they started to bring the old books back.

However I did not care for the updates and corrections to the stories. Its weird reading a book from the early 80s and see things like Email or digital photographs pop up randomly. Also, one of my favorite scenes between Judd and Val had been changed. I pulled out my old copy and saw the dialogue was changed. Also, the new conversation about birth control.

I am sure an author would like to tweak their works from time to time, but I would have just loved to have an updated version of my falling apart book. Guess which one I will be reading? Lets hope the tape holds.

Where is the spell check?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Dailey's Classic!!, July 20, 2007

This review is from: Bed Of Grass (Janet Dailey Americana - Maryland, Book 20) (Paperback)

The back cover says:

Her wild youth was a thing of the past.

Valerie Wentworth had paid dearly for the mistakes she'd made as a passionate girl. Turned out of her grandfather's house, she had raised her son Tadd, all alone. Now after seven years, she had returned home for her grandfather's funeral - even though it meant confronting Judd Prescott again. Judd, who didn't know he was Tadd's father. The man was more compellingly attractive than ever - but if Valerie had learned one
thing it was to stay away from Judd Prescott. If only Judd would stay away from her.

An oldie but goodie!
