This review is from: Eden (G. K. Hall Romance) (Hardcover)

I liked the characters and the way they were portrayed in this book. The story was fast paced and easy to read. I couldn't put it down. The story takes place before the Civil War and some of the characters really start to question the morality of slavery. There is a lot of sex in the book...heterosexual & homosexual, but the author does not go into any graphic detail.

2.0 out of 5 stars Trouble in Eden, May 4, 2001

This review is from: Eden (G. K. Hall Romance) (Hardcover)

This book is about greed, lust, and sex. Those three themes consume the characters's existences. It shows how those born to wealth sometimes abuse their privileged positions and lose all they own. Although these things make most other books interesting, they don't work too well in this book. First, I know that this book is not exactly literature, but as an entertainment piece the three themes above do not enlighten me about the characters until the middle of the book, and by then, I just don't care.
