5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who is a true Passions fan, January 24, 2001

By

This review is from: Hidden Passions: Secrets from the Diaries of Tabitha Lenox (Hardcover)

If you love the show Passions, you'll love this book. It's written in novel form, and it covers most of the major events which make up the backstory for the storylines now on the show. The main characters here are Sam Bennett, Ivy Winthrop (Crane), Julian Crane, and Eve Johnson (Russell), as the stories of their affairs make up the main plot. Grace Standish (Bennett) and T.C. Russell are featured briefly early on, but become more involved later as Sam and Eve meet and fall in love with them. Many other familiar faces pop up along the way, including Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald, Martin Fitzgerald, Alistair Crane, Katherine Crane, Rebecca Osburn (Hotchkiss), Faith Standish, even Crystal Harris, the nightclub singer -- and of course, Tabitha Lenox and Timmy, as well as Fluffy! The only problem with the book is that it has almost nothing about the younger generation, like Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, Sheridan Crane, and Ethan Crane (who have small parts) and Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, Kay Bennett, and Whitney Russell (who aren't in it at all) - even though they MAY feature Chad Harris as a newborn - y'all know what I mean. I guess they're saving the other characters for Hidden Passions 2! Another good thing about the book are Timmy's hilarious footnotes (marked by Martimmy glasses) commenting on the storyline as well as making fun of Tabitha's writing. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Passions, it will change the way you look at the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR PASSIONS FANS!, January 27, 2001

This review is from: Hidden Passions: Secrets from the Diaries of Tabitha Lenox (Hardcover)

This book is not only for the avid PASSIONS fan - who doesn't want to know how Ivy and Sam kept their romance a secret? did Julian and Sheridan's parents love each other? or what TC Russell's first two names are??? But for those new fans...once you read this book...you will have to tune in to PASSIONS five days a week to see what's happening to everyone in Harmony 20 years later! I read it in a weekend. No true PASSIONS fan can be without it. The added bonus to Tabby's memoirs? Timmy's hysterical comments! This is probably the only book that you can read comments written by a real living doll!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for the viewers, January 25, 2001

This review is from: Hidden Passions: Secrets from the Diaries of Tabitha Lenox (Hardcover)

As a long time viewer of Pasions, I have grown to love this show. Hidden Passions is a must read for all watchers of the show and those that want to learn about Passions. In it we learn some of the secrets that control the past of many of the Adults in Harmony. Answering many of the questions about what really happened between these people and why the anger and hatred amongst them. The book fills in only some of the gaps and leaves us wanting more.

Those that read the book and haven't seen the show will still enjoy it. It stands alone and would be a good introduction to the show for them. But even if you never watch the show, you should still enjoy the book.

As I said, this book only tells part of the story and leaves you wanting for more. I hope that "Hidden Passions" has a sequel that tells us even more about the past of this highly enjoyable show.
