2.0 out of 5 stars way to long, February 15, 2003

This review is from: Sass (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS BOOK TAUGHT THE LESSON THAT THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. I LIKE THE WAY THAT SASS HANDLED HERSELF WITH THE WOMEN THAT WERE AFTER CHRISTOPHER. I ALSO LIKED THE WAY THEY COMMUNICATED THEIR FEELING MOST OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, I FOUND THAT THE BOOK LACKED SUBSTANCE BECAUSE IT WAS 398 PAGES TOO LONG. SASS WAS INDECISIVE FOR TOO LONG AND HER SECRET WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY THE STORY. I WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS. MAYBE IF THE BOOK WAS SHORTER IT WOULD HAVE HELD MY INTEREST, BUT I FOUND MYSELF CONTINUING BECAUSE I HATE STARTING A PROJECT AND NOT FINISHING IT.

2.0 out of 5 stars too long and too detailed, July 22, 2003

This review is from: Sass (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am really trying to complete this book, but boy is it hard. I'm on page 2XX and still nothing. I think the plot is fine, but the story is too long and too much about nothing. I like the different worlds and cultures expressed in the story, but once Sass and Kristopher get together, the celebration of their union and Sass' fears are reiterated over and over again for at least 200 pages or so. Another anoying thing that really bothers me is that...the audience can assume that everyone gets up and is clothed and fed. My goodness! I hate to read details like what the characters ate for breakfast or the details of how they got dressed or which road was taken to get from one town to another. Too detailed. The book was also a little sappy with the "you are my universe and I'll chase you to the moon and we'll sail together through the hemilayas" lingo. I just didn't enjoy it as much I've enjoyed some of the other books written by Ms. Hudson-Smith. Sorry-

This review is from: Sass (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed the story between Sass and Kristopher but one of my huge problems was that Kristopher did not appear to be believable. Not only was he not believable as a man who had scorned Sass in the past, she was not believable as a once scorned woman. She gave in too fast then gave up just as quickly. She appearned to have mental problems. I did enjoy finding out the mystery concerning her past with Kristopher. This was the only thing that kept me interested and not able to put the book down. And in the end I sure was surprised. The romance could have been alot better.
