Acts of Love

Rating:
Summary: ZZZzzzzzzz
Review: Argh ... must type quickly. Before strength fails. ... Book so dull ... saps all energy. Much like kryptonite. Beware. Seriously, this book is sooooo dull! The plot moves along like a cement truck up a ski slope. Don't waste your time.

Summary: It takes an Act of Patience to read this book
Review: Have you ever had a dream where you are trying to walk thru ankle- deep mud, water, sand (pick one) in heavy boots, and each step is almost impossible?? That's what I started to experience about a third of the way thru this book. The main charactors, Luke and Jessica, talk, talk, talk, deep serious conversations that go on and on, and if they are not doing that, they dissect everything-- acting, directing, etc. On and on. I started skipping pages, and when I started reading again, they would still be talking about the same thing. I started skipping more and more, and finally I just didn't care anymore. These charactors are the most self absorbed, dull people I have ever encountered. Even the grandmother who had passed away was long-winded in her letters. A lot of the book is written in the form of letters, and boy, are they boring.

Summary: Enjoyable Reading
Review: Having just finished with a tough year of school I was looking forward to wrapping myself up in a great book that made the hours fly by in the most pleasant way. With so much dribble out there I was having a tough time until I spy'd Judith Michael's book on the shelf. "Yes! Goal achieved!" All I have to say now that I've read the book is I will just keep looking. This book is slow and while the characters are interesting they have so little to do you quit caring about them. I think any two people in real life would have more interest to me. My suggestion is DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. Reread some better and older books from the same author. And pray the next book is much better so I won't have to keep looking for a good book - and neither will you.

Summary: Not one of Judith Michael's Best
Review: I consider myself a big fan of Judith Michael ever since being fortunate to stumble on "Deceptions" years ago. Their last two books however have been somewhat disappoinnting and this one in particular was very disappointing. The characters were flat and colorless and the story too pallid and predictable. Having read and re-read their other stories multiple times I forced myself to reach the end of this one hoping that it would get better. It didn't.

Summary: A Wonderful Book!
Review: I loved this book to death! I swear, this is one of the greatest books ever. Not to mention the fact that my name is Jessica and I'm in love with a Luke...just like in the book. Hehehe, well, what are you waiting for? Go read it!

Summary: Way too dialog heavy!
Review: I read Inheritance written by this husband and wife team a few years ago and truly enjoyed it. Deceptions was also a good read, and I followed that with Pot of Gold, entertaining as well. I felt Acts of Love was terrible by comparison! Pages and pages of dialog that dragged on without getting to the point. I finished this book but getting motivated to do so was a real challenge.

Summary: A very slow read!
Review: I'm reading this book now, and I'm not sure I'm going to make it all the way through. The plot is obvious, and the ending will be no surprise. Also, the sentences just go on and on, sometimes taking up half a paragraph, for one sentence. For me, this book is a very, very slow read. I personally wouldn't recommend it.
