Book Reviews of Outer Banks
Book Review: Outer Banks is a masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I'd like to say that I'm spanish, so my english is not very good, but I think that is posible to express my point of view about Outer Banks, I finished to read, today and right now I'm sad, because I was very envolved in that atmosphere and I'll gonna miss the story, I loved his book, and I think that Anne Rivers Siddons have a wonderfull talent and she made me think about to much things and she specially made me smile and cry at the same time, so I would like to congratulation you, MRS. Anne Rivers Siddons. Stella GarciaBook Review: Why did anyone do anything?
Summary: 1 Stars
Kate apparently couldn't make up her mind. About whom to love, whom to befriend, whom to trust, whom to screw. She seems to drift along attaching herself to others, hoping they will give her an identity. The only thing she does really well is cry. At the drop of a hat. I have noticed crying in all Siddons' books. Crying seems to substitute for deep emotion. Mild emotion. Slight emotion. UP ISLAND was better, but Siddons never seems to lose her Southern Belle persona, wherever she may place her characters.Book Review: had me going until the end
Summary: 3 Stars
Siddons does a good job of character development and I got into the book. Living near the Outer Banks, being a member of a sorority, and knowing what small town southern life is all about helped to develop a kinship with the main character. But Siddons lost her touch toward the end. She throws such a poor twist in the plot, that it leaves the reader behind and wishing they had never even finished the book. So much effort seemed to be put into the beginning but the end seemed very hastily written.Book Review: Outer Banks is a masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an avid reader and this book is by far my favorite novel. I have re-read it several times and always find new pleasure in it. This is the first and only book that I have read by Anne Rivers Siddons and I look forward to reading more of her works. I identified with this book on so many different levels. Outer Banks was a sweet and poignant tale of young girls that we get to know all over again in their middle years. It is a riveting story that I have recommended to all of my close friends.Book Review: A Solid Story
Summary: 4 Stars
We have romance, suspense, and some interesting characters in this novel. This is the first Anne Rivers Siddons book I have read (actually, I should say, listened to). Perhaps, initially, I felt it was a bit too maudlin, what with all the intertwined sad events occuring to the main characters. Siddons, however, has a tremendous talent towards intertwining characters with page turning plot. Maybe a little too Stephen Kingish at the end but who would have thought it?? Get the book and read it
