“I would rate this as 3.5. Very readable and Dodd, the ambassador is interesting. His daughter was annoying and vapid and detracted from the story.”

“Not to sound too New-Agey, but I ended up liking this book since her move to Iran contributed to her growth and maturity.”

“Had its funny moments but I find these intellectual snobs in their ivory towers pretty loathsome. I thought she was looking down her nose at the Mennonites most of the time and it rubbed me the wrong way.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed this bio of Karen Carpenter. I could tell that the author admired her but was still candid about her problems.”

“I thought this book was going to be historical fiction but it ended up reading like a Danielle Steel novel. The main characters are sooo perfect and their love is beyond compare. Revolting! But I did like some of the other characters and the Russian Revolution setting.”

“Fast read. Not very deep. Most of the last 50 pages took a detour from the plot. It was weird how the author's mom (whose health everyone was so concerned about) was never mentioned again after halfway through the book.”
