Customer Reviews

Repetitive
This is the first time I am writing a review on Amazon, but as an avid Martina Cole fan, I was so disappointed with this book that I have to shout it from the roof tops. The book is so repetitive that you could skip 4 pages each time you saw her go into the same description over and over again without missing the plot! I have never taken so long to read a book, but felt I had to insist to see if it would get any better - it doesnt. Over 600 pages that could have been written in 200!! Repetitive, boring and no story. Let's hope she's back on form for the next one!

No, no, no Repetative
Come on Martina you can do sooooo much better than this. Normally I devour your books, this one took me an age and I only finished it in the hope of a story. This book could have been a few hundred pages lighter.!!
Can we get back to your better books with a real story line please

Boring
One of the main rules we authors are taught, is show don't tell.

Martina Cole Tells.

The telling is repetitive to the point where she uses the same line twice on the same page.

There is hardly any dialogue in this 500pg book. Which is a shame as this is where the hard-edged scenes come to life.

There are so many ( faces) characters mentioned that readers get confused with who is who.

Faces may have been an enjoyable read if Martina wasn't so repetitive, telling us what we already knew from the previous chapter.

Very disappointing for a best seller.
