Phenomenal Book. I had to read it for my freshman year of college. The minute my fingers touched the binding, I couldn't let go. Must read.

Lacking. Instead of writing about what might actually happen in a hostage situation like the Japanese Embassy Crisis, Patchett decided to use that basic premise as a frame for a forbidden romance drama. Implausibly, two secret and doomed romances emerge from the trauma and confusion of this imagined hostage situation. The book is about them. But she mostly fails to concern herself with the deeply political and sociological roots of the crisis, because she cares about describing unlikelily stealthy sex in an improbably private closet in a house crammed full of people. It is unrealistic, distracted, boring, and undeserving of the accolades it has received, largely from consumers of basic paperback romances. It’s not meaningfully literature.

Perfect Book.. I have no words other than "Thank you so much AP."

Bel Canto. It took me 3 tries to get into this book. Not high on my list of favorite books. I found the story line a bit difficult to believe. I did finish the book. Lots of readers seem to enjoy it. Not me.

will make you love opera. This is a beautifully written story with a clever plot. Part romance, part drama and part thriller. It exceeded my hopes and left me wanting more. This is a book I would give as a gift because it has no downsides.

AP needs to work on her endings. I enjoyed the story and came to care about the characters. Unfortunately Patchett has a tendency to rush her endings, as if she tired of writing and just wanted to be done. In the end, I feel dissatisfied.

The best Ann Patchett book. This is my favorite book of all time. I should read it again.

Spellbinding. In this, my favorite of all of Ann Patchett's books, the characters come alive from the first moment you meet each one. She has seamlessly brought together a cast that except for these circumstances, would have never crossed paths. I was so engrossed in the manner in which lives intertwined, in my empathy for the plight of each person, that I mourned the end of the story line and what was a somewhat predictable final outcome. Lyrical, beautifully written and totally enchanting. I have gifted this book to no fewer than twenty people...all of whom have thanked me!

Lyric, beautiful story. Patchett is a master of prose, and her seamless POV switching is one of the best elements of this masterfully written story. It's a romantic, lilting story that carries us into a saturated experience that you won't want to leave.

Bel Canto. I loved the romance. Truly captured the feeling of love. I really wondered about it’s truthfulness. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie.
