review 1: So, where to begin? Let's start by saying I'm not impressed. This book was recommended by someone after I finished The Great Gatsby, and the only thing I found the two have in common besides wealthy characters and tragedy is the word 'Great' in the title. So, so, disappointed in this book, as I really wanted to like it. The characters are shallow, unlike-able, and forgettable; I felt no investment in them. The plot meanders along randomly piecing together tidbits I desperately hoped would materialize into something exciting, but in the end I felt I was holding the literary equivalent of a crazy quilt. By the way, I'm not a crazy quilt lover. I gave it two stars only because the plot managed to give me enough hope for anything redeeming to occur, therefore, I kept reading o... morenly to feel like "meh" at the lackluster, bordering on inane, ending.I do love stories about the rich and their petty problems (insert eye roll), but this book just didn't do anything for me. It boggles my mind that anyone would compare this with Gatsby. I'm sad that I wasted a day and a half of my precious spring break reading this...no offense to the author.....but, gee whiz, I wish I'd read something else!
review 2: The great lenore, a phrase uttered by many in the book, and the cause of all the action in the novel is a character unlike many. While travelling back to the states from a visit to her father in the uk lenores plane crashes and she is presumed dead, and the story begins of how great lenore is . I don't want to say much else without giving to much of the story away, except that greatness is not the same thing to each person who knows or comes to know lenore. I enjoyed the book, not sure if I loved it, or if lenore is great... less
