review 1: The premise sounded fun, like an offbeat chick lit breath of fresh air in the midst of its more earnest contemporaries. Unfortunately I found plot and characters more ludicrous than comic, and the novel's ending unsatisfying. After all of the gyrations of a mostly unlikable, and ...

review 1: hmmm, quite a good book, but at times I thought it was a bit over the top, which made it a bit unbelievable: I mean, you either choose a realistic novel or you go for a sci-fi novel, but this was too realistic to be sci-fi, but then please don't add a reincarnated baby with an IQ...

review 1: Nämä Pancolin kirja ovat vähän vinksahtaneita. Sillä tavalla, että aluksi tuntui suorastaan epämiellyttävältä lukea tätä sarjan kolmatta osaa. Sitten yhtäkkiä pääsin sisälle tyyliin ja tapahtumiin, ja loppu 700 sivua meni hujauksessa. En tunne tarpeeksi ranskalaista tradititota t...

review 1: Quand j'ai lu "Scarlett si possible" de Pancol, je me suis dit que je n'irai pas loin dans la bibliographie de l'auteur. Puis, j'ai eu "Encore une danse" entre les mains qui a commencé à me réconcilier avec elle. J'ai rapidement enchaîné sur "Un homme à distance", relation épisto...

review 1: Que efeitos imediatos tem um livro despretensioso? Reaproxima-nos da genuinidade da leitura, do deleite celestial que ela nos proporciona…A Valsa Lenta das Tartarugas não é uma obra destinada a ser um marco decisivo na literatura francesa.A escrita de Katherine Pancol, que denota...

review 1: Прескачах толкова много... Тази трета част беше прекалено дълга, прекалено разтегната. Ужасно отегчителна и дразнеща на моменти. Имаше и хубави неща, което ме накара да я прочета до край. Но не бих чела вече нищо на авторката.

review 1: Confused, Katherine Pancol is confused and wants to do everything at the same time, which results in a book that makes you smile and wince alternatively because it was not meant for one type of reader, it is:a) pop lit, summer readb) psychoanalysis - but then after part 2 and now...
