review 1: Redelijk spsnnend boek, maar niet meer dan dat. Heb me ontzettend geërgerd aan hoofdpersoon Colombe Barou, lijkt mij dat je toch moet proberen om er in ieder geval voor te zorgen dat lezers zich vereenzelvigen met de hoofdpersoon. Helaas is Colombe Barou, in mijn ogen althans, he...

review 1: Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Finding myself wanting to defend the book against a lot of the reviews I've read. I do think the characters are pretty well rounded out. I do find Antoine believable (though perhaps not someone I want to hang out with). And I am intrigued by Angel...

review 1: I wanted to enjoy this book but found it disappointing. The details concerning the immense reconstruction of Paris was something I knew next to nothing about and I enjoy a novel that makes me aware historical information while entertaining me. However, the entertainment value is...

review 1: Nicolas Duhamel, becomes a best selling author and his book 'The Envelope' is made into a movie. He is only 24 years old and becomes the hottest item on Facebook and Twitter. He becomes so entrenched in the processes of the social media that he loses all his real friends. He is ...

review 1: Dit boek werd mij getipt door Maria Schrijver, haar recensie maakte mij nieuwsgierig. Ik heb het boek gekocht, en in no-time uitgelezen. Wat een heerlijk boek! Erg goed geschreven, niet voor te stellen dat de Rosnay dit verhaal al in '98-'99 schreef! Sommige stukken in het boek d...

review 1: This is the first book I've ever read by Tatiana de Rosnay.I must say I've had a good few hours reading this. The build up was quite slow, but this was stated by the author at the beginning of the book. I thought that knowing it would take a while for something exciting to happen...

review 1: I enjoyed Sarah's Key, so looked forward to A Secret Kept. I chose the audio version to listen to as I. drove around town. I found myself quickly immersed in the story and longing for the answers Antoine Rey sought. Antoine at middle age finds his future unclear as he struggles...

review 1: I genuinely enjoy the voice of Tatiana de Rosnay but I could not even finish this book. After page 199 I just found myself so disappointed with the journey of Nicholas that I finally stopped trying to talk myself into finishing the novel. I skimmed the last few pages. This activi...

review 1: While poorly written, de Rosnay's Sarah's Key was at least a good story. The Other Story is not even a good story. The protagonist is an shallow unsympathetic male, and the deus ex machina ending that provides him with an opportunity for a heroic thought does nothing to redeem hi...

review 1: This was an ok book, easy reading and I went throughout it quickly. through most of the book, however, I kept feeling like the author was laying down the background for the story, and so I kept waiting for the story to begin. But that WAS the story. The climax seems to occur a...

review 1: This story lagged in the middle--I still feel like I was left hanging a bit with the story of Nicolas' father and with other aspects of the story as well. I did like the ending, but there were so many characters that were left undeveloped. There were parts of the story that I f...

review 1: Tatiana de Rosnay certainly comes up with unique plots, but this one is kind of macabre at times. Set in Paris in the 1860's when the city was being modernized, it was interesting enough that I finished it, but most of the time I felt like there also wasn't much happening. Writte...
