Rosie finds herself caught in a high-stakes adventure of international intrigue.
I think this story is off to a good start. I can feel the tension rising between Enrique and Raul. I wish that when the jacket information reveals so much of the story you wouldn't post it.
I think that this book is going to be great. Already I feel that I want to keep reading this book. After this book I am going to check out some more novels from the author Joan Lowery Nixion.
thank you so much i don't think that iam going to read this book anymore bacause of what you said.
thank you for saving me time i really don't like books about sailing
This book has a very confusing start, because I just got done reading the book cover thing. I don't get who is who and how many people are sailing, and what they are sailing on. And the interchange of names is very confusing. I guess I will have to read more to understand.
I really do not get this book. I mean I agree with Sara. It is very, very confusing. I guess I will just have to keep reading the book to find the answers.
I really do think this book is very interesting. I have a feeling that this book is not going be to mainly about sailing though. I think it is a good idea to contine every book you start, because it may get better. So, all of you who do not want to continue this book, I think you should give it another try. Also, all of you whom are confused you should just start off with the prologue. I wish you all good luck.
So far I can't really tell how this book is going to be. It seems pretty average so far but you never know...
I personally think that the author's style doesn't particularily appeal to me but I'll keep reading until it bores me out of my mind or until its finished.
~*~Those who do not read good books are no better off than those who cannot~*~
I think that this book is very well worth reading. I am enjoying it a lot. I am courious to find out what really went on at the party. I think Rosie was getting in trouble because of something else, not just poor jugement. I am definatly going to keep on reading this book.
I am really curious to find out what happens next. I will continue reading this book. I really want to find out what will happen when Rosie calls her mother.
This book is pretty average at this point. I might get it out of the library if they don't have anything else, but I won't go looking for it to read in a day. I think it could be doing better at this point, not that I could do better, but maybe this will turn out to be the best book ever. It is hard to tell with only the Prolouge, the 1st chapter, and part of the second chapter.
See you all next week-

P.S. To email me put "Teen Book Club" in the subject or else it will get deleted before I read it.
I thought this sounded to confusing to read? I mean, where's the cream filling? LoL! Sry if i put the wrong e adress, it's the one my sis and i share... is this a good book? i think not. i read the first page, and don't have anymore to do with it.
But, i love romance. is it just me? i couldn't even sit through wayside school in third grade! lol! I think i'm touching the weird side.
