I was bored and on an airplane!
29 May 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The back of the book, which I purchased at an airport promises a love that can make dreams comes true and talks about the consuming passion of Pierce. If I hadn't been stuck on a plane and had nothing to do, I would have happily left this book in the airport club or the hotel wastebasket. I would not have wasted my time reading it.
It is very hard to get wrapped up in a story about the two main characters when their only interactions include meeting at a school for a few minutes and several quick visits to a skating rink. Less than 20% of the book is devoted to them. And while the story of Giselle and Garek is somewhat interesting, way too much time was devoted to them. There really was no plot. Just conversations of Giselle and Garek. Even the characters mentioned in the beginning of the book, Val, Edward, Melissa etc. melt to nothingness by the end. My first Stone book and certainly my last.

Major Disappointment
25 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
Being a Katherine Stone fans for years, I had high expectations for this book. I was extremely disappointed. I knew the ending by page 50, character development was poor and much of the character dialogue was confusing. Two love stories evolved and a missing person mystery solved in less than 300 pages. Characters were mentioned at the end of the book that I didn't recognize (due to lack of character development). Ms. Stone's books were always a guaranteed buy for me in the past. However, after reading this book, I will think twice before purchasing another one of her books especially at a hardcover price.

disappointed after many winners

I eat up everything Katherine Stone writes. I was truly disappointed in Island of Dreams. It is not up to her usual standards - perhaps written to fast? The characters are wonderful but not enough character development. I would love to see more about these characters in another book. . . .
