Product Description

Review
Amanda Quick Michele Jaffe's "The Stargazer" is fast, clever, exciting stuff. Jaffe is a winner -- a terrific new voice in the genre. She'll attract readers like a magnet.

Synopsis
The brilliant daughter of a renowned physician, Bianca Salva is thrust into an uneasy alliance with Ian Foscari, a handsome aristocrat notorious for his outrageous escapades and romantic conquests, when they masquerade as a betrothed couple to find the murderer of a beautiful courtesan.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Should have Left it on the Chair!!!, 26 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Thank God this book was given to me (and about 2000 attendees) free of charge -- I now wish I'd left it on the chair and never brought it home. After all the hype I fully expected a lush, wonderfully written book -- what I got was a disjointed and cliched plot with some of the worst POV glitches, grammar and punctuation problems I've ever seen. Not only a disappointment because of all of the extravagent hype, but also because this woman's educational credits indicate she should know better. It is tragic that wonderful writers who have truly earned a hardback cover are being passed over for a book like this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
After all the hype this book has received from the pre-pub press, I was looking forward to reading THE STARGAZER. I was very disappointed. The plot was not credible, the characters were flat, and the writing was pedestrian. Not only that, the book was poorly edited; allowing the author to use word forms that do not exist in the English Language.

I cannot recommend this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the book as much as I love Venice!, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
What an impressive debut! Dr. Jaffe's novel is certainly a page turner that I couldn't get enough of! The Stargazer is presented in a refreshing voice which at times becomes steamy. What a wonderful break from the often cliche world of love!

5.0 out of 5 stars A different read
The Stargazer had a wonderfull plot, and I have to say I loved the book. Though I do admit the beginning was kinda well...lets say it could have been written differently. Read more

I wasn't impressed. The plot was very contrived and the characters just didn't seem real to me. Their emotions seemed all out of whack with their experiences. Read more
