Summary: Boring
Comment: This book is one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. It started off ok but it dragged on and the suspence was missing to keep me reading. I tried very hard to read this book but it was so boring I kept on falling asleep.

Summary: Interesting peek into the world of gold
Comment: This was a good book with several significant flaws, but it is still a great read. I recommend it if you want to escape to a world of money and wealth and power and handsome, smart, lucky people; vs not handsome, not smart, unlucky people. These characters are pretty much formula, but the story of the gold is very interesting. Tracing the history of the Celtic gold was facinating. I also liked the fact that the thieves were ignorant to the value of what they had and what they could do with it. This was the strength of the story, how the gold changed hands and how it effected the lives of those who touched it before it finally ended up in the collection.

The Risa and Shane romance never grabbed me. First of all, neither of them were developed as real characters. And the way they consumated their relationship was not credible, it was cheap. It was not an appropriate moment for lust. The fact that they rushed into marriage made it even less credible. But, that aside, I loved the story about the gold and the greed and the obsession. I recommend this book as a good read for a rainy weekend. It will have your eyes glowing for the gold.

Summary: too many different view points
Comment: This book had the possibility of being a very good five star book, maybe that's why it's so disapointing that it was only a two or three star book.

I won't get into the plot because others have done a good job at that. My main problem with the book is that the author gives the reader way to may view points of characters through out. In this book we not only have the Shane and Risa's points of view, but we have entire chapters, albeit shorter chapters (usually), devoted to about five other characters. This is just way too much to make the reader care about the developing relationship between Risa and Shane or to even be a good suspense, because she gives away so much by going into the other character's heads. As someone else mentioned you almost begin to see Shane and Risa as secondary characters.

Also, because there are so many different points of view it was very easy for me to put the book down when we got to someone that I didn't really care about, which was often.

Should you buy this book? I'd say check it out at the local library or wait a while and try to find it in a used book store. Don't spend the full price on the book, because in my opinoin, it isn't worth it.
