Wilber Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:43:29 +0000 http://tapasfera.com/2010/02/body-surfing-a-novel/#comment-153 This is my first time reading a book by Anita Shreve, but I have seen the movie based on her book Pilots Wife and have heard about her books from watching Oprah. I thought that the main characters were developed well. I liked the way that the author showed what Sydney was thinking when she would talk to people and view things. I thought the author was very clever to use the same home from previous stories in this book. <br /> <br />The book had many twists to it, especially the ending which I won't ruin for you. There was one point that the book made me cry while I was reading it, but then I am a softy. I enjoyed this book, it was a fast read. I recommend this book, especially for reading on the beach in a lounge chair listening to people "Body Surfing" in the ocean.

At this point I'm tired of these predictable and boring books. Rating: 2 / 5 I was a big fan of Anita Shreve’s books and I have read and enjoyed most of them, but I was so disappointed in this novel.

Her maturity as an author continues to improve in her writing style, elements and narrative. Rating: 4 / 5 This is definitely the best book yet written by Anita Shreve.
