 Rating:  - Cheesorama drama...I find myself feeling quite cross after finishing JG's latest offering. The reason for this? What started out as a really good read slowly morphed (after about 300 pages or so) into a sickly, over emotional cheese fest where men and women alike kept dramatically bursting into tears and the 'falling in love' of the various occupants of the book was vomit inducingly awful! What went wrong???? Nan, a strong and hearty woman living on Nantucket, decides to open up her rambling home to boarders to help with a financial crisis. And so in walks various believable characters who are likeable and plausible. All with a tale to tell that's easy to relate to and leaves you feeling the need to get to know more. Various sub-plots are thrown in here and there and, like I say, a really good read is developing. Then... it all seems to slooooow down and go hurtling downhill at a frigtening speed. Awful awful awful last quarter - what was she thinking? And after reading a couple of not so great novels by this author, I was beginning to think that she was back on form. But it would appear not... Rating:  - Plagiarism alertAnyone who has read Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City will recognise that Nan has been copied from the eccentric elderly landlady,Mrs.Madrigal.The similarities are endless. Rating:  - Wonderful, Uplifting, UnforgettableI want Nan as a friend! I wish she would adopt me. I thought she was the best female charactor I have read about in a long time. All the charactors were believable and I cared what happened to them all. This is Jane Green's best book in a while, The Beach House is definately somewhere I would want to visit! Get this book I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Rating: - BRILLIANTThis is such an enjoyable book and I must recommed any chick lit fan in need of a decent summer read buys it now. About half way through, the book was starting to get a little obvious with who was going to end up with who but then a few twists appear along the way, which just kept me glued. The characters are so well described and you really feel part of them when the story starts to unravel. I have only read one other Jane Green book (Bookends)and would truly recommed both. I will certainly be reading more of her books in the future. An excellent book and well done Green. You truly are amazing. Rating: - Nice easy summer readNice easy summer read,with a few twists and turns thrown in at the end that i didn't see coming at all.Not her best but enjoyable all the same.
