Customer Reviews

Not one of my favorites from this author.

I usually really love books by Luanne Rice. The Silver Boat was the exception. At the beginning I couldn’t figure out the Dulse connection. Finally figured out it was her heroine in the graphic books she wrote. Then there was the excessive description of scenery which went on and on. The final straw was the ending which left me totally perplexed. So many of the books storylines were just left hanging in the balance. Really disappointed in this read!
