First Sight by Daniele Steele

Yawn.....first and last impression I've got from reading this one, it must have been written for the benefit of aunties in their golden years, too much repetition and way too soft weiii. A love story no doubt but with little interesting twists. I wonder if this has always been Steele's style and can't remember if I've read any novel of his before. Forty eight years young Timmie O'Neill is a nice character though, strikingly successful in the world of rich, talented, kind hearted and famous. The guy who plays one of her bratty Casanova boyfriends Zack, I think should be made younger by 10 or 15 years. Then it'll be quite interesting I think. The French doctor, highly professional, great sense of responsibility for all in his path, handsome, about to divorce his wife after thirty something years of marriage, devoted to his cancer stricken wife and kids coz the flame is no longer there but wanting to do it gently, mmmmmm he's quite cool too, but boring like hell to me. I'd love to have Timmie find her true love in a macho man who rules the corporate world ruthlessly and with a vengeance but with romantic heart and sweet loving for her. Someone like the hero from my recent read, McNaught's Paradise, Matt Farrell maybe? That would be rocking.

Cross Fire by James Patterson

I love reading this one. Actually decided to start Mr Patterson's novel after accidentally reading on him being the greatest thriller writer in a newspaper column. Must say I was surprised to find out that Dr Alex Cross is not white. Not because of anything funny, just that I think this little surprises adds to Mr Patterson's calibre. The antagonist Kyle Craig is quite a character too. Going far to do plastic surgery just to pursue his revenge against the media material Dr Cross. I think it's a nice balance of subtle humour in a not very intense thrilling but still powerful enough to lead me to continue reading for as long as I can detective novel. And Dr Cross' new wife Bree.....I actually imagine her to look like Halle Berry, ravenous, distinctly above average strong and sweet as caramel cookie all at once. Probably as I watched The Cat woman earlier today. I definitely will read another Patterson's novel later, probably other than the Alex Cross series, probably not. Whichever, I am now his admirer. Reading Danielle Steel's light novel now. And watched the wonderful story of JK Rowling's Magic.....something just now, suddenly feeling so dumbly Dumbledore inspired that I must start with the first Harry Porter novel today. Ahhhh Dear Gracious God, thanks so much for your blessings, I truly love being able to read.
