    The Golden Child
    I did not enjoy this book.The story surrounding the twins did not ring true. The characters were not transparent and I found it hard to relate to them.I did not feel much emotion from the father considering the situation.I do like reading about other countries and cultures so that was a plus.
  • Robin B. (Olmsted Falls, OH)
    Golden Child
    I had difficulty with this book in that I did not feel there always enough information such as what was going through the father's mind that he would not give the ransom money. Also I felt the characters needed more development. I also wanted to know more about kidnapping in Trinidad and how that fits into the culture.

    Golden Child
    I would not recommend this book. The plot was strange and hard to understand. The characters were not well developed I could not relate to any of them or understand the motivation behind their behavior. The author writes well. Her descriptions of land, homes, scenery and sounds are well done. At least to me the people didn't seem believable. There were some good interactions between the twins but the whole plot just didn't make it in my opinion.
