Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 823.914 EAN: 9780452289444 ISBN: 0452289440 Label: Plume Manufacturer: Plume Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 400 Publication Date: May 27, 2008 Publisher: Plume Studio: Plume Editorial Review: Product Description: The New York Times bestseller by one of the best-loved authors in womens fiction With this life-affirming tale of friendship and fate, Jane Green once again shows why she is a nationally bestselling author with legions of loyal fans. The story of a group of people who havent seen each other since they were best friends in school, they reunite when one of them dies in a terrible tragedy. Recapturing the intimacy of their younger days, they are each surprised at the impact their encounter brings. Warm, witty, and as wise as ever, Second Chance will strike a chord with anyone who is still trying to figure life out. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Boring and reads like other novels of late...."Second Chance" focuses on the lives of former school friends who are brought back together after one of their old friends, Tom dies in a terrorist attack (yep you read that right a terrorist attack). As usual (or in her most recent novels) Jane Green has way too many characters going through turmoil constantly that does not allow the reader to really engage with any of them. The characters: Holly, (who I think Green wants to portray as the main heroine) a mother of two, ...

I could not get through chapter 2 of this book, until I wanted to throw it into the firey pit and never buy another Jane Green book. I would've ... Read More Rating: - Second ChanceIt has a lot of talk around the topics of men, marriage, sex, make-up, clothes, best friends, affairs, gossip, and kids. I did not know what I was getting myself into because this is the first book I have read by Jane Green. I am disappointed. Rating:  - Simply AmazingThis book is amazing. I have never heard of Jane Green prior to reading this book and I am in love with her literature. This book helps you realize how friendship is an amazing blessing in anyones life. Rating:  - Smells like the Big ChillI was so disappointed with "Second Chances". I have loved many of Jane Green's books, escaping to the funny world of her protagonists and transporting myself back to England. The character's were flat and the circumstances in the book seemed a photocopy of the Big Chill. Within the first chapter, I could not wait to get the book over with as this scenario has been done many times and I kept expecting a new twist. Hope better for the next one. |
