Review: Entertaining, Twisty, Plot
Rating: 4 out of 5

I agree with others in that the unique character of this book is found in the twists and turns of the plot, and the cliff-hanging uncertainty of the "true loves."  Just when we think we've found the hero, a new hero appears on the horizon - by the time the gentleman on the bicycle appeared I knew we were in for more!The story is light, fun, a little slow for modern tastes, but I did get a kick out of certain phrases which demonstrated that these books were a little titillating - example:  there was more cloth used in her blouse than in her narrow skirt (paraphrase).  Does that mean the lady was "chesty?"I was delighted with the plot twists - so like the twists and turns of the old silent movie serials?  I truly enjoyed the imagination of the author to create a logical, but unanticipated sequence of events.and the final love story was lovely - soft and gentle -Note:  As other stated, one does have to excuse the stereotypes of the times - they are hurtful - but no different from the stereotypes found in so many earlier works, including Walt Disney, Mark Twain, Zane Grey, Shakespeare, et. al.)
