I was quite surprised that I liked it. Although I wish the author had made Sydney a bit older. <BR/><BR/>I agree with tammy and I could see the Syd we love from the show start to emerge. Yeah, a bit naive and her falling for Noah most likely her first true love.<BR/><BR/>I have a soft spot for Noah. :) Syd needed someone to be perfectly honest with her and she got that with Noah. Older and definitely someone she could learn from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17309641.post-1151591123975177502006-06-29T07:25:00.000-07:002006-06-29T07:25:00.000-07:00I agree that the plot is flimsy, and the book is r...I agree that the plot is flimsy, and the book is rather stilted, but I liked it none-the-less. Sydney gained confidence throughout and I could see the Syd we know and love from the show starting to emerge. <BR/><BR/>Noah is a strange character. There is obviously an instant attraction between him and Sydney. He doesn't treat her very well initially. I'm not sure I understand why she fell for him. And I have to wonder, was he already the "bad guy" at this point in the story? When did he become the "snowman"? <BR/><BR/>Nice review!!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191587599115454722noreply@blogger.com
