I COULDNT STOP READING.. yup its THAT GOOD!!

I read this book for my english class and I'm so glad I did because I would have never read it and known what the story was if it was given as a class requirement. The story actually made it to my favorite book list and its so amusing how Eliza and Tao care for each other. It was pretty weird how Eliza had to dress up as a boy, I would think that it would be pretty insulting if people actually fell for it. so I thought that part was pretty funny. I also got to learn more about the history of San Francisco during the gold fever and learned some legends that I have never heard before like the one of Joaquin Murrieta and the three finger Jack. It's pretty interesting how the ending turned out to be. I kinda had the feeling that their the same person but i couldn't find the connection so I let go of my assumption.

Daughter of Fortune Review

I think this is a great book that takes you on a great adventure. I enjoyed how the author would pull you into the book. You could start from any part of this book and not take your eyes off until you were finished. I like books with adventure, especially this one because the things that Eliza and Tao experienced together were things that really happened at that time period. I never imagined myself reading any historical fiction books but now that has changed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction books because it will be a book that will always stay with you.

My Personal Review

Daughter of Fortune is one of the best historical fiction novels I have read. The book was relatively easy to understand yet was so well written it really touched me. For example, the scene about what life was like back then for women. I thought it was as if I was there, watching the story unfold, experiencing it. I would recommend this book to everyone because it's a story you can learn from. Allende bases the story on a historical time period that will always be there to remind us what it was like to live as a woman then and how much they had to risk.

Good and not good. Fascinating at the expense of what? cohesiveness - thrust - direction. At times seemed padded, yet I liked it. An enormous amount of research, but it did show. I could feel her writing.

A Real Story!

This is what you call a real book. Isabel Allende is a great author. This book has great discription that really lets you have a feel for the time period. All the characters intertwine with each other making the story all the more interesting. Daughter of Fortune is a very good book, there is never a dull moment. It really gives a great picture of SanFransico in the 1840's and how it came around to the way it is today. This book does a great job of showing the differences in the way people and their ethnicities were portrayed at in the 1840's. This book is definetly worth reading every page. This book isn't just like a regular historical novel, it has tragedy, love, and fortune. Beilive me you will be very glad that you read this book.
