I liked this book for the way the elements reminded me of the Romantic era - nature and emotion. The idea of communicating messages through flowers and meanings really appealed to me in general but I liked how it showed the protagonist's development and growth; from thistle (misanthropy) to moss (ma...
I must admit to the reader of this review that this book didn't immediately hook me. In fact, I almost gave up on it because I found the reference to the meaning of flowers really annoying for some reason. I pushed through that though and focused on the story underneath and the book was really quite...
When I bought this book, I was expecting a very victorianesque book with alot of discussion on the meanings of flowers, and maybe even a little of the magical elements that are found in so many of today's books. That was not what this book was at all. What I found was a great modern day story abou...
This one really captivated me. It is fairly short, and I would have just sat and read the whole thing except I started the day of our Christmas party and didn't have time. It drove me nuts to not be able to get back to it until the next day, so that is a pretty sure sign of a good book....
It was interesting to read The Language of Flowers so close to reading Pollyanna. The central character of The Language of Flowers, Victoria, like Pollyanna, is an orphan, but that is the only way Victoria and Pollyanna are alike. Victoria is a wild animal, a child who has spent her life going from ...
If you are like me, I tend to start new books feeling decidedly torn. On the one hand, the possibility that it will be a book for the ages is a seduction all on its own. On the other hand, there is always the fear of harboring too high expectations because so many books fail to live up to them. The ...
The elegantly worded The Language of Flowers made me invest quite a lot during the first chapters, but gambled all my affection away later on. I will try to explain how this unceremonious drop around the middle of the story came to pass after introducing Victoria to you. There is nothing victorious ...
2 seems low, but I just didn't like it. I loved the premise, and the flower language, and the very beginning, but then it just got so bogged down with contrivances, ugh. Plus the heroine was probably MORE awful and LESS redeeming by the end. All the stuff with the baby made my blood boil. The plot...
4.5/5First of all, UK cover rocks! It's so apt as well which you would know if you read the story. I fell in love with this book because of its topic, - flowers. Blame my ex-florist hubby for that. I'm absolutely obsessed with flowers.The Language of Flowers is all you want it to be and more - beaut...
I generally avoid books set in the modern U.S., and when I read them I don’t like them. This book is an exception.The Language of Flowers tells the story of Victoria Jones, who’s emancipated from the foster care system at age 18--with no friends, no money, no work experience and nowhere to go. (Fort...
