(My husband compared the Tulip industry of this age to the internet rage of the late 90's??) Besides that, I got a little tired of the botanical love triangle between Cornelius, Rosa and the star of the show - the black tulip. I definitely liked The Count of Monte Christo better, both in writing style and story. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/267486?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
