The Target (Bookcassette(r) Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Just Plain Boring
Review: I am a voracious reader and make it a habit to always finish a book; however, with this one it was a real EFFORT. Unlike others who have reviewed this book, I found it lacking in suspense, found the characters unbelievable (what child talks the way Emma did) and uninteresting. I doubt I will be reading anything further by C. Coulter.

Rating:
Summary: My first and last Coulter novel
Review: A thoroughly unbelievable plot. A six-year old who thinks, speaks and behaves as an adult. Adults who act like children. A transvestite laptop?! FBI agents who can pick up an investigation on a whim? This was one of the worst reads I have ever had. Thank goodness, I bought the paperback version.

Rating:
Summary: has a lot of potential
Review: I really liked Ms. Coulter's books in general but The Target left me feeling unsatisfied. It seems that Ramsey could have Emma without Molly and still be happy. And the ending felt rushed in that after all that suspence everything was resolved ASAP. Ms. Coulter could have done more with the rest of the supporting charaters, and the love scenes felt liked it was just an afterthought, plunked right down near the end. But the redeeming quality was that there were certain scenes that was very witty and funny.

Rating:
Summary: I really like it.
Review: I like the book. Although I somewhat agree with some of the negative reviews, I still like the book. The suspense was good and it really had me guessing as to the real purpose behind the kidnap of the little girl. The judge reminds me of the judge in the TV series Dark Justice.

Rating:
Summary: Not One of Her Best
Review: The Cove and the Maze were so much better. This was a good at the beginning. Interesting, lots of twists, not predictable ... but then everything went south - instead of a suspense, she turned it into a romance. I'm sorry, nobody falls in love with a complete stranger in a couple of days and decides to get married and life is wonderful especially when people have been trying to kill you, kidnapped your child, etc. I am disappointed

Summary: Reader from San Diego
Review: I liked this book. All the characters were interesting enough to keep me reading till the end. Read it in one day! She could have gone on more about Eve but its ok. Great book!

Summary: So bad I had to keep putting it down!!
Review: First of all, if this is one of Catherine Coulter's "best" novels, it will be the only one I ever read. I found the character, Ramsey, to be especially unbelievable. He was one minute a strong, macho man--and then the next a man who wanted french-braiding lessons PLEASE!!!!!! I had trouble finishing this book because it was so ridiculous!

Rating:
Summary: Dull . . .
Review: This will be the first and only Coultier novel I read. I was anticipating great suspense and romance rolled into one. The suspense was so-so, a bit on the predictable. The romance? dull. I've never read love scenes that have left me so flat before. It may be her style but in writing the love scenes it seemed as though a man had written them . . . no romance or finesse. I had high hopes for finding a new author, but have been greatly disappointed.

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic reading.
Review: A wonderful book full of twists and mystery! I lost myself in this one

Rating:
Summary: Read it over and over
Review: I have read The Cove, The Maze, and The Target. I have really enjoyed all of them. I couldn't put The Target down. I rarely read books more than once but found myself reading this book 3 times. The book gave me chills. I saw Ms. Coulter's new book "The Edge" the other day and can't wait to read it. I find her stories amazing. For me I see them as not typical romance novels. That is why I probably enjoy them so much. Keep up the good work Ms. Coulter and I can't wait to read The Edge.
