Rating: Summary: Suprising...very good Review: first time to read a coulter book. i admit i was skeptical. very happy to be wrong!!! plot was okay but felt there was something you weren't being told about ramsey and molly. the feeling persisted throughout the book
Rating: Summary: Good suspense novel Review: I'm more of a fan of historical fiction like 'The Reader' or 'The Triumph and the Glory' than a Catherine Coulter type, but the plugs for the book caught my attention, the premise promised a suspenseful book and Coulter delivered big time. The novel is a real page-turner, the only flaw is a certain lack of originality.
Rating: Summary: Totally Awasome Review: I Loved this book. I read it in one day and was disappointed that it had to end. The relationship between Ramsey and Emma made my heart pound. This is truly one of Ms. Coulter's better books.
Rating: Summary: Boring, at the best..... Review: It was the first book I read from that author and it certainly will be the last. The plot is almost non-existant, the dialogues are unbelivable specially the ones involving the little girl, no children speaks or thinks like that and, above all, there is the romance, what is it with american female mystery authors? They seem to be unable to write a real thriller, they always have to add these sirupy romances. I read it till the end just to see if I was right about the guilty party, I was... a real deception.
Rating: Summary: awesome Review: I have read her many other books, The Cove and The Maze. This one is the best one yet. I read it in one day. I could'nt put it down. Ramsey and Emmas relationship made my heart pound. This one is a keeper. I was sorry that it had to end
Rating: Summary: Probably the last Coulter novel I'll read Review: This book was really a dissapointment to me. The characters were unbeleivable, the plot was predictable (yes I figured it out early on) and the romance between the judge and molly fizzled (I found myself skipping over the love scenes) I was impatient to finish this book, very syrupy, the ending was an even bigger dissapointment, it seemed like the author got tired of writing, the whole thing seemed veeeeery drawn out until the last 20 pages. Then everything was wrapped up amazingly fast! Don't waste your money, if you must read this borrow from a friend or go to the library
Rating: Summary: politically correct language Review: Just thought I would let you know I did enjoy the book but found the writing to be little upsetting. I refer to a passage in the last part of the book when the characters are in Ireland. You refer to one of the characters as sitting "Indian style". As a preservice teacher who has encountered many Native American and Native Canadian students in my work experience, I find that term distasteful. How hard is it to refer to someone sitting crosslegged or scissor style? I just think you could have been more careful in the selection of language you used.
Rating: Summary: This book inspires me to become a novelist Review: I bought this book as a "beach" read, something to pass the time, with no prior knowledge of this author. It boasted "New York Times Bestseller" on the cover, which is one reason why I bought it. It can't be that bad, I thought, if it's a bestseller. I was in for a big surprise! This book, with its unbelievable characters,unrealistic dialogue,poor plot development, and just plain poor writing, was a bestseller? It's frightening, when you think about it. I have definitely overestimated the intelligence of the American reading public. What a sad commentary that such a book can become a bestseller.
Rating: Summary: a good book Review: This was the first book of this author that I have read, and I enjoyed it a great deal. I think the suspense of finding who hurt Emma is the key part of the story, less than the relationship between her mother and rescuer, which is how it should be. I just wish she had gone into more detail about how the Eve situation got resolved, and about her relationship with her father. But it's nice to see a strong female character, and I enjoyed the adventure and suspence in this book.
