Rating: Summary: A marvelous book, certainly keeps one in suspense. Review: Ms. Clark outdid herself on this one. The main character, Dr. Susan Chandler, would be the type of person you'd like to know. Her talk show "Ask Dr. Chandler" keeps her busy as well as her private practice. Her previous position working for the District Attorney certainly adds clout. I was certainly surprised to find out "who done it" and the reasons that this person "did it". I truly loved the suspense, and Ms. Clark deserves more than 5 stars for this book.
Rating: Summary: horrid- disjonted- no true flow Review: This book plot was filled with too many distractions-to many subplots and not enough real story-there was not a clear line between the main charater and the killer. This book and the Gotti book I'll be watching you are almost alike. The only differance is that Gotti has clearer subplots - the Gotti's book is almost a rewrite of this book. Between the two books for enjoyablity the Gotti book is better. But she (Gotti) had a guide to follow.
Rating: Summary: There is unchallenging... and there is just plain BAD Review: And this is just plain bad, believe me. I don't know if MHC once had a flair for words, or plots, or characters, or dialogue. But if so, she's certainly lost it now. Good writing surely takes WORK, and she just isn't doing it. If you don't believe me just read that first chapter for free...
Rating: Summary: MHC could've made it better... Review: Well, I was very excited to get this book in the first place, but I'm just a bit disappointed. The plot was excellent, the characters will a bit hokey, but good none-the-less, and the story line proceeded at a fast pace. But the main problem was when you found out who the bad guy was. When you find out who it is, you kind of feel like, "Duh! Of course it could've been him!" The bad guy is SUPPOSED to be the one who is least expected! If you like Mary Clark, you might want to read this one, just for the fun of it; but she has written better.
Rating: Summary: Women Beware! A charming but deadly prowler is on the loose! Review: Mary Higgins Clark's latest thriller, You Belong to Me, will send chills hurdling down your spine! If you like to travel alone, Clark's book will make you think twice about the people you meet while on vacation. You won't be able to put this book down until the very end!
Rating: Summary: Worst book I've read in a long time. Review: This is the first book I've read by MHC and most definitely the last. Fortuneately, I had the Reader's Digest version. Quite frankly I can't imagine having to read through any more pages of garbage than what I had. Not only was the plot predictable, but the characters were completely ignorant. The dialogue was ludicrous. The author creates ridiculous situations for the characters to be in so she can wrap up the plot so very nicely at the end. It was infuriating that the most annoyingly, despicable character, Susan Chandler, should live, while just about every other character has died or will die. There is no evidence of character development; although, one-dimensional characters fit perfectly into this weak, contrived story. In addition, I have yet to derive any logical solution as to why the antagonist has set out on his mission, even after we get the lame background involving his mother-in-law.
Rating: Summary: Ms. Clark Sr., is a class act; great new book! Review: Mary Higgins Clark is a winner. Usually the classic writers who are working on their 10+ book, lose some pep and vigor in their newer works. I am glad to say that Ms. Clark, Sr., hasn't missed a beat. Her characters are clear, I like the suspense of "which of the men characters are the real bad guy?" I liked the characterization of the competition between Dr. Chandler and her sister. I felt the pain of Dr. Chandler's mother after being jilted for "Binky." That was a great touch! I could see the whole thing unfolding. I like the Mother of Rachel, the rich woman who was dying and wanted to know what had happened to her only child. This story has wonderfully engaging sub-plots and underlying theories. Great Read. Quick Read. I finished in 2 days of solid late night reading. Looking forward to the next one!
Rating: Summary: enjoyable Review: I think this book is one of Mary Haggins Clark's best writen books every. Lots of details was in it. If you like books like this i tell you to buy this one.
Rating: Summary: This book was mind thrilling! Review: I loved this book. You would begin to think it him then it was him then oh no it's HIM!!!!!! Every single step of the way I was almost trying to solve the book too!
Rating: Summary: typical clark Review: and interesting, as usual . . . perhaps a few too many characters, but overall, if you like author, you will like this book.
