Rating:  Summary: Go Joy Fielding! Review: "Good Intentions" put me off Joy Fielding for a while, but this book gives us back exactly what we want - mystery, tension, confusion and revenge!! Now let me tell you, there seem to be a few common themes in Ms. Fielding's novels - there's the attractive and reputable, but emotionally abusive husband, who makes everyone, including his loyal wife, believe she is CRAZY. Then you've got the sense of just how true the devotion of a Mother to her child/children is. Not to mention that you always "just have to read one more page". This story makes you realise how terrifying it would be to have amnesia and sets you into a spiral of confusion and fear. You wonder, along with Jane Whittaker, who is lying, who is telling the truth, and whether or not she is in fact, caught in the middle of some huge conspiracy. I suspected a couple of things before they actually happened, but overall, this story was full of suspense and written in a great, readable style. I can't wait to read the next one!
Rating:  Summary: Another superb Fielding book! Review: I am hooked. Joy Fielding has a fan in me ~~ this must be the fourth book I've read of hers and I've yet to be disappointed in her writing! What a fun novel this is ~~ and it starts out with a bang and ends with a bang ~~ it's just a fun novel to read. Just prepare yourself for an afternoon of suspense. Jane comes to and doesn't know who she is. All she knows is that she has blood on the front of her dress and she has thousands of dollars in her pockets but she doesn't know her name, nor does she know what she likes. She has no memory of who she is. And why she was standing alone on the busy streets of Boston. Amnesia. A scary psychological disorder ~~ and when she turned herself into the police, they sent her to the hospital and one of the psychologists on staff told her that something really stressful must have happened to her to block out who she is. Jane's husband rescues her ~~ and Jane tenetatively explores her life again ~~ trying to figure out who she is and why she has lost her memory but she ends up being drugged. And the story keeps getting more suspenseful ~~ you know something is going to happen, but just not what. It's great! And Fielding keeps you enthralled as you turn every page. If you are looking for a good read to sink into ~~ this book is it. Just be prepared not to have the ability to put the book down ~~ you won't be able to till the last page is turned. It's a great mystery and very suspenseful. Fielding has yet to disappoint me! 2-25-03
Rating:  Summary: Can't put the book down Review: I could not put the book down! This is my third book by Joy Fielding and she out did herself with this one. The story keeps the reader interested and the story moving. Joy Fielding also keeps you in suspense with a surprise ending. I highly recommend reading this book as well as Whispers and Lies.
Rating:  Summary: AWESOME!! Review: I could not put this book down. Just when you think you know what happens next, you find out you're totally wrong and you just can't stop reading until you see what happens. GREAT READ!!
Rating:  Summary: A good read Review: I enjoyed the storyline, and was in suspense right through until the end! I do, however, think Fielding made the book longer than necessary to tell the story.

She read it years ago and still remembers it. I LOVED it. I couldn'put it down. Great suspense book. I found myself stealing time here and there away from the kids to read a chapter --tee-hee! "Honey, I'lll be right down. I have to do something!!" THat's what I told my husband :-)

Rating:  Summary: This Book Has It All! Review: Like many readers, I was captured after the first sentence. There is something around every little corner, thus making it difficult to put down! It's smart, suspenseful, and engaging. You have no idea what lies next for Jane, who has lost her identity. Fielding gives very little away, but just enough to keep you behind Jane & her gut instinct in finding the real truth! I was not expecting the outcome at all.
I also recommend reading Fielding's "Whispers & Lies". Another good one!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderfully Written-Makes You Feel Anxiety! Review: This book was hard to put down and it made you wonder what kind of horrors were going to happen next. To start with, Jane was running around with only a bloody coat ona dn $10,000 in her purse. She didn't even know her name,or what was going on. Desparate for answers, she finally goes to the police and they take her into a hospital, not finding her guilty of any crime. After running tests, they can come up with no answers as to why she'sost her entire memory. The figured it had to be a severe trauma. Her doctor-husband comes to take her home where the horrors and nightmares begin. He keeps her drugged up, and Jane doesn't know why he doesn't want her to know what happened. As she finds a path to escape, and her memory starts to clear inher head, the real horrors will begin! I give this book an A+!
