Summary: This book pumped my heart right out of me and kept me smilin
Review: I do not get many chances to read these hardcover novels, but when I picked this one up, I could not let go. This book kept my interest through the whole investigation. One complaint, I found the chase scene at the end a little hard to swallow. Please e-mail me with your thoughts!

Summary: Leaves you with a big "SO WHAT?"
Review: I found the book so unoriginal and predictable that it really didn't hold my interest. Characters were so predictable it was laughable. Even if the idea wasn't original, at least the author could have made it interesting, but he glosses over so many key details, and lingers painfully long on the unimportant, you wonder what's going on. The ending was so anti-climatic due to the failure to keep you in suspense, you're relieved when the book if finally over. I think the author needs to really refine his storytelling skills before trying another.

Summary: A great colossal bore
Review: I guess these kinds of thrillers are a dime a dozen. Very little original here. The characters are wooden imitations of the real thing, and that in itself isn't the big shortcoming--its their poor development that makes the book such a bore. Of course, the heroine would be smart, cold, and great looking. Of course the hero would be a maverick, bitter with the world. Of course the villain would be hiding some nefarious secret. The sex scenes seemed so juvenile, I wonder what the author was trying to do. Ending was painfully long and overdrawn.

Summary: i thought it was great
Review: i loved it, it was kind or sci-fi future stuff but it was good. Some parts were just alright and some were downright out there, if u know what i mean. but in the end i would recommend it to friends

Summary: it was absolutely terrific
Review: I loved the Reaper. The characters had personaltities that went right along with the plot. I love genetic novels, and this was one of the best. it is second only to Mount Dragon by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. If you thought this book was good, you should read that!

Summary: As hollow as an empty cereal box
Review: I picked up Reaper knowing what I was getting into ... a technothriller not a literary classic. Still, even the wildest plot line needs some semblance of logic. Here the two "ordinary" people who are the main characters possess every ability known to man: brains, athleticism; plus knowledge of medicine, science, computer technology and criminal techniques. I'm surprised they didn't build their own cars from twigs and tape. And I think the chase scene at the end may still be going on. There are some interesting scientific concepts here if you can fight through the papier mache characters to get to them. It was a disappointing book ... probably because it was a really a screenplay.

Summary: Good Book
Review: I really liked this book. Although it could be "way out there" at times, it stayed pretty much down-to-earth. It is a good book considering the vast and wide-spreading genre. I wouldn't rank it in the top 10 of it's genre, but definitely in the top 50. Go out and grab this book if you have some spare reading time and don;t know what to read. Other than that, don't make any special plans to read it because it is just another book to evenly define the genre. Despite all this, I still liked the book!
