Rating: Summary: Not as good as 'Eye Contact' Review: After reading Stephen Collins' 'Eye Contact', which I thought was fabulous, I was so excited when I finally got my hands on 'Double Exposure'. I enjoyed the book until the last 1/3, when I decided the plot was getting a bit unrealistic and silly. I also felt like Mr. Collins speed wrote the ending just to get the manuscript off to the printer!
Rating: Summary: A wonderfully sexy, exciting psychological thriller Review: Stephen Collins' new novel "Double Exposure" is a superbly written page turner. With perfect aim Collins goes straight to the heart of the varied characters he introduces throughout the story. The emotional core lies in Joe McBride, a rather seasoned TV critic and his relationships with everyone from past and present lovers to his co-workers, to his mother and then some. With eroticism and suspense, Collins excels with his carefully crafted details. The writer also maintains a firm grasp of the characters psyches, many of whom intersect in an intriguing and often nail biting manner. It isn't only the suspense that keeps the reader captivated, but Collins' display of the lurking and complex psychology of the characters. What sets "Double Exposure" apart from other suspense novels and what makes it most memorable is Collins' understanding of people and the underlying traits of human nature that many of us all too often deny. Stephen Collins offers us a mirror of the mind---a reflection that is not something we expect. All in all, there is an eager vitality in Collins' writing which makes for a thoroughly satisfying read.
Rating: Summary: Suspenseful, sexy and a fun read. Review: Stephen Collins' new novel Double Exposure is a sexy page turner. Joe McBride,the TV critic, seems to lose control of his life as events derail his plans. He gets so caught up in his obsession with his enigmatic neighbor, Amy Goode, that he seemingly loses all reason. The story becomes almost unbearably poignant when his daughter is kidnapped. And,just when you think the story is over, it's not. What it lacks in character development is made up in plot complexity. A definite fun read for the beach this summer.
Rating: Summary: Exciting! Review: Thrilling and alluring! There is a new twist with every turn of the page. This book is even better than his last one! I can't wait for his next book.
