Rating: Summary: Three Fates one of Her Best! Review: I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. There are so many threads running through this book and she ties them all neatly up at the end. This is one of those books that you say "I'll read ONE more chapter, then go to sleep"...over and over! You will LOVE all the characters-and they are SO varied!!
Rating: Summary: Roberts Continues to Amaze! Review: Nora Roberts has outdone herself yet again... as in Montana Sky and The Born in Ice, Fire, Shame trilogy, she has written the story of siblings in a convincing, entertaining, loving way that not only keeps your interest but captures your heart.Roberts had a knack with tales if Irish origin, and it was nice to see her return to that influence in her latest novel. With so many re-releases of her earlier work, it is easier each day to see how Roberts' skill has inproved and her scope broadened. She is much more than a romance writer. She's a marvel.
Rating: Summary: Great theme and idea. Good book. Review: A good story, nice theme and idea. Strong characters. I really did like the book, as it was the first Nora Roberts I read. But now that I've read her others, I really think that she didn't quite pour all of herself into it. Still, the plot was excellent, settings were great, and the whole idea behind the Three Fates statues uniting the characters in "fate" as it was really played a nice touch. The only thing I thought went a little extreme was it was rather graphic. Otherwise, it was a great read. I do recommend this book to someone interested in a read with adventure, history (even if its fiction), and romance. Cheers.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: This is an excellent book! Definitely Nora Roberts at her very best - great adventure, great romance, snappy dialogue, great story...!
Rating: Summary: Fun! Fun! Fun! Review: This book is a definate page turner. Although it is not her best work, it is kept me guessing right until the end. The characters in this book are very different and a lot of fun to get to know. I like the plot and the suspense, but was disapointed that some of the relationships of the characters weren't as deep as in some of her other books. All in all, a very entertaining read. I highly recommend this book as all of her books that I have read so far. I think her novels and trilogies are a lot of fun! I always can't wait for something new from her. I read her books to go to another place and time. She never dissapoints me. This book was a lot of fun!
Rating: Summary: Too Complicated Review: I stop reading about 1/2 way through the book. I believe this is a good read for those who like complex plots,numerous characters,many angles to the plot going on at once,etc. Call me "simple minded" but I could not keep up with what was going on. Maybe if I had read the book in longer sittings, I may have been able to follow the story better. I have a tendency to read in short sittings, gathering just a small amount of information at the time.
Rating: Summary: A disappointing addition to Nora's body of work Review: Three Fates had the capability to be a fine book, however it reads as a jagged outline. The characters do not have the usual full development that I expect from a book by Nora Roberts. The pacing & plotting are out of step and the usual depth of imagery is missing. The potential is there, however I would call this book a first draft manuscript & ask the editor for the revisions to smooth out the storyline. I will continue to buy Nora's books but I have to say that this particular book was born to soon. It misses the mark for fully realized characters & easy transitions from place to place. I was never able to be swept into the story fully, a trait I have come to expect from a novel by Nora.
Rating: Summary: Not her worst, but not her best either Review: Nora is very capable of making three relationships into one book very credible, a la The Villa, but Three Fates didn't live up to that expectation. It had an absolutely great storyline, but the story itself wasn't her best told. Although Three Fates is wildy incredible in every aspects, the rushness of it was not easy to follow, and the dialogues seemed different from Nora. Hope Chesapeake Blue is going to good.
Rating: Summary: Not a fast read. Review: This was a good NR book. However it was very slow. I normally love her books and read them in a day. This one took me a week. It started slow and then in the end it picked up and got good. Not one of her best but would not advise to miss it.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Review: What a great story from Nora Roberts! Loved the characters and couldn't put it down. Great summer read. Also check out Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin - WOW!
