Summary: Confusing, but fun
Review: The book starts out very well, but twists in the middle. The ending makes you want to flip back to the front to see which twin was doing what, and which one was actually killed. It makes really intense reading, and although a little confusing, it evens out in the end when the guy gets the girl that he fell in love with in the beginning. Halfway through the book, you think that the hero is a cad for loving one sister and then loving the other.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I've been a big fan of Sandra Brown since her Harlequin days and was thrilled when she started writing romance/mysteries. However, I have been very disappointed in her last 3 books so I looked forward to reading The Switch hoping for a change. I am still disappointed. Although it had all the prerequisites for a good story I felt it lacked depth. We really never get to know the characters despite all the soul searching they seem to go through. I also found the resolution somewhat trite.

Overall a disappointing read. If you must read all her books, wait for the paperback!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than The Alibi
Review: This was my second Sandra Brown. I didn't think it could get any better after The Alibi, but this tops it. The plot was full of twists and characters that you love and others that you love to hate. This book was responsible for a lot of lost sleep. The romance aspect was perfect - not too much, just enough to compliment the fabulous plot. A definite must-read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A really good tale!
Review: This was another super effort by one of my favorite authors, several characters I enjoyed and would like to see again. Interesting plot twist keeps you guessing too!How does she keep coming up with these winners? Thanks Sandra. Robin

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good But I Have Read Better
Review: Don't get me wrong I like Sandra Brown Switch but not like other books like Alibi,Witness, Exclusive was much better. ending was good but twins switch was too easy. But I will continue to be a Sandra Brown fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Was it Selena; was it Gillian
Review: Selena and Gillian were identical twins whose own parents had trouble telling them apart. In school they switched places as a lark. As adults a switch turned deadly when Selena convinces Gillian to go out with Christopher Hart (Chief)The bad guy is a manipulator who fancies himself the head of the New World Order...a Jimmy Swaggart type televangalist. You know a lot of answers early in the story, getting them in the right order by the end makes for a good suspense story and a plan to get back to the book after each interruption.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Who edited this book?
Review: I just received this book in the mail a couple days ago, and I'm a little more than halfway through it. I've never read any other books by Sandra Brown, and so far, the storyline in this one is pretty good. As an English major, what bothers me the most is the amount of grammatical and typographical errors I've found in this book. I'll admit to being slightly obsessive when it comes to grammar, but it drives me crazy to know that editors are being paid to not edit a book. The Switch is a good book, though, once you get past the grammar check. :)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The Switch
Review: I usually read Ms Brown's novels in one or two days. Just for weekend entertainment. This book read as quickly as the others but felt wanting.

This book is not nearly up to the par of "The Alibi". I don't feel that the plot was very firmly developed. The resolution came too quickly and felt 'thrown together'. The character development was shallow. The 'twist' ending was entertaining however.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: Being a fourth year English major, I had wanted to take a break from literature and read a trashy novel. So I turned to Sandra Brown's latest, "The Switch." Having read an excerpt of the first chapter, I was intrigued by it and got the book. Only to be disappointed. Never in an SB novel have I seen such underdeveloped characters. The relationship between the sisters was portrayed so briefly--we are only TOLD but not very well SHOWN that they are extremely close. I think their relationship should have been shaped more richly. And the brief romance between Chief and Gillian hardly led me to believe they were in love--that subject is vague, as well. And Melina, to me, is a carbon copy of many Sandra Brown characters she has written about. She was a caricature, not a character, not someone that I felt was three dimensional or well fleshed out. And the plot fell apart as soon as the murder occured, it wasn't exciting anymore. And the Brother Gabriel plot was so far fetched I laughed when I was supposed to be taking it seriously. Thank God I got this book for 99 cents at the Doubleday book club!
