Summary: What a dumb book.
Review: I got the book-on-tape of this stinker from my library (I have a long commute to work). I'm glad I didn't pay money for this. What struck me first were the dumb character names...Unique and Windy Breeze...God...

Secondly, I am fairly certain that anyone that has brains enough to hold down a secretarial job is not going to screw up EVERY cliche'.

Dumb, dumb, dumb...oh so very dumb.

Pat really missed the ship with this one...

Summary: Isle of Dogs
Review: I am a huge Cornwell fan. I have read every book she has written and liked them all - even Jack the Ripper, but I can't even finish this one. The style is not one I enjoy and the story has not yet grabbed me 4 chapters into the book. I'm putting it in the garage sale pile. I hope someone else enjoys it better than I. Please Patricia ... I know Kay is boring to you after all these year, but we love her.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: i have to defend this book
Review: It shocked me to see such horrible reviews of this book. However, I haven't read any other Patricia Cornwell books, so I had no preconceived notions or expectations. Her loyal readers seem to hate this book, but I thought it was hilarious. I did find some of the violence a bit much and slightly bothersome, but it did not keep me from enjoying the rest of the story. If you like Carl Hiaasen, Michael Malone (Handling Sin), Christopher Buckley, you will enjoy this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I am so surprised!
Review: What a big disappointment! Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite authors, so to go on a camping trip with a brand new book by her was something to look forward to. I couldn't even finish the book, though I tried, day after day. I finally just gave up. I would NOT recommend this book to anyone!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Patricia"s Worst
Review: Ms. Cornwell must have employed an amateur ghost writer for this
novel. The characters were amazingly shallow. This was not black humor but rather tired slapstip

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please say someone else wrote this!
Review: I love her other books and I think this must have been someone else writing under her name. It was the worst things I have ever tried to read. I could not force myself to finish. I tried and tried and it has beaten me. Maybe the next will be a return of the real Patricia Cornwell we know and love.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I would have pitched this in the garbage, but I borrowed it.
Review: I am insulted. I have read bad books by well known authors, but this is the worst. She should stick to writing about Dr. Kay Scarpetta, even though those are diminishing in quality too. Do your friends a favor, don't loan it to them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a HUGE Disappointment!
Review: This book [is really bad.] I could hardly get through it because it's so scattered and a thumping bore. I think this book only made it to publishing because of the author's reputation. I want a refund!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: To think I paid Money for this book
Review: I just wanted to say that I bought this book because I have enjoyed all the others that she wrote. However, I think that it was one of the worst books that I have ever read, I do not like talking animals or fish. At least it taught me a lesson not to judge a book by its author.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Whatever was she thinking?????
Review: I cannot express my extreme disappointment in this book. It was so bad that I could not even finish it and just threw it in the garbage! What mindless, incoherent drivel. Obviously after chasing Jack the Ripper, Ms. Cornwell felt she had to get another book out and this was it. I hated everything about it, expecially Andy and his stupid website!!! I want my money back!!
