Rating: Summary: Clark a fun author Review: Most of you people didn't even get it! Carol is not trying to be like her mother and shouldn't and doesn't deserve to be compared to her mother. They write totally different. Carol is an entertaining author with a good grasp on mixing humor and mystery. Not all mystery has to be deep, dark and foreboding and Carol is not trying to be. She writes well and Twanged is a great new edition to her Regan Reilly series. I caught myself snickering a lot. It is a thoroughly enjoyable good read and a welcome change from more serious fare and those who think it was bad or juvenile just don't know how to enjoy a funny book. Go back to reading something dark and gory and let the rest of us have fun.
Rating: Summary: Not very engrossing! Review: My favorite author is Carol's, Mary Higgins Clark. There is no comparison at all between them. When I read (and I have read them ALL) Mary's books, I can't wait to get to the next chapter; I am on the edge of my seat. Carol's books are more boring, especially this one. I couldn't wait to finish it just because I thought it might get more interesting, not because of an engrossing plot. Another review said it best, it should be for a young child to read.
Rating: Summary: simply awful Review: simply awful audio. the reading was appropriate to a children's story hour. ms. clark, having a high-pitched voice to begin with, alters it for the different characters so that all the male protagonists, including one meant to be a threatening stalker, sound like a cross between the pillsbury dough boy and a chipmunk. the main male protagonist sounds like a moronic pre-teen. his home, described as a castle fit for an amusement park has a wooden deck - bizarre. if, as i presume, this abridged version is the highlights spare me from rest of the book.
Rating: Summary: A Waste of Time and Money Review: The worst book I can remember finishing (should have quit early on) and a waste of money for the person who gave it to me as a Christmas gift.
Rating: Summary: Great book--extremely enjoyable Review: This book is probably my favorite one out of the Regan Reilly mystery series. It's fun to read, has great characters, and good suspense at the end. I recommend this book (and all her others)!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Dreadful; immaturely written, juvenile plot! Review: This book never could have been published without the Higgins Clark surname. I have not encountered such drivel since I read as a child. In fact, an acquaintance who read the same book thought that perhaps it had been written for "young adults," however, I know of no teenager who would tolerate such inane dialog. I know I will never buy another. Grow up, Carol, and if there is a next time,try to write as an adult. Even the title is ludicrous!!
Rating: Summary: A waste of time and trees! Review: This is certainly the most horrible book I have read in a long time. The characters are dumb and not well developed, although who would want to develop such idiotic characters! I finished this book just to see what a moronic ending it would have. I was not disappointed. This is the first and last book by this author that I will read.
Rating: Summary: Full of humor. Review: This is not a serious whodunnit; it's a quick read that's full of laughs as the author pokes fun of some of the latest fads in our society. With a character called Peace Man and another into fen shui, you can't expect Shakespeare. Perfect to read at the beach.
Rating: Summary: I'd give it zero stars if I could. Read Rumpole instead. Review: This is perhaps the worst mystery book I have ever read. If I was told that it was written for a grade school audience, I would have no trouble believing it. I bought this book because the cover review blurb said something about a cozy full of eccentric characters. But if this is what you want, don't read this book. Instead, for eccentric characters and wonderful writing, read the Rumpole stories by John Mortimer.
Rating: Summary: funny and entertaining Review: Twanged is not as suspensful as it is humerous. The book is full of strange characters that make reading it fun and enjoyable I think that this book is worth reading although the plot doesn't get to exciting until the last three chapters.
