Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: This was a pleasant, readable book.

It has a little bit of everything: mystery, romance, science fiction, cold war spying.

I read it on the train, which it seemed perfect for, something to do that doesn't take up much space and keeps you quiet.

It does drag a bit in some places, though.

Some of the insights into how the cold war has evolved into modern international relations are intriguing.

The ending has a nice twist, but I won't tell you what it is.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Real Disappointed
Review: This was Ms. McCall at her very worst. A man is murdered in New York that had already been dead for thirty years, of course the FBI is called in and as this weak mystery unfolds the plot only gets worst. DNA cloning from people already dead to create the perfect child would have been interesting if it was developed, and I could not understand the cloning of the main character, whose DNA was used for her, it did not make sense. The romanance is cold and the ending is unreal. Do not buy this book, I suggest you skip it and hope her next book is better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2.5 stars. Good, but not worth full price
Review: Well, after reading good reviews for this book, I bought it hoping for the best. And was disappointed to find a story with a weak female character, sexual tension and attraction that is non-existent between characters who supposedly fall in love, and a ludacrious ending that had me sitting back in my chair going, "What?!?" WHITE MOUNTAIN starts off strong, but the lack of character in Isabella and the secrets revealed at the end are a joke. Don't get me wrong, the idea/concept is great, but the final product left something to be desired.
McCall's STORM WARNING is a beach book worth the effort. Get it instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: White Mountain
Review: White Mountain by Dinah McCall is an excellent must read. It leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen to the characters. When my boss handed it to me to read at work, I was sure that I wouldn't care for it but it was fantastic. And I am so glad that it had a happy ending where two people found each other. It was well written and the part about the Indian had me guessing until the end. Excellent reading.
