Whose Little Girl are You?

Rating:
Summary: A great suspenseful novel!
Review: Bethany Campbell's latest work, "Whose Little Girl Are You?" is a spectacular read! It is about a woman, Jaye Garrett, who is trying to find out who her biological parents are and her brother's biological parents are before he dies of bone marrow disease. They come across a group of people who will do anything to stop them too! Great work Bethany!

Summary: This is NOT a gentle read; interesting though...
Review: Heroine gets mixed up with shady character (whose thoughts about her could have been left unsaid) whilst looking for a donor match to save her brother's life. I sympathized with the portrayal of her mother. If you're looking for an exciting read, and don't mind vulgar references to urinating and lovemaking, go for it!

Summary: The worst book I have ever read and I read a lot
Review: How do I tell people not to read this when it had such good reviews. They had to be author or friends of the author because there was nothing good in the book. I was trashy and there was too much profanity. I like books that the author can control the language. I don't understand how you can even want the relationship to continue because he thinks stuff like "I was undressing her with my eyes" and "I want to f**k you". Isn't that the kind of guy you want to date? I don't think so. Well, you can waste your money on a bad book like this if you want to but I highly recommend that you don't

Summary: Excellent idea, terrible execution
Review: I don't know what book the other reviewers read, but it certainly wasn't this one. The premise is captivating: a woman discovers that her very ill brother really isn't her brother at all, and mom's not really mom, either. Her hunt for the truth and a donor with matching marrow type for her brother begins with a visit to a heavily insulated town where no one wants to talk, but where everyone wants to listen. From there, the action goes flat, and so does the style. I find it hard to accept a book as being craftily written when it has a line such as this: "His urine twinkled like jewels in the moonlight." Not only is the comparison ridiculous, it is nonessential to the setting, the plot, or even the character who's urinating. Another major fault with the book is the references the author makes to various pieces of the Deep South. It's not a well-kept secret that the prestigious university in Oxford, Mississippi is OLE MISS, yet the author foolishly refers to it as OLD MISS. Strike Two! Regional writing is very entertaining, indeed, but be sure that you actually know the details of the region when you refer to prominent places, people, etc. The main characters also make the obligatory stop in New Orleans, and of course, they manage to run into a Cajun airplane pilot. The pilot speaks Cajun French and is then nice enough to translate it for them. This is nonsense, as Cajuns will usually speak Cajun French only if they don't want you to know what they're saying. This book was written with disjointed scenery and references to things this author didn't spend any time researching. For such a great premise, I was truly surprised that this title was such a letdown. One star is too many.

Summary: Whose Little Girl Are You?
Review: I gave this book 1 star only because I actually read it through to the end. It was so poorly written that it became fascinating to read the descriptive passages. Dialogue was stilted and unbelievable, characters not developed, and a potentially great plot ruined. I've read thousands of books of all kinds, and this is the first one I've actually been so disappointed in that I had to vent.

Summary: This Book Got Me Out of a Reading Slump
Review: I literally could not put this book down. I started it in the early afternoon and finished in the wee hours of the next morning. Bethany Campbell was excellent at unfolding answers to the mystery surrounding the "adoption" of Jaye and her brother Patrick just a little at a time -- enough to keep the reader turning paces at a frantic pace! Campbell has created a feisty heroine in Jaye whose curiosity and determination nearly get her killed. Turner is a terrific hero even though he keeps a secret which could threaten his chance of happiness with Jaye. The minor characters of the residents of the town of Cawdor, Oklahoma were chillingly well-done - their evil permeating the pages. Highly recommended!

Summary: An All Time Favorite Read!
Review: I loved this book, from the scarey, mysterious first moments deep in the past to when, thirty years later, the feisty heroinie enters the scene! Jaye Garrett is determined to save her adopted brother's life. She has a difficult double job--unraveling what happened three decades ago--and trying to dodge the forces that don't want her to know anything at all. Like all good suspense books, there's more than thrills and chills at stake. The writer gets into emotional and family issues that are gripping and highly intense. Anyone whoever struggled to untangle an adoption issue in the family should read this book. It tells it like is is, and sometimes it makes you cry, but mostly it's a story of a woman's strength.

Rating:
Summary: Good storyline, gratuitous violence & filthy language
Review: I really enjoyed the basic premise of this book, Jaye finds out she and her brother Patrick are adopted, Patrick needs a bone marrow transplant because of leukemia, so she heads off into their past to find his blood relatives. But this book was filled with so much excessive and unnecessary violence and nasty language, I really could not enjoy it that much. If you don't mind reading that kind of stuff, then I would recommend this book to you because it was a pretty good mystery. But there are so many other wonderful mystery books out there that can do the job without filthy language and violence, I would suggest something else.

Summary: The filthiest book I have ever read
Review: I thought the storywasvery god, but was apall at your execcsive use of that "four" letter word, there was hardly a page where it didn' apear. You toot yourself in the back pages of he book as a college and universiy teacher, well, you must have been a reall bad one because you have no repsect for language or decency. I bet your entire family is shamed of you. I would be!

Your bad language added nothing to an otherwise good sotry. I always pass my books on to someone esle, but this went straight to to the trash where it belongs. Bethnay Campbell you have no self esteem or pride. you should be ashamed of yourself.
