A Hunting We Will Go

Rating:
Summary: The Action Keeps Coming
Review: A Hunting We Will Go by Hal Friedman reminds me of a great action advenure movie. The chapters are like scenes,short and without extra words. The plot is weird in a good way. A serial killer controlled by a woman so that she can get revenge on people who she believes have harmed her. Friedman writes in short chapters so you can stop and go whenever you get a few minutes. These also help the pacing of the book. The ending is totally unexpected and makes you wonder what kind of imagination it takes to dream up these things. Definately read it.

Summary: Overly formulistic
Review: I actually got this out of the library (sorry Amazon) while picking up a couple books to take on a trip; I was hooked from page 1 and read this book pretty much straight through to the stunning ending 350 pages later in about 2 days while on vacation; I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in a very suspenseful novel!

Summary: Just not written well
Review: I enjoy reading a mystery that keeps the suspense high until the end. This was like watching a movie that was a compilation of several bad movies all rolled into one. You just know what will happen next. Writing was banal and just predictible.

Summary: Good, But could have been better
Review: I enjoyed this book as a "beach read", but was disapointed by some of the aspects of the story. First of all, Mr. Friedman's editor should have informed him that radio and news stations in California (and all of the states west of the Mississippi River) begin with a "K" not a "W". Also, I had a hard time seeing Katlyn as a target. I'm not sure that local news anchors share the same celebrity status as rock musicians or film stars. These aside, I liked the characters, but also thought they needed a little more development at the beginning for me to care about them. Not bad for a first novel.

Summary: Simply Awesome!
Review: I love to read, and am very picky when it comes to choosing a good book. If I lose interest after the first few chapters it's all over for me. I read this book in 3 days! All 350 pages! I was on the edge of my seat with every turn of the page. Anyone who thinks this book was bad needs to check there pulse to make sure they are not dead!

Summary: Didn't like it
Review: I managed to finish this book somehow. I thought it might get better, but it didn't. Not a well-developed plot or characters. I found this story and the characters boring.

Rating:
Summary: A completely complex thriller you won't figure out.
Review: This book starts out with a double whammy and keeps on going. I could not put it down even to sleep. When I couldn't stand it, I must admit I read ahead and thought I had the ending figured out, only to find out in reading that I was as continually misled as the characters in the book.

This story is as complex and as gory a mystery story as you could want. Even in the end...or is it the end?
