First Cut

Rating:
Summary: Fast paced and un-put-downable...
Review: An amazingly good medical thriller. I love a heroine like Ev...strong, sexy, funny. I highly recommend the first novel in the series, Blood Run.

Rating:
Summary: Can't put down!
Review: Can't put down the book and it gets exciting every chapter. I'm looking forward to more books of Ms. Robinson.

Review: I chose First Cut because it was a Literary Guild Selection. It turned out to be a disappointing choice for me. The author is obviously knowledgable about hospitals and medical terminology, but it was overdone and overwritten. The pace was frantic and I doubt any human could realistically continue to function as our protagonist, Ev, did in thise book. She is a resident who is a combination flawless physician, marvelous teacher, excellent detective, and sexually appealing to all men in this book. That is just too much woman for me. I began skimming about l/3 way through this tome and was relieved to finish. The lengthly explanation by our heroine of how, why and by whom the crimes were committed was just more (pun intended) overkill.

Review: This one started out OK, but I gave up after about 70 pages. I had a hard time following this book because there was just so much going on that had little or nothing to do with the main storyline. I became bored with this story and gave up. I may try to read this author again if I can find her books at a used bookstore.
