The Chase

Rating:
Summary: Two Thumbs Up!
Review: Engaging suspense and heartwarming intrigue gives The Chase a balanced pace. The characters are believable and real. Jill, the main character, endures real life events that leaves her to make real life choices. I could feel the terror she felt. I could share in the suspicion of everyone around her. Who could she trust? I would not have trusted some of the people she did, and would have trusted others she hadn't. The book plays out in a well organized fashion with plenty of twists that kept me guessing. The unfolding of facts, the emotional roller coaster, and how God played a role in it left me satisfied! I give it two thumbs up! Good job!

Summary: A Refreshing Novel
Review: I just read The Chase: A Novel and I thought it was very,very good. If I could of, I would of read it in one day, I did not want to put it down! I am orginally from the northern part of Illinois and have been to Delevan, Wis. It was interesting to be able to imagine all this going on in such a lovely town. As I read,I would try to figure out what was going to happen next,but I was always taken by surprise. I also loved the way the authors described, in detail, things like clothes, the house and other items. It made it more enjoybable and I was able to picture them better. I am not a person who likes to reread a book but this one I will enjoy rereading many times.

Summary: I would recommend it to my friends.
Review: I was compelled to read The Chase in two sittings. Because I am familiar with the Lake Geneva and Door County locale, I especially appreciated the descriptions of the settings. I did not feel that Jill was unlikeable; however, I was surprised that she would be ready for a new love after being so recently burned. Pearl was well delineated, always putting a positive face on her life as women of her generation so often did. The adoption ring and Mr. Lewis' involvement in it did not seem like a stretch at all. A recent People magazine article told of just such a scheme. I liked the quotations at the beginning of each chapter. I usually don't read in the Christian romance genre, but I will recommend this book to my friends.

Summary: An original!
Review: I've just had the opportunity to read THE CHASE by Susan Wales and Robin
Shope and I just had to comment.  The authors have a real gift for creating
multi-dimensional characters with heart.  I fell in love with the main
character, Jill, but I loved all the secondary characters like Miss Cornelia
and Jill's Mom and especially Marge at the newspaper...she was a hoot!
Jill, the investigative reporter is like so many young women today on the
fast track with their careers, leaving time for little else in their
lives...friendships, romance or a relationship with God.  When her career is
suddenly taken away from her in some shocking and unusual circumstances,
Jill Lewis find that she has little else to hang onto.  She has no faith to
pull her through, and just plods through her dire circumstances until she
gives up and realizes what is missing in her life.  First she falls
hopelessly in love with someone who is not available, and then she discovers
things about her family that are devastating, but as we all do her last
resort is to give it up to God.  When she gives her life to God, things
don't automatically turn around; in fact they get worse, which is often true
of the Christian walk, but she has peace for the first time in her life; a
calm assurance that whatever happens next, she can handle it with God's
help, and she does!  I found it very difficult to figure out what was going
to happen next and who the bad guys were, but that's what the kept me
reading until I finished the book in two sittings!  I highly recommend this
book, a great thriller, and I must admit that the romance is very guy
friendly.  It helped me figure out some things about women I'd not learned
before.  The ending left me longing for a sequel.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Not knowing what the hub bub about this book was I decided to read it and decide for myself. Generally not a fiction reader, I was surprised to find once I began reading I couldn't put it down. I got lost in the pages feeling I was right there with this wonderful group of people at the small town's newspaper. The worst thing was the book ended. Okay, you sold me...I am now a fiction lover. When does the next book come out?
