Summary: Happy I read it.
Review: I actually stopped reading this book, when I realized this little girl had really been molested, and I could not make it unhappen. My reaction was: "I why would Ms. C put her through that"? Then I started reading again. Why? I realized I was reacting like these were real people. The actions of the people continued to anger and baffle me. In the real world, people do things for idiotic reasons and things get out of hand. Going well beyond the comprehensible. I was slightly disappointed at the lack of romance, but felt anything more "grand passionish" would have been absurb for such tramatized people. After all Ramsey's first love was that sweet mute little girl(I felt his tenderness and treatment were so PERFECT).

Summary: i loved the....
Review: first 50 pages or so. after that, this book stunk. ive never read anything by this author before and in the beginning, i couldnt wait to pick up a few more, but as i said, after about 50 pages, this ended. as a mother, i wouldnt want this strange man with me not only for an hour, but for over a month(? ) listening to private conversations im having with my father as well as my child's father (even though i may hate the man) she completely opened herself up to this man that she barely knew. granted, he did indeed save her child, but that doesnt give him rights to *every* part of her life. at times the mother showed absolutely no backbone, and other times, she was strong as a rock...this makes no sense to me either. as the story continued, i accepted the "love" connection but NOT ONCE in the entire book (even at the very end when they all live happily ever after) did they say they loved eachother, but in fact, molly said to one of ramseys friend something to the effect of "i can only hope he'll love me that way someday". excuse me? strong as a rock? blah! ::smile

Summary: Just Plain Boring
Review: I am a voracious reader and make it a habit to always finish a book; however, with this one it was a real EFFORT. Unlike others who have reviewed this book, I found it lacking in suspense, found the characters unbelievable (what child talks the way Emma did) and uninteresting. I doubt I will be reading anything further by C. Coulter.

Summary: My first and last Coulter novel
Review: A thoroughly unbelievable plot. A six-year old who thinks, speaks and behaves as an adult. Adults who act like children. A transvestite laptop?! FBI agents who can pick up an investigation on a whim? This was one of the worst reads I have ever had. Thank goodness, I bought the paperback version.

Summary: has a lot of potential
Review: I really liked Ms. Coulter's books in general but The Target left me feeling unsatisfied. It seems that Ramsey could have Emma without Molly and still be happy. And the ending felt rushed in that after all that suspence everything was resolved ASAP. Ms. Coulter could have done more with the rest of the supporting charaters, and the love scenes felt liked it was just an afterthought, plunked right down near the end. But the redeeming quality was that there were certain scenes that was very witty and funny.

Summary: I really like it.
Review: I like the book. Although I somewhat agree with some of the negative reviews, I still like the book. The suspense was good and it really had me guessing as to the real purpose behind the kidnap of the little girl. The judge reminds me of the judge in the TV series Dark Justice.

Summary: Not One of Her Best
Review: The Cove and the Maze were so much better. This was a good at the beginning. Interesting, lots of twists, not predictable ... but then everything went south - instead of a suspense, she turned it into a romance. I'm sorry, nobody falls in love with a complete stranger in a couple of days and decides to get married and life is wonderful especially when people have been trying to kill you, kidnapped your child, etc. I am disappointed

Summary: Reader from San Diego

Summary: So bad I had to keep putting it down!!
Review: First of all, if this is one of Catherine Coulter's "best" novels, it will be the only one I ever read. I found the character, Ramsey, to be especially unbelievable. He was one minute a strong, macho man--and then the next a man who wanted french-braiding lessons PLEASE!!!!!! I had trouble finishing this book because it was so ridiculous!
Rating:
Summary: Dull . . .
Review: This will be the first and only Coultier novel I read. I was anticipating great suspense and romance rolled into one. The suspense was so-so, a bit on the predictable. The romance? dull. I've never read love scenes that have left me so flat before. It may be her style but in writing the love scenes it seemed as though a man had written them . . . no romance or finesse. I had high hopes for finding a new author, but have been greatly disappointed.
