Summary: AMAZING!
Review: After a read like The Boy Next Door I wondered if Meggin could top herself. She's proven she can with She Went All The Way. Meet Lou Calabrese, screenwriter of the famous Copkiller movies and Hindenberg, the film that catapulted the career of her boyfriend of 10 years, Bruno de Blaise aka Barry Kimmel. When Barry runs off and gets married to his co-star in Hindenburg Lou is devastated and believes her life could get no worse. That is of course until she ends up getting trapped with her worst enemy, Jack Townsand, in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness after an attempt on Jack's life goes wrong. This of course is the most horrid thing that could ever happen to Lou. She isn't prepared for the fact that there are people on snowmobiles trying to kill her. But what she's even less prepared for is the passion that ignites between her and Jack. This book was hilarious, sexy, and fun. I loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed all the charecters and I can't wait for Meggin's next novel.

Summary: Fast, sexy fun
Review: Do you enjoy fast dialogue and action? Do you dream of hot sex in the cold Alaskan winter? Then this one's for you! Meggin Cabot, aka Patricia Cabot, aka Meg Cabot of the wonderful Princess Diaries has written another winner. Screenwriter Lou(ise) Calabrese gets stuck with the detestable (or so she would like to think) actor Jack Townsend, America's hottest hunk, when a plot to murder Jack strands them together in the Alaskan wilderness. Worse, Lou and Jack have both recently been publicly dumped, and their famous exes have run off together to get married. It's a tabloid sensation. Although Lou and Jack at first dislike each other, they are unable to control the passion that sparks between them. Ms. Cabot is a wonder with both characterization and pithy remarks, and the combination results in a delightful read that you won't want to put down. It's fast, fun and sexy. Great romance.

Summary: This book shows an amazing lack of research!
Review: For being set in Alaska, you would think Ms. Cabot could have at least bought a plane ticket to the state and had a bit of a look around before writing the book. Especially since she seems to think there is a daily direct flight from New York City, which I have never seen and frankly do not think is actually possible. The amount of errors is astronomical, and that leaves room for the "artistic liberty" of things like renaming hotels, hospitals and National Parks. For instance even the little things are wrong, like the time difference from Alaska to New York, the lack of espresso in Anchorage, having Sheriffs as local law enforcement (State Troopers only, working alone and usually covering 100's of square miles of territory) and the ability to do more than glimpse the tippy top peak of Mt. McKinley from Anchorage on a clear day. Maybe these things are a bit forgivable, if sloppy. But the big things? Like having the cast and crew staying at the "Four Seasons" in Anchorage but flying (2 hours each way in reality) to the set in "Mt. McKinley National Forest", or setting off explosives on Mt. McKinley in the middle of winter (not only NEVER gonna happen, its like saying someome was going to blow up part of Mount Rushmore for a movie, but a HUGE avalanche danger as well), to hiking in deep snow in two inch heels (would never ever work not even for two yards, snow shoes are the only way to move around in this setting, let alone RUNNING in heels in deep snow), and setting a private hunting cabin inside a National Park (no hunting allowed in Denali folks!) with electricity and running water(doesn't exist in this area, kerosene and outhouses only). But the errors that really steamed me were those that were less than flattering to Alaskans. That a helicopter would go down in an area reachable by snowmachines and everyone able would not be out scouring the countryside for those folks is so wrong as to be insulting. Out here, if anyone goes missing, everyone else is pretty much willing to put whatever else they are doing aside and if neccessary risk their own life to find them, because we all know it could be us next time. As a matter of fact one of the most famous incidents regarding this took place right at the base of McKinley, exactly where this is said to have happened. A plane went down and the weather was so bad the search planes couldn't go in. So the pilots friends set out on foot and hiked through treacherous terrain for DAYS, in the middle of winter to get to them. John Larson actually did a whole hour long show on it once for Dateline. Maybe Ms. Cabot should have caught the show... In short, don't waste your money.

Summary: Not her best
Review: I didn't care for this book. They are outrunning people who are trying to kill Jack, and in the midst of it they decide to become lovers. One part was so "yah right!" that I almost stopped reading right then. (I don't want to spoil it for you by telling you-but it involves a cabin). I enjoyed her book Educating Caroline, but this one didn't work for me. Seemed to be more of a mystery, and I didn't enjoy the storyline. I'm suprised it was reviewed well by others.

Summary: Fluffy
Review: I found the situations in this book to be highly improbable and the plot line predictable. It's the first Cabot book I've read and probably the last.

Summary: Didn't care for this one...
Review: I read this book based on the great review of it at allaboutromance.com, but was quite disapointed. While I enjoyed Ms. Cabot's writing style and humor, I just didn't "get" the two main characters. I never came to "know" or really care for them. By the time they get together I could care less. Also, the plot twists didn't make a lot of sense. On a positive note, I did enjoy the sub-plot of the parents falling in love. In fact, I enjoyed their story more.

Summary: Great author
Review: I really got into the story as Jack and Lou run for their lives from unknown assailants. I liked their budding relationship, and really cheered for them when they finally stopped leering at each other. Very sexy, fun novel, but I felt the ending was a bit of a cop-out. They both carry a lot of excess 'baggage', and I just couldn't see them falling in love so quickly. I REALLY liked Jack and Lou's parents getting together..so cute! I would definitely read Ms. Cabot's next novel.

Summary: Silly Book
Review: I really loved her other book, "The Boy Next Door" as well as reading thru my daughters copies of the "
Princess Diaries" But this book was just silly, It almost did not seem to have been written by the same Author. I never really came to care about the two main characters and just could not figure out how they could become so sexually involved when they were running for their lives in freezing weather too..silly
Rating:
Summary: *HUGE* fan of Cabot's other work--not this so much.
Review: I thought this book was dry and the characters rather unlikeable. I'm a big fan of Cabot's other books (especially "Boy Next Door") and maybe it was just that I had high expectations when I picked this one up, but it just wasn't that good. Read it if you have a couple of hours to waste.
Rating:
Summary: Fast paced, good mystery and great love story
Review: It's been a long time since I read any kind of romance. I have to say, She Went All the Way was delightful! I can recall no romantic clichés, I found the characters to be human and believable. I enjoyed the progression of Lou and Jack's romance, because it was certain to me that she dost protest too much! I LOVED that the ending was real-life too. I think I'd even read this one again.
