Rating:  Summary: I loved this book! What is wrong with you people? Review: I liked this book a lot. It had all the elements that I like in my romance novels...intigue, passion, and humor---and do I love her humor. I do belive this is one of my favorites right now, but had avoided it for a while due to the opinions of others. Pish-Posh!! Mad Jack was fantastic!!
Rating:  Summary: Ms. Coulter is slipping in quality Review: Her novels used to be fun and passionate, if with perhaps a bittoo much violence toward women. Used repeatedly it seems like aneasy-to-invoke plot device. The first clue to quality slips in the Regency/historical offerings were the re-issues of shorter novels as expanded ones. The new Regencies since then are beginning to all sound alike. Every heroine's "eyes cross with lust". Etc. By the time I got to Mad Jack, I was totally confused mid-way through. Simply because the author kept throwing in new elements to separate her main couple. Eventually the two of them seemed like different people in each chapter. I could not imagine how Jack got from an ignorant bride (of things "bridal") to the wisdom-dispensing mature counsellor of her husband over the trauma induced by his mother. When did Jack make THAT transition? The story takes place over a fairly brief period of time. Slow down, Ms. Coulter. It seems like she's hurrying to the bank to deposit royalties.
Rating:  Summary: I really couldn 't get into it ; It didn 't mine attention Review: I have read a lot of your books you are one of mine favorite author i just had a difficut time reading this; it wasn;t like your other books'
Rating:  Summary: Great book!!!!!!!!!! Review: I don't know what everyone's complaining about. I loved this book!! I'm a great fan of Coulter's books and I can't wait for her next ones. Lighten up people, nobody's perfect!
Rating:  Summary: I found this book very boring ! Review: I was very dissappointed with this book. It was very boring. I usually can read a book of this length within 24 hours if it has an interesting storyline. This book fell very short of that. It took me 3 weeks. I could never get interested in it. The characters were so unreal and very superficial. I feel Catherine could have done a better job.
Rating:  Summary: Boring and repetative... Review: Catherine Coulter has obviously gotten tired...tired of writing...tired of researching...tired of thinking. This book was a total rehash of previous books. It was also very poorly writen. The characters speak in odd run-on sentences, and the tale is not only unbelievable it is absurd. She WAS once one of my favorite authors, but after this I don't know if I will bother to read anything else that she writes.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing but not a total Disaster!! Review: I have read quite a lot of Coulter's books but Mad jack was not up to her usual high standards. The storyline was a bit erratic but the appearances of characters from the Heiress Books made it a lot more fun plus the aunt's sounded to me as if they had lived a very interesting life. Try to do better next time Catherine...okay?!
Rating:  Summary: Rambling, secondary characters didn't have a purpose Review: I was disappointed in Mad Jack. It seemed disjointed with no real reason for the secondary characters to be in the book. Not up to Catherine Coulter's usual standards.
Rating:  Summary: Rip-off Rip-off Rip-off Review: I paid the outlandish price for this book, assuming that Coulter would be up to her usual high standards. Such was not the case. The dialogue was almost bizarrely stilted ("I'm a man. I'm handsome and charming..... You will admire me. You will be pleased that I'm your husband. You will obey me, but I will never trust you".) Does/did anybody ever talk that way? Coulter also brought in characters from previous books, such as Sinjun and Colin, Ryder, and Douglas, which, I admit, influenced my decision to buy the book. Like the dialogue, though, their presence seems awkward and contrived, leading me to suspect they were reintroduced to lend some credibility to a vague plot (the heroine, Mad Jack, is trying to avoid being married off by her wick stepfather, hence the quickly failed masquerade as a male). Do yourself a favor and wait until your local library has this book. It's not worth buying...........
Rating:  Summary: Not Good Review: This book was a waste of time. I like Catherine Coulter's books but this is not worth the time it took to read it. I think this was a fast write book. It was dissorganized like school papers done at 2:00 am the day they are due. I am very dissatified with this. I hope her next book is better.
