Waiting Game

Summary: Classic Jayne Ann Krentz
Review: I agree with the reviewer who wondered if she'd read the same book as the others who have commented. If you love JAK, you'll love THE WAITING GAME. It's on my keeper shelf (in the original issue), and when I reread it recently I enjoyed it almost as much as I had the first time around.

Summary: Audiobook Review
Review: I found this book full of humor and quite different from JAK's others. The twists kept me wondering what to expect and I enjoyed them immensly. This is a book to read carefully and at least twice. Trust me I don't say this about any novel!

Please read my other reviews and tell me if they helped you.

Summary: Audiobook Review
Review: I listened to the audiobook recording of Jayne Ann Krentz's The Waiting Game and though the story itself was good I just wasn't happy with the reader she didn't change her voice for the different characters so it was hard at times to figure out who said what, I had to rewind the tape back a bit several times because I wasn't sure if it Was Sara or Adrian who was supposed to be talking and personally I like it when the reader makes his or her voice sound different for each character and since I didn't find this audiobook very entertaining it's not going to be one of my keepers! I definitely liked the plot though and I hope to buy the paperback book.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: I thought this book was great! Plain and simple. I was "on the edge of my seat" while reading it. I thought it was very suspensful and well written. One of her best ones. I just wish I could see the movie but I can't seem to find it on VHS anywhere.. <so if anyone knows where I canfind that just email me :) >

Summary: two and a half stars
Review: It didn't take me long to realize I was reading an old JAK. However, this was defintely one of her better early works. I actually liked the hero here - he was kind and considerate and it was totally understandable that he didn't want to tell Sara about his former life. My problem with this book was with Sara. What an idiot! Unfortunately, the plot was based on her acting like an idiot so I really didn't like the plot either. I think if Sara had been a normal JAK heroine and the plot reworked a bit, this could have been an excellent read.

Summary: Good book- Bad movie
Review: Okay so the girl was somewhat silly in the book but JAK was still able to write in a way that made the story interesting. The hero was worth buying the book for I will give you that. However, if you are thinking of seeing the movie...DON'T. The book was ruined in the movie and the girl went from being silly to stupid.

Summary: enjoyable, but also a pain
Review: This puppy has been reprinted and reprinted, a 1985 JAK that is one of her better early works. The characters are charming and the writing diamond brilliant, though I really really wanted to slap the female every once in a while, for she really bordered on silly. I mean her uncle said WAIT and what does she do?? She wants to go to Southeast Asia with a man she suspects is a rogue CIA agent??? OH PLEASE. Some intelligent needed. When she would go on and on arguing I really got tired of WAITING...and when she was almost kidnapped off the streets the day before, what did she do...walk a mile into town to get her car with boyfriend following all the way and she never was aware.

Only JAK's bright righting kept this one from really sinking fast. I did like Adrian's character, but wish Sara was less of a dolt.
