The Big Game

Rating:
Summary: A New Literary Goddess in Town!
Review: And her name is Helma Clark. The Big Game is a magnificent tale of life and love. It is a novel, which captivates from page one. The Big Game is packed with dynamic characters who leap off the pages and with dialogue so real and brilliant that it causes one to rethink his/her own participation in this Big Game we call life. If you're looking to score big, then read this book!

Rating:
Summary: Romance, suspense, humor and baseball!
Review: Helma Clark delivers all the must-have's for a good summer read, and she does it with style. I found myself alternately laughing out loud and sitting on the edge of my seat. A great first novel. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Summary: Suspense, humor, romance and baseball!
Review: Helma Clark delivers the best of summer by skillfully packaging all four elements into her first novel. Her characters are human and her dialogue is terrific... I found myself laughing out loud at some points and hanging on the edge of my seat at others. The plot twits in The Big Game are inspired, far beyond the usual romance fare. I'm looking forward to more of Ms. Clark's works.

Summary: Surprise Ending(s)
Review: I love to read and read a lot. It has been a very long time since I read a book that I got almost to the end before I figured out who did it. This was not the only pleasant surprise, not only did I not figure out who the villian was, there was then another plot twist that kept you in suspense for 70 or so more pages. It was a most enjoyable read that I didn't want to put down. It tugged at all of my emotions. Thanks for such a great book and I hope to see more from Mrs. Clark in the future.

Summary: weighed and found wanting
Review: i thought this book was poorly written. the plot seemed disjointed and the book as a whole had a flow that was stumbling at best. there were moments that could be captivating, but nothing that was overwhelmingly wonderful. character development was weak and the romantic progression between the main characters was anything but believable. my advice? find another summer read by a better author. this one wasn't worth it.
