Summary: Go Joy Fielding!
Review: "Good Intentions" put me off Joy Fielding for a while, but this book gives us back exactly what we want - mystery, tension, confusion and revenge!! Now let me tell you, there seem to be a few common themes in Ms. Fielding's novels - there's the attractive and reputable, but emotionally abusive husband, who makes everyone, including his loyal wife, believe she is CRAZY. Then you've got the sense of just how true the devotion of a Mother to her child/children is. Not to mention that you always "just have to read one more page". This story makes you realise how terrifying it would be to have amnesia and sets you into a spiral of confusion and fear. You wonder, along with Jane Whittaker, who is lying, who is telling the truth, and whether or not she is in fact, caught in the middle of some huge conspiracy. I suspected a couple of things before they actually happened, but overall, this story was full of suspense and written in a great, readable style. I can't wait to read the next one!

Summary: Lame
Review: Amnesia is the most overused plot device in popular fiction. One would hope that a writer who dares to use it would at least back it up with a decent plot, but in this book, no such luck.

Summary: Plan on pulling an all-nighter with this book
Review: Excellent--the best of Fielding's books. The most fascinating aspect of the book is that we, as readers, are gradually learning about who Jane Whittaker was, and is, at the same time that Jane is recovering from her memory loss. Jane is a very memorable character, and the subtle descriptions of her personality traits and tendencies make for a very interesting read. This is not a "predictable mystery" by any means, although certain people are not what they appear to be. The only problem I had with the book was Jane's nosy neighbor Carole. Would any neighbor, even a NOSY one, call your doctor husband in the middle of a scheduled surgery and tell him to get home right away just because YOU LOOKED DISTRAUGHT? I didn't quite buy that one, but overall, every minute detail about the characters and events flowed smoothly. I highly recommend it.

Summary: You can't put it down!
Review: I absolutely loved this book. If you like mysteries and want a book that you can't read fast enough for all the suspense that builds up from page to page, this is a must! You can feel every emotion Jane is feeling. The question of "who is really lying" will be ever present until you read the last page!

Summary: Another superb Fielding book!
Review: I am hooked. Joy Fielding has a fan in me ~~ this must be the fourth book I've read of hers and I've yet to be disappointed in her writing! What a fun novel this is ~~ and it starts out with a bang and ends with a bang ~~ it's just a fun novel to read. Just prepare yourself for an afternoon of suspense. Jane comes to and doesn't know who she is. All she knows is that she has blood on the front of her dress and she has thousands of dollars in her pockets but she doesn't know her name, nor does she know what she likes. She has no memory of who she is. And why she was standing alone on the busy streets of Boston. Amnesia. A scary psychological disorder ~~ and when she turned herself into the police, they sent her to the hospital and one of the psychologists on staff told her that something really stressful must have happened to her to block out who she is. Jane's husband rescues her ~~ and Jane tenetatively explores her life again ~~ trying to figure out who she is and why she has lost her memory but she ends up being drugged. And the story keeps getting more suspenseful ~~ you know something is going to happen, but just not what. It's great! And Fielding keeps you enthralled as you turn every page. If you are looking for a good read to sink into ~~ this book is it. Just be prepared not to have the ability to put the book down ~~ you won't be able to till the last page is turned. It's a great mystery and very suspenseful. Fielding has yet to disappoint me! 2-25-03
