Rating: Summary: This is a book to love and treasure! Review: How could anyone not love this book? It had everything, drama, love, true friendship excitement and best of all, a dog that was every bit as wonderful as the main characters. A wonderful book!
Rating: Summary: Simply wonderful even if read through special format Review: I am a great fan of Fern Michaels for she writes my kind of books--filled with love, adventure, challenge and loveable dogs! In FINDERS KEEPERS, all of the above are blended with skill, deep feeling, understanding and charm. I must read books recorded on 4-track tapes produced by the Library of Congress for visually impaired people. I am sure the edition used was unabridged.
Rating: Summary: not what i would have expected Review: I am normally an avid fan of fern michaels work but this book was a disappointment!! i felt like there was not enough insight into jessie roland's life as a child when being raised by her kidnapper parents and that also it tended to ramble on at times! There are some parts of the book that i enjoyed but this will not be a book i would choose to read again!
Rating: Summary: Please read C.A. Strickland's Review!!! Review: I don't know her/him, but that review was right on target! This was a story with so many plot twists thrown in that the author might just as well as thrown the kitchen sink in, too. The characters' personalities underwent such a change during the course of the story as to be totally unbelievable. It became tiring, rather than interesting, trying to keep up with what was going on. The ending just left me scratching my head - it was so rushed and out of left field, and so obviously a set-up for a sequel.I got the impression reading this book that the author was hoping that it would be made into a mini-series on TV - it had every possible hook thrown in. This was the first book that I read by Ms. Michaels, and it was a total waste of my time. I don't think that I'll be reading another of hers for a long time.
Rating: Summary: I Loved This Book! Review: I enjoyed this book so much.. it was my second Fern Michaels book, my first being the guest list. I really loved Finder's Keepers and I am on a mission to read every single one of her books. She is great! I hope there will be a conclusion to Finder's Keepers so we know what happened to Jessie later in life!
Rating: Summary: SHOCKER Review: I hated it, It was a fast read but too many plot changes. I never really got to know the characters. It made me depressed that Jessie never found love, its supposed to be a romance novel right????
Rating: Summary: real life roller coaster ride Review: I just loved this book I read it in one day. I found myself totally enthralled and couldn't put it down for a second. I love the strength, love and mischievousness that Fern Michaels puts into the characters in this book. I know she had fun writing it, although probably not as much as her readers are having reading it. I think everyone else would love to see a sequel to this book. I have read some series books by Fern Michaels, and she really knows how to keep you ineterested. There isn't a book that I haven't read by her that I didn't end up on an emotional roller coaster. If you read this book and you don't end up crying, laughing, and wanting to punch someone out then something's wrong with you.
Rating: Summary: Simply Stunning Review: I really enjoyed this book. That's all I can say. This is my first Fern Michaels book, and actually it is the cover that attracted me to it in the first place. Michaels really makes you understand the characters feelings. I felt as if I was there, getting to know Sophie. I could fully understand Jessie's feelings towards her mother, but I could also understand how the mother felt, and 'so-to-speak' sympathize with her. Michaels handles emotions excellently. I had wished the ending was different, but if it was maybe it wouldn't be so good. It was definitely NOT predictable, you know, I expected Jessie and Luke to 'live happily ever after'- TOGETHER :) This book was superp. I fully intend to search out more of these books. Anyone who really liked this, I am SURE would like the book PRETENSE by Lori Wick. (Christian fiction)
