Book Reviews of Riptide (FBI Series)
Book Review: Aspiring Editors and Writers, there is new found hope!
Summary: 2 Stars
This was my first Catherine Coulter novel, and though I tried and tried, the prose was simply too repetitive, mistake riddled, and quite frankly awful. Her character development comes off as if it were written by a 4th grader. Though Coulter has a creative mind in putting together a story, there were some pieces of the puzzle come together like trying to reconstruct a shattered whindow. With better editing, fewer "Damnations" and "down to his/her toes" the book would have been less frustrating to read. Many a suspenseful moment exist, with good ideas, ruined by the teller's plodding prose. At least at the end, the story answered it's few unanswered questions. I just wish it were put together more effectively and edited by a professional.
I will give Coulter another chance, there has to be something to a person who can write several best sellers. Just not this one.
Book Review: At Least It's Not Boring!
Summary: 3 Stars
This book kept me reading on my subway ride to and from work! However, the story of Becca Matlock has wholes "you can drive a truck through".The book starts with Becca Matlock, the up and coming speechwriter for a governor, who is being pursued by a murdurous stalker.After that, the book is an interesting but wild roller coaster ride of improbable activity, which is exciting, if nothing else. This is a great book to keep you busy while waiting at airports, and while on an airplane.Book Review: Awful, awful, awful

I don't think I could say enough bad things about this book. The dialog was stiff and unnatural. The plot was supremely unbelievable. Not only that, you were annoyed with the underdeveloped, useless characters for the fact that they even believed that such rubbish could be going on around them. There was subplot inside subplot inside subplot, none of which made any sense or tied together in any logical way. Unbelievaly bad. The good news is, it serves to give aspiring authors hope: if this got published, anything can!Book Review: Best Book in the FBI Series!!

Summary: 2 Stars
There are so many things to complain about with this book. The main thing I couldn't stand was the way the characters (all of them) spoke. I know people in a few different states and I've never, NEVER heard anyone say "folks" that many times. I've never heard anyone say "goodly amount" either. There are some others but I wont get into that. My other problem was Tyler. It was obvious that he was psycho. Also, Catherine Coulter seems pretty arrogant considering what a piece of garbage this book was. On the back of the book in the "dear reader" section she writes: "I don't think you'll figure out the puzzle, but have a good go at it and do let me know that I indeed twisted you all up." Give me a break. How could anyone figure it out when no one knew he existed? Last complaint: Thomas Matlock was in hiding for what, like 20 years because they couldnt find Krimacov? But suddenly when they think he is the stalker it takes all of about 10 minutes to locate him. I'm almost out of space so I'll sum it up: NOT A GOOD BOOK!!!!
