Book Reviews of The Target (FBI Series)
Book Review: My first and last Coulter experience
Summary: 1 Stars
I, like others here, feel compelled to finish any book I begin, but this is one that makes me seriously rethink that comittment. Others have duly noted the multitude of flaws in the plot, but what really got to me was the insipid dialogue. NO ONE TALKS LIKE THIS! Virtually every time a character opens his or her mouth, what comes out sounds like something that would earn a generous D in a high school creative writing class. I guess I should have been alerted by the "Dear Readers" note on the back cover of the paperback edition. I know this was probably written by someone working for the Publisher, but didn't Coulter have to sign off on something over her signature? When an author tells me her book "will keep me on the edge of my seat," and promises to I'm not smart enough to solve her "surprise" ending, I should know well enough to keep my wallet in my pocket. Oh well, fool me once ...Book Review: My first and last Coulter novel
Summary: 1 Stars
A thoroughly unbelievable plot. A six-year old who thinks, speaks and behaves as an adult. Adults who act like children. A transvestite laptop?! FBI agents who can pick up an investigation on a whim? This was one of the worst reads I have ever had. Thank goodness, I bought the paperback version.Book Review: Not One of Her Best
Summary: 3 Stars
The Cove and the Maze were so much better. This was a good at the beginning. Interesting, lots of twists, not predictable ... but then everything went south - instead of a suspense, she turned it into a romance. I'm sorry, nobody falls in love with a complete stranger in a couple of days and decides to get married and life is wonderful especially when people have been trying to kill you, kidnapped your child, etc. I am disappointedBook Review: Not as good as other Coulter books
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading The Cove and The Maze, The Target was a bit disappointing. It was not very believable and somewhat slow. The other two books were real page turners. I kept waiting for more of the cliffhanger chapters to come, but they didn't. A good read, but a bit disappointing.Book Review: Not her best....
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was not written very well but the writing seemed sloppy. The plot was strong but the characters weak. I would have liked to see more of Dillon and Savich, who popped up every once in a while, but they were unnecessary to the plot. I think she should have included them better. The Maze was much better but they all can't be winners. This book was a slight disappointment but all in all it still is a pretty good read. I always enjoy a good suspense novel with a little spatter of romance!
