Book Reviews of Tribute
Book Review: I found it oddly lacking
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been a big Nora Roberts fan since the 80's, but recently I've found myself bored by her books (the exceptions being the JD Robb series). I don't know if I can put my finger on why I didn't like this book, but it took me a month to read it which is highly unusual for me. In fact, I had to force myself to finish which I've never done with one of NR's books. I couldn't have cared less about either of the main characters. I prefer characters who aren't so one-note and both Cilla and Ford came across as very one-note to me. I actually liked Cilla's ex-husband better than anyone else in the story...maybe Nora should have written about him instead.Book Review: I love Nora Robert's books
Summary: 4 Stars
This book didn't grab my attention right away like most Nora Robert's books do. The beginning is a little slow, introducing all the characters and building the story on the past. However, it quickly picked up in the middle and surprised me in the end as to who the character was behind the terrorizing of Cilla, and of Janet. I loved the relationship that builds between Ford and Cilla and also between Cilla and her father. Another great book by Nora Roberts!
Book Review: June Nolen author of In Reverse Time
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought Tribute in large print which I always look for. Nora Roberts is an outstanding author. There is no question about that.
When Cilla, a child star, returns to her grandmother's home in Virginia, she has left Hollywood and her mother behind to lead a quieter life. She has learned to FLIP houses and is a whiz with tools. She meets Ford, who lives across the street with his dog, a real character, and they become involved. Her grandmother commited suicide in the house. In the attic she finds old letters that point to the fact that her grandmother was pregnant at the time of her death and that the father, possibly someone from the community, didn't want the baby.
I love a mystery and the found letters were a mystery to solve. I personally got lost in all the different characters and how they were related to each other. I stayed confused and had to re-read a lot of the book, back-tracking to find out who was who. I don't believe this is a book I will keep or re-read but I did like the main characters very much.
Not one of Nora Roberts best but enjoyable all the same.
Book Review: Just Plain Awful!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected a good read, I got pure garbage. Quit at chapter 7, it is just plain terrible, nothing at all to hold your interest. The entire plot is given away by the third page.Book Review: Just getting better
Summary: 5 Stars
Nora Roberts just keeps getting better. This was better and I loved the
dream sequences. As a fan of Nora Roberts' In Death series and her regular novels, she continues to improve on the writing techniques.
