Summary: This was one of the best books I have read this summer!
Review: I have read all of Sandra Brown's book and this one was truly great! Pinkie was a creep and got was he deserved. Burke Basile, a cop any law enforcemnet agency would love to have was a great character as well as Remy who was a person worth getting to know. A really great book!

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I have read nearly every book Sandra Brown has written and am a very big fan. I bought this book even after reading the less-than-rave reviews of other fans. I wish I had took their words to heart and left this one at the store. This book lacked the usual sizzle associated with this author and I had a hard time believing the roles of hero and heroine. I guess I took for granted that since it was Sandra Brown, she could write no wrong. In the future I will treat her like every other author and take a close look before I buy.

Summary: I liked this book very much!
Review: This is my first time reading Sandra Brown. I was hooked right from the first page. She never stops the action and I love her hero's and heroines. They may be a bit above real life, but you don't care. she just sweeps you along with the story. I found it hard to put down. As soon as I finished it I went to my computer and looked on Amazon for more of her books to order. She has a new fan.

Summary: Not one of her best...
Review: I've read all Sandra Brown's books since the begining and this was not one of her best. It might have been a good mystery but, let's face it, most woman buy Brown for her sizzling, sexy romances. The main characters didn't really meet until almost mid-way in the book and where was the sizzle -- the passion? The heroine was not very interesting and there was virtually no chemistry between them. I would not put this book on the same plain as MIRROR IMAGE, SLOW HEAT IN HEAVEN, or even some of her early series romances. FAT TUESDAY was pretty slim pickens.

Summary: It was a pretty awesome book!!!
Review: Wow, this was a pretty exciting book. But it was kind of weird. I don't know how to explain it but I mean, it was kind of obvious at what was going to happen in the book and like who was who and etc. But I thought it was really good because it kept me reading it without putting it down and to me, that would be a pretty good book because like if it wasn't a good book then I wouldn't be reading it and I thought that Remy was not all that great but I thought like Burke was just so cute....::sigh::. Anyway...I just want to say that this book was awesome and you have my recommandation!

Summary: The central relationship seems superficial.
Review: Wasn't there a 1986 film called "No Mercy" starring Richard Gere and Kim Bassinger that had a storyline, setting and many plot elements very similar to those we encounter in Fat Tuesday? The characters in the film had a much more intense relationship. The main characters in the book don't actually meet until page 137 but are involved from a distance. The reader rarely sees them very closely involved until the epilogue. There is no mystery and little suspense.

Summary: MY New Orleans isn't like this!
Review: New Orleans is my favorite city on the planet. She has everything, and you either love her at once or you never understand her at all. What Sandra Brown fails to realize is that New Orleans embraces all walks of life with the same enthusiasm. Yes, Pinky was a crook and a bad guy, but in New Orleans, he'd fit in just fine with the elite. I might have bought the good cop takes on the bad guy in some other city, but, not in New Orleans. In New Orleans, they sit side by side at the Acme Oyster Bar. Besides missing New Orleans' character all together, Brown's story really isn't too tightly woven. I didn't really feel sorry for Pinky's trapped wife and I really didn't much like the crusading cop. To me, this book just flat misses the mark.

Summary: The action sizzles like bacon.
Review: Fat Tuesday by Sandra Brown may find its way to the best seller lists. Brown serves up a tasty morsel in this epic drama. After a tuff New Orleans narcotics cop, Burke Basile's, partner, Kevin Stuart is fatally shot and dies during an investigation. Burke is bent on vengeance for all concerned. In the tradition of the cop suspense drama, he vows to go outside of the law to exact revenge on not only the thug who was involved with the incident but the kingpin himself. Basile finds he must turn in his badge to enforce the punishment meant for such a crime. Fat Tuesday starts to sizzle when Basile turns up the heat by mixing charm and coercion to enlist various underworld elements in his cause. Basile seeks revenge on Pinkie Duvall, a prominent defense attorney/crime-lord, he feels is responsible for Kevin's death. In Fat Tuesday the reader becomes apart of the game swept up by Basille's quest to "set things right." You find yourself becoming the illusive detective in search of hidden clues to solve the ever changing puzzle.

Summary: Unoriginal, unimaginative disappointment
Review: Generic characters, cliched writing, make this hard to get through. No excitement felt by this reader--no interest in stereotype hero and villain, and the heroine (if one can call her that) is unbelievably shallow and boring. New Orleans also comes across as flat and boring. This story could have taken place in Dallas, LA, or Minnewanka for all the sense of place present. Read if you don't mind plodding through page after page of slow-moving story as you hope for something exciting to happen.

Summary: Fat Tuesday- A Good Novel
Review: Fat Tuesday is one of Sandra Brown's best novels, yet I found myself wondering, why is Basile so caught up with killing this hot to trot lawyer and his cronies? He just needed to take a break from being a cop. Remy, the female lead, was very dull. There was not as much romance as I prefer, but it was still a very good read and kept me up late at night. Bravo, Ms. Brown! Thank you for keeping me entertained all these years!
