Southern Cross

Rating:
Summary: Pathetic just about sums it up
Review: I bought this book with excitement. I read Hornet's Nest and liked it. I wasn't expecting another Scarpetta story. This book was AWFUL. I found many instances where plot lines took a turn that couldn't be explained and then just went....nowhere. They were dropped completely! I have read every single book by Cromwell, but this was trash.

Rating:
Summary: I couldn't force myself to read another page!
Review: Since Cornwell is one of my favorite authors,I kept making myself read "just one more page", to be absolutley certain that I actually HATED the book! After page 200, I gave it up. Now I know...I HATED IT---boring, boring, boring!

Rating:
Summary: Awful. It was difficult to finish.
Review: The only thing I enjoyed about this book is Richmond, VA is our home town and identifying with the landmarks was the only thing that got me through this.

Rating:
Summary: Worst book I've read in years.
Review: If you are into bodily functions and scruffy looking people, this book is for you. I read the entire book and felt cheated.

Rating:
Summary: This book is even worsse than "Hornet's Nest"!.
Review: Patricia, How could you???. Bring back Kay Scarpetta and resurrect Wesley!! I struggled through "Hornet's Nest", thinking it had to get better, now "Southern Cross" is even worse, which seems impossible!!. Save your money and boycott this horrific book! and the boring, wimpy characters.

Rating:
Summary: I WOULDN'T DARE READ THE BOOK AFTER READING THE 238 REVIEWS
Review: NEVER BEFORE HAVE I READ SUCH HORRIBLE REVIEWS OF ANY BOOK. LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THESE READERS, I TOO LIKE CORNWELL'S BOOKS & HAVE READ MOST OF THEM, BUT JUDGING BY THESE REVIEWS OF THIS LATEST BOOK AM SCARED TO DEATH TO EVER BUY ANOTHER BOOK BY CORNWELL.

Rating:
Summary: This book was difficult to finish and disappointing.
Review: After reading several novels by Patricia Cornwell, I could not wait to start reading Southern Cross. I struggled to keep reading it. I kept on hoping and wishing it would get better, but it never did. Patricia Cornwell is in need of a sabbatical. Bring back Kay Scarpetta.

Rating:
Summary: Okay story but I ecpect more from Cornwell
Review: Readers will be disappointed if they are expecting Kay Scarpetta in this story. Read it without the prejudice toward Hammer(she is no Kay Scarpetta) and it is not that bad. Andy Brazill seems to be getting larger roles than Hammer.

Rating:
Summary: Poor plot and poor story.
Review: Lacked just about everything, that makes this book a poor reader. Read like it was put together in a day.

Rating:
