Rating:  Summary: Disappointing. Review: What does it say about the book if you've been stuck on page 52 for the past three months? I love PC's books and usually read them in couple of days or even less, but this one was only disappointing. My hopes were up because I loved Hornet's Nest, but unfortunately this book didn't amount to much. Better luck next time? Or should we say, stop the mass production PC - PLEASE!
Rating:  Summary: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Gag. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Review: Not funny. Disjointed. Boring. Pointless. Dumb. What a waste of money
Rating:  Summary: A very bad and boring book. Review: What has happened to Patricia? Her books have become so boring...
Rating:  Summary: Insulting. #1 on worst book of Year list. Review: This book was degrading and insulting. It's characters were stereotypes and characatures of people and southern customs right down to a "Bubba". Ms. Cromwell shows her ingnorance by the ignorance of the characters. Did she formerly write for "The Dukes of Hazard"? (thank god I borrowed it from the library and can get rid of it)I wouldn't have given it any stars if that option was available.
Rating:  Summary: Yuck! Review: What a disappointment. I pre-ordered this book before I scanned the reveiws and failed to remove it from my shopping cart! What a mistake and a waste of money. Boring, disjointed and a dull read. I am an avid fan of Cornwell, but even I had trouble getting through this one!
Rating:  Summary: Very bad. Review: The only good thing I can say is that I listened to an abridged version instead of suffering through the complete book. The characters and story are very weak and predictable. Hopefully author will return to previous style.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely not at the same level as Kay Scarpetta novels Review: Patricia Cornwell's Southern Cross does not include her famous character, Kay Scarpetta, who did not even make a cameo appearance to do an autopsy. Also absent along with Ms. Scarpetta are all of Ms. Cornwell's creative juices and excellent character and plot development. This novel is a real sleeper because all it will do is put you to sleep earlier than you had hoped.
Rating:  Summary: Not worth the reading. Review: Patricia had better stick to what made her so popular. This book was a waste of time in writing and reading. I have all of Patricia's books on the shelf except this one, and it will never go there.
Rating:  Summary: Not bad, but not up to par with Kay Scarpetta Review: This did not seem like a Patricia Cornwell novel. I love her Kay Scaretta books because they are so technical and true to life. Southern Cross was a little too imaginiative and the story line had too many twists and turns to make much sense. There were too many characters and not enough depth. I love Patricia Cornwell and I have faith in her writing abilities. But I think she should either stick to writing about Kay or develop new characters a little more and make the plots a little more realistic. Suggestion to readers: check the book out from the library. Don't pay good money for it.
Rating:  Summary: complete trash Review: I have read a few of this authors books and enjoyed them. This book was not worth the time and effort or the paper it was printed on. The language was horrid and the story content sickening. I am suprised an author of this standing sank so low and that the publisher found it worthwhile printing.
