Cruel & Unusual

Rating:
Summary: Totally engrossing! I couldn't put it down.
Review: Cruel and Unusual is the best so far of Cornwell's Dr. Kay books. The serial killer finds Dr. Kay to be his intellectual equal and takes great delight in taunting her with subtle clues. Anyone who enjoys thrillers and enjoys Patricia Cornwell, I highly recommend reading her books in the order they were written, as the characters evolve and mature with each successive book.

Summary: fascinating and interesting
Review: I love all Pat Cornwall's books on Dr Kay Scarpetta. I find her forenzic game of "clue" to be very well put together. It's not always possible to write so many books on a theme, especially ones dealing in medical crime. The only other author to hold my interest through several novels of the same hero/heroine is Clive Cussler Well done!!

Summary: Top TEN!
Review: I am 14 years old and started reading the Scarpetta series when I was 12! I love every novel and read them over and over again--Cornwell has even inspired me to follow in Scarpetta's footsteps! I like how the book starts and ends with a twist. The matching of Waddell's print on the dining chair was shocking and in the end with Temple Gault fleeing--I was on the edge of my chair! If there could be one thing that I would say to PC it would be "THANK YOU!"

Summary: Wonderful and fantastic. A must read.
Review: I have read all but two of Cornwell's books (the newest two) and Cruel and Unusual is by far the best! I read the entire book in a one night sitting, turning page after page, and I haven't done that since "Jurrasic Park". This is a must read for everyone! When I first read a Cornwell book, I was traditional and read her first, and I must say that Postmortem was awful, but I gave her another chance, picked this one off of the shelf, and have never regretted it. I have loved Cornwell's books ever since giving them and Kay Scarpetta another chance. If you want a good thrill and an excellent book, pick this one up.

Summary: Catches you from the first and keeps you spellbound, but
Review: Couldn't wait to finish but left me wondering what happened to so many of the characters. Thought I had missed something so went back and listened to the last tape again to be sure. Hadn't missed anything. Author left me hanging.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book was so well written and medical facts appeared so well researched making it very fascinating. A book you just can't put down.

Summary: Cruel & Unusual, was fabulous!
Review: Cruel and Unusual was another wonderful story by Ms. Cornwell. It was graphic in its detail but I stayed rivited to the end. I read everything she writes. None of it is boring and her knowledge of investigative procedures adds to the thrills of her stories.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ IN A LONG TIME!
Review: This was a great book! It kept me coming back for more with every clue and piece of evidence that Dr. Scarpetta came up with. If you're into medical mystery, this is the book for you. It is the first of three books about this killer so read this one first. ENJOY! I did.

Summary: GOOD BOOK...YES...ANTICLIMAX....YES
Review: This is the first novel in the temple brooks gault series. It is not the worst one in the series nor the best. The Body Farm was much better then this but the teriibly bad from potters field was much meager then this. This is a nial biting thriller. With quite well described (and gruseome) details. A good read but the climax wasn't much of a climax and i thought that she had reached her set page limit so she just decided to throw any climax in there.

Rating:
Summary: Gruesomely detailed and hard to put down
Review: Your stomach turned by gruesome details? Then this is not the book for you! Well written with realistic discriptions of life in a forensic morgue, this book is extremely hard to put down. The ending is rather sudden, and somewhat of an anticlimax, but that aside I would defintely recomend this book to crime lovers - it will keep you guessing
