Riptide

Rating:
Summary: A minus tide
Review: This certainly has mixed reviews. I fall in the negative category. It was all I could do to finish. During the reading of this fairy tale I can't help but wonder why the author doesn't follow her own theme. First Becca is on her own, no one believes her, then she is totally believed and surrounded by agents watching her every move. They all wear kevlar vests to storm an empty house, except for the corpse of course. Then when they figure the badman is going to spring on them any minute they go for a 3 mile run in the fresh air. A house full of armed agents and the bad man still waltzes in and does what he wants. Where were the kevlar vests then? And one Zippo lighter manages to ignite cloth while everyone is trying to stop him? I could go on and on but you get the message. That's it for this author. Don't we all wish for that magic computer that can just get into everything and find out everything?

Summary: I thought this books was excellent!
Review: I completely disagree with the other reviews. This story was well thought out, and very funny. The characters were believable and the romance was not gaudy. The ending was very well planned, and I love this book.

Summary: What?
Review: I have never read dialogue so contrived in my entire life. The tension between Adam and Becca had not point of origin. The tension between Adam and Tyler was stereotypical, to say the least. The way the author ridded the characters and reader of any residual guilt/frustration/regret in regards to Tyler was totally unrealistic and disgustingly half-hearted. Such a cop out! The entire "love" story was based on notions of "Gee, you're hot! I wanna have sex with you! We must be in love!" When, at a rather crucial moment Adam said "Even my molecules are horny" I stood up, threw the book across the room, and laughed for ten mintues straight. I didn't keep it or sell it; I threw it in the bin where it belongs. It was utter trash.

Summary: More than Minus tide
Review: Take a look at the reviews for any of Coulter's FBI series and the comments are all pretty much the same. She is the author people love to hate.
If you are looking for an excellent writer that can keep you in suspense while using very descriptive language that adds to the enjoyment try Michael Connelly for one. No slang expressions here that sound like some teenager's writing and the FBI agents sound like FBI agents. They don't drag their 6 month old baby on the job for sure.

Summary: I can't believe how awful this book is
Review: I came to this site about 10 chapters in, just to see if anybody else felt the same way I did about this book. Thank god I'm not the only one who thought this book was awful! I found it had no flow what-so-ever, I found her writing style very hard to follow, the characters meant nothing to me, and I did'nt really care what happened to them. I finally could not take it any more and skipped ahead to the end to find out who the stalker was - just to end my torture. I have never read a Catherine Coulter book before (this one was given to me by a friend) and I never will again! DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME!!
