Rating:  Summary: Too graphic and strange. Review: Nora Roberts writes very interesting and exciting novels, usually. This book is not up to my standards for her. There did not need to be so much violence in the story, or at least such detail about it. I skipped over many pages because it made me VERY uncomfortable.
Rating:  Summary: Yikes! Just plain yucky! Review: I am a HUGE Nora Roberts fan, but this book was extremely disturbing! I expected a romance, but got a violent, graphic story instead. This book is not for the faint of heart!
Rating:  Summary: I really liked this book! Review: This is one of the few "romance" type books I have read. I really enjoyed it, it kept me interested throughout the story. The characters were pretty likable, but I would have enjoyed more development in that area. The ending was a COMPLETE SURPRISE!! I did not see it coming! I have purchased Montana Sky and Sanctuary for future reading. Being from Maryland, I had heard about Nora Roberts, but had never read her. I think I was missing something, to be honest. I recommend this to anyone wanting a diversion, a little bit scary, with some romantic suspense. A winner! I also recommend the wonderful Barbara Michaels, and Kay Hooper. Kathleen
Rating:  Summary: Poor Example of Robert's Skills Review: I have read most of Nora Roberts books at this time. This book however is a very poor example of her skill. It is much deeply evil and uncomfortably graphic. It has a strange aura of the occult which does not fit into her usually great stories and personal relationships.
Rating:  Summary: Her best book Review: I'd rate this more than five stars if I could. What I like about Roberts is that she has the romance-- but It isn't as trashy as the kind you buy at the grochery store. And this book was the best! My mother and I both read Roberts, so often we trade books. PUBLIC SECRETS, THE REEF, MONTANA SKY and DIVINE EVIL are her best works because they aren't just romances; they have mystery and hidden surprises, thickening plots with twists and turns that keep you in the novel. And she writes about the real world. Romance, Religon, murderers, and physcos are all out there in the real world. If you can't stomach her books, you can't stomach the real world.
Rating:  Summary: Too Graphic!!!! Review: Normally I love Nora Roberts, but this time the graphic violence and demonic worship went too far. I'm not into censorship and normally have a strong stomach but there were pages I had to skip over because it was just too much! I hate reading about this sort of thing in the paper let alone in something I am reading for entertainment. I would not reccomend this book to anyone. Normally I buy Nora's books and circulate them to my friends and family but this one I had to throw away. It just felt too evil. I didn't even want it around. I am not saying ban the book or anything, but be aware before you read it that it isn't Nora's typical style.
Rating:  Summary: One of the most fabulous novels I have ever read! Review: WOW!!! This book was incredible. I have never read a novel as fast as I read this one. Although this novel was fictional, it was so true to life. I know that things like this happen in real life. So many people are too affraid to admit to it. Nora Roberts did an outstanding job on this one. I have read 3 of her novels so far, including this one and I will continue to read more. Nora, you are AWESOME!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Best yet Review: I just read this book and I think it is Nora's best book yet. It didn't try to sugar coat things. It set out to tell a love story with a dangerous twist. It was great. I loved the main male character, Cam, and I thought that Clare was a really good female character. I liked the kid Ernie, how he started to think at the end. I thought it was good how they didn't have one church yelling at another. One bad guy yelling at one good guy. Every character had a little bit of bad and every character had a little bit of good. It was realistic in that sense.
Rating:  Summary: not so graphic... Review: that you feel ill....yet i do believe that one of the reasons its so disturbing to so many people is that is has happened...while this story is not based on real accounts, we've all heard of such things before...(now thats what makes a person feel ill!!) all in all, a good book ::smile
Rating:  Summary: Divine Evil is an excellent read! Review: Nora Roberts has outdone herself! Divine Evil is one of the best romantic suspense novels I've read. Although it's packed full of grotesque imagery and revolting rituals, I would recommend this book, especially to anyone who loves horror and high suspense. If you're faint of heart, however,pass it up -- it's graphic, violent, and will give leave you with nightmares.
