This review is from: No Good Deed (Mass Market Paperback)

I didn't really enjoy this book. First, there were ... errors in it. Michael did not heal Liz. Anyone writing a book about Roswell should know that. Also, I didn't like the interaction between Liz and Tess. Yes, I am not a Tess fan, but I didn't like how she walked on Liz at all. It wasn't how it happened in the show, and that really bothered me. As for storyline, the book was pretty good. If you've never seen the show, you will probably like it. If you're a die hard fan of the show, and little mistakes drive you insane, or if you aren't a big fan of Tess, this probably isn't the book for you.

This review is from: No Good Deed (Mass Market Paperback)

I really like it when authors who write novelizations related to TV shows decide to base their story on possible consequences of actions taken by the characters in the show. This book does that, playing on the idea of unintended effects resulting from Max's decision to heal the children in the hospital in the episode "Roswell Christmas Carol". Now, a Father wants his daughter healed, too, and kidnaps Michael because he thinks the young man holds the answer. At the same time, criminals are using Max's unexplained good dead to make money off of unsuspecting victims by selling them a cure that they say was used on the kids Max healed. The group goes looking for Michael when he turns up missing, while at the same time dogding a reporter who suspects Max had something to do with the so called "Christmas Miracle". All in all, the story was a good one, but did kind of drag at times. Also, the author really spent too much time exploring the thoughts of the reporter and the criminals hiding out and selling their elixer over the internet. Ultimately, the Roswell fan reading this book probably doesn't care what the one criminal thinks about the other criminal he's working with, or how he doesn't like the way he is talked to sometimes by his partner. It was still a well constructed story with a great premise working behind it.

This review is from: No Good Deed (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked No Good Deed. It kept my interest throughout the whole book! I thought the writing was good and the plot was even better. The one thing that bothered me was that they kept mentioning Michael's parents. Michael, as many Roswell fans know, was an orphan and never had parents. Maybe in the book Michael did have parents though. I'm not sure. Other than that the book was wonderful! I would definately recommend it to anyone who is thinking of reading it!
