2.0�toiles sur 5 Very apt title, D�c 31 2007

Par	Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Book Of The Dead (Hardcover)

This fifteenth Kay Scarpetta adventure is unfortunately not one of Cornwell's better books. Relocating to South Carolina and going into private practice has a detrimental effect on the main characters, all of whom become more and more unlikeable as the book progresses.

To be fair, it does have three murders, each involving torture in most ingenious ways, but even this barely registers among the flotsam.

You know you have a problem when the murderer is much more interesting than the good guys, but at least somebody's getting the job done while the others fret, moan, get jealous and either go ballistic or melt down. The story seems to go on forever, the book of the title appearing almost as a secondary thought to facilitate a cool title.

To add to the foregoing, after you work your way through the 387 pages of the hardcover version, the story just stops.

No cliffhanger - it just stops!

..and with that, so will I

3.0�toiles sur 5 NOT ONE OF HER BEST, D�c 12 2007

Par	LMS "Book lover" (ONTARIO) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Book Of The Dead (Hardcover)

Her latest is not one of her best. Very confusing and choppy. Story jumps all over the place. Left feeling like I needed to read it again.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Terrible, D�c 13 2007

Par	Dennis Orr (Vancouver, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Book Of The Dead (Hardcover)

Probably not the worst book I've ever read, but surely the worst by a "name" author. Amazingly, on amazon.com over 40% of the people rated this with 5 stars.

I used to love this series. Scarpetta and Marino were characters that I cared about. The last couple of books were disappointing, but this one was close to being unreadable. After wading through 400 pages the "climax" takes less than a paragraph. It doesn't even make much sense, almost like it was thrown in because she knew the book had to end.

Cornwell leaves loose ends involving some of the major characters. I assume she thought this would be the only way to keep her loyal readers interested in this dreck.
