3.0�toiles sur 5 Publishers should stop splitting up books!, Avril 2 2004

Par	latenight423 (Houston Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Late for the Wedding (Hardcover)

I'm beginning to feel ripped off - what would be one good book is stretched out by the publisher to three oh-so-indifferent books. Together, all three of this series might come close to one of Amanda Quick's earlier works.

I can see why the publishers do it:
** They'd have to charge $27 or more for one GOOD novel
** By splitting the book, they get $23 each for three NOT-SO-GOOD novels
** The split books still look the same because of wider margins and larger type styles

I can't see why the authors do it, though. Don't they see they are disappointing their readers, and ultimately might turn us off completely?

I won't complain about plots or characters. I know before I buy a hybrid romance/mystery that it's a combination of both genre's and, therefore, neither the romance nor the mystery will be GREAT. You get 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other. If you buy one of these hybrid novels, you get characters like Tobias and the crew with several light mysteries thrown in with the lighter version of a romance novel.

I just wish the authors and publishers would quit trying to rip me off. This three book series would have ACTUALLY made only one good book.

This review is from: Late for the Wedding (Hardcover)

I admit that her first two books of Lavinia and Tobias are a little bit on the dull side, especially "Don't Look Back" I read them so painstakingly in a span of one week. But this one, I thought Quick has finally grasped Lavinia and Tobias's character. The comedy has improved a lot and I found myself laughing a lot of times. The mystery is a lot funner but the suspect is so EASY to guess. Gosh, it's a no-brainer! Quick has no talent in writing these kind of mysteries. I was hoping I was wrong with my hunches, but I was really disappointed that I figured out the case faster than Lavinia and Tobias had: Im not showing off or anything, ha ha, no Im not...I wish I was, but there's no glory on this one indeed.
There are a lot of side stories in this novel: Vale and Joan, Dominic and Priscilla, Emeline and Anthony. I dont know about others, but, truthfully, I enjoyed reading their little scenes. I wish this is not a trilogy coz even though I have a low opinion of these 3 books, I have to say that Quick has a potential in improving the story line.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Another of the recent weak Quick books...., Janv. 20 2004

This review is from: Late for the Wedding (Hardcover)

I used to REALLY enjoy the Amanda Quick books (Rendezvous, Surrender, Desire and Mystique come to mind), but the last 5 or so of her books have been almost non-romance books. The people in them seem to all just have personality issues or something, as opposed to having a romance - it seems like no one is willing to commit and that they aren't really too interested in each other anyway. I wish the author would get back to romance stories and leave the darkness behind. As it is, I'm forced to go back to the old Stephanie James/Jayne Castle books for reading fun.

I adore Jayne Anne Krentz's writings - whatever the name - and have nearly everything she has written going back to the old Candlelights. Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 not a 5 star...
This book definitely gets 4 stars, but not 5. It was a great read, but didn't have that spark that some other books have. Lavinia and Tobias are great together. Read more
