4.0 out of 5 stars Hmm... was this what I was expecting?, May 15 2008

By	GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drop Dead Gorgeous: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Hmm... was this what I was expecting?

Short answer: Yes. Now here's the long answer.

Blair is as she is in the first book. I still find her `fluffy' and vain. She makes big deals out of things that aren't big deals, makes little out of something that should be a big deal. Knowing what she knew from before, I was really surprised by how Wyatt felt, denying that she was being targetted yet again, and the ensuing fight was a bad one. He said things that would have made me even more made than Blair was, but this whole `compartmentalizing' thing she does annoys me to know end. And so does her `list of transgressions'. I'm sorry, but if I did that to my husband, our marriage would have been over long ago. Who likes having their faults or the things they did wrong thrown into their face daily/weekly? Give me a break!

I'm also wondering who writes the synopsis' for both Blair Mallory books. This one makes note of a 'seemingly innocent accident. Sorry, but what happened wasn't deemed an accident right from the get-go. Yet the synopsis leads to you believe something else.

I also found this predictable. If you've read the first novel, you may agree with me. They seem to keep asking Blair who she angered or made an enemy of - same as the first book. However, she kept throwing it back at Wyatt, wondering if it had to do with him. It happened so many times in the first book that this one became predictable. And again, the entire plot and climax was summed up in Chapter Twenty-Nine. The book ended with Chapter Thirty, the wedding. Why, again, was the ending summed up in one chapter? Is there something wrong with spacing it out? I mean, the book is entertaining; some great laughs, good groans and head-shakes, but summing up the ending in one chapter, for me, screws up the entire book. It feels like being sucker-punched. I really wish authors wouldn't do that. And some things are repeated enough that it gives you that `okay, can we get past that already?' feeling.

The book is a great read. Some laughs, pretty good action scenes, and although you don't get erotic descriptions, you quickly get the point. However, the one chapter ending steals one star from my rating.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, Feb 23 2007

By	Linda Howard fans - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drop Dead Gorgeous: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

You might like it if you haven't read the original, "To Die For". But, if you have read the orginal, you might find that a lot of details are redundant. I found myself kept flipping pages trying to find something that I have not already known after reading To Die For. I love Blair. I really like the way she is. I really enjoyed Blair's way of thinking. But this just doesn't impressed me as much as the previous one and the other novels of Linda Howard.

5.0 out of 5 stars better than the original, Dec 17 2006

By	Jodi Ruschin "dragonjr" (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Drop Dead Gorgeous (Hardcover)

OMG this book was so funny i could not put it down. And had to re-read it right after finishing it. This book continues on after To Die For where Blair is trying to plan her and Wyatt's wedding. She is again plagued by someone trying to kill her...god damn it! This book is written in first person as it the original book and i found funnier than the first. I would though read the first book before this one because there are references that might not be understood without it. Lots of fun to be had by any and all who liked the first.
