Let me just start by saying I strongly recommed that you find another book to read. If you have it on you WL, please try and borrow it from your library if you feel that you must read it, because it's not worth a credit. I have read all of Grisham's books and was really excited about reading this one, but now I'm so annoyed with the ending that I just want to toss it. The book was written as if it's a sequel...I'm still waiting on the closure. So many questions were left unanswered I'm wondering why Grisham even bothered to mention them. It's like he did an outline for a book and forgot to fill in the details. Also this is the first book of his that I've read where he mixed up the name of his character. He started talking about Baxter and without changing the characters the comments were being addressed to Kyle...sloppy proof-reading. I can't make my displeasure more strongly felt. This book is a total rip-off.

Two words...loathe it. Chaoas would have been a better title. I can't help but feel that this was written after being under the influence of alcohol and drugs or both. The story goes nowhere, there's no plot, there's an abundance of characters who have no idea why there're in the story, so of course they just sit back doing nothing. Practically every chapter there's a new person mentioned, and one would assume that eventually they would all come full circle. Alas one would be wrong, because each character becomes an incomplete story with no understanding as to why they were even introduced in the first place. Right now I'm sooo annoyed I don't even want to type this review, but if I can save someone the money of ordering this books I'll consider this worth it. If you feel you must read it, because you're a die hard fan like me, borrow it from the library instead. That way you'll just be out the hours you spent reading it.

I really enjoyed this book although it was written for YA. If you've seen the tv show prison break, you will love this book. It was a fast read, very interesting, and I found the main characters 11 and 15 very gusty. I'll definitely read the others in the series.

This book was well written and very fast-paced. If you like intrique, mystery and a little action this is a must read. I liked the fact that you had to keep guessing who the actual perpetrator was until the very end. I absolutely loved it.

Only one word to describe this book...riveting. Koontz, is one of the most profilic authors I've ever read. He has a way of drawing you into the story, keeping you on the edge of your seat, as well as having your adrenaline pumping so hard you can't help but keep turning the page to see what happens next. This book, though scary, was also hilarious. Cubby is such a lovable character, and Penny can certainly kick butt. My favorite, however, was "the little einstein," I liked how Milo was able to be a 6 year old when it was necessary, but still able to help his parents think rationally as they planned their next move on Waxx. I was very disappointed when it ended. I absolutely loved this book, and highly recommend it. All of Koontz's books are keepers for me, because I want to read them more than once, and Relentless was no different.

The first chapter is very gripping. The story is fast-paced, and intriguing. Henri is very skillful at what he does, and is smooth, manipulative and clever. While I enjoyed the book, I think the ending is unfinished. I closed the book feeling very disappointed. I like all loose ends tied up, which was not done here. So one is left wondering, "Where is Henri, and will he ever reappear?"

This is the second book I've read in the Plum series, and already I found them predictable. Stephanie, although funny, is really a klutz when it comes to being a bounty hunter. Book is good for comic relief...however, this one wasn't as funny as # 9, and it had in a lot more expletives.

The characters in this book were very amusing. I liked Plum a lot, she's very down-to-earth, and I found myself laughing out loud almost from page 1. My only disappointment was Evanovich's need to use curse words. I found them very distracting and totally unnecessary.

This is the first time I read one of Konrath's book. I liked the main character, Jacqueline (Jack) Daniels. She is smart, witty, and cynical. Took me a little while to latch onto the story, because it was filled with so much gore, but I kept reading to see how long it would take her to capture the villian. I won't go out of my way to get a copy of # 2 though.
