 | The Quickie by Michael Ledwidge
Buy new: £13.99 / Used from: £0.01 Even if I read "Step on a Crack", which was readable but far from good old James P, I dare not take my chance on this one. Patterson is not to be trusted these days. Borrow it at the library.
|
 | The 6th Target (Womens Murder Club 6) by James Patterson
Buy used from: £0.01 Loved the first Womens Murder Club books. After the 4th, STOP. That one was unbelievably bad.
|
 | Judge and Jury by James Patterson with Andrew Gross
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Another teamwork from the busy manufacturer of disappointing books. Do I trust this one to be an improvement? I don't think so.
|
 | The Ravenscar Dynasty by Barbara Taylor Bradford
Buy new: £4.57 / Used from: £0.01 Readable, but far from the good old Emma Harte days. If you MUST have this book, buy it in paperback (or the library). If you do not, you are not missing anything.
|
 | On, Off by Colleen McCullough
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 I hated this book. Rape, torture and lots of blood. Not for the faint-hearted. Found both positive and negative reviews at Amazon.com US though, so take a look there. Just so I don't mislead you.
|
 | Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy
Buy new: £3.79 / Used from: £0.01 Never thought this lady would end up on a list like this. But this book is so disappointing compared with all the wonderful stuff Maeve Binchy has written. Hope for a new book soon.
|
 | Mad River Road by Joy Fielding
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £0.01 Mad stuff from an author who used to be one of my favourites.
|
 | Heartstopper by Joy Fielding
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.01 Even worse. What's happened to Joy? Please come back with books like those which were a JOY to read!!! Examples: "Kiss Mommy Goodbye" and "Grand Avenue".
|
 | At Risk (Winston Garano Series) by Patricia Cornwell
Buy new: £4.32 / Used from: £0.01 Another HUGE disappointment. How I looked forward to the Scarpetta books. If nothing happens here, it's goodbye, Patricia. It was fun back then.
|
 | Bungalow 2 by Danielle Steel
Buy used from: £0.38 This lady will come back, but "Bungalow 2" was a BIG cliché. For ds on top form, try "Toxic Bachelors". Excellent!
|
 | You've Been Warned by James Patterson and Howard Roughan
Buy used from: £0.01 WARNING! The factory is expanding. Another book, with a very suitable title, by yet a new team, is ready for pre-order. It says on paperback edition Patterson is the single author. Not true. HELP!!!
|
 | Creed for the Third Millennium (G K Hall Large Print Book Series) by Colleen McCullough
Buy used from: £1.57 McCullough is taking us far into the strangest future. Not for me. I refer to reviews at Amazon.com in the US though. Also McCullough's newly invented suspense books seem rather popular over there.
|
 | Amazing Grace by Danielle Steel
Buy new: £17.09 / Used from: £0.01 Disappointing about the destinies of people meeting during an earthquake in San Francisco. Interesting characters but the all over story is predictable and boring.
|
 | Cradle and All (Alex Cross Novels) by James Patterson
Buy used from: £0.01 Supernatural fenomena mixed with religious fantasy and media frenza. A work by Patterson alone, but still not my cup of tea. Farfetched and strange, even for a modern kind of fable.
|
 | Goodnight Sweetheart by Charlotte Bingham
Buy used from: £0.01 Three English girls during World War II. The book never seems to get above their flippant upper class dialogue and the suitability of their FANY uniforms. Boring and disappointing from Bingham.
|
 | The Power Broker by Stephen W. Frey
Buy used from: £0.01 Hard to believe Frey wrote this. His first books were excellent. To the world of finance what Grisham is to the legal world.
|
 | The Camel Club by David Baldacci
Buy new: £4.86 / Used from: £0.01 First in The Camel Club series. Having enjoyed superb books as Absolute Power, Saving Faith, The Simple Truth, this was a huge disappointment. Goes for the rest of the CC series as well.
|
 | 7th Heaven (Womens Murder Club 7) by James Patterson
Buy new: £12.29 / Used from: £0.01 After 6th Target March 07 w/Maxine Paetro JP was advised by fans to slow down and consider quality. Now 7th Heaven Jan 08 again with Maxine P. One faithful reviewer does not convince me.....
|
 | Honour Thyself by Danielle Steel
Buy new: £15.29 / Used from: £0.01 A BIG yawn all the way! Extremely boring and repetitive. A disappointment.
|
 | The Enchanted by Charlotte Bingham
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.01 Cozy but predictable. A children's book?
|
Listmania!
