Totally unbeliveable and really not a very good story.

I gave this 3 stars; it's probably more like 2.5 stars. I thought the plot was fascinating, but it was a little bit predictable. I did like reading it from the perspective of Jack.
The Big Bad Wolf by James Patterson

A very quick read, kind of filler, I think to keep the Alex Cross series going and introducing a new character, the Wolf.

I wanted to like this more than I did. It read a bit too much like a screenplay - and I just realized that it is coming out as a movie this month. Interesting subject matter, but it was a bit too over-the-top cutesy.

I got sucked into this very quickly. Cheesey and corny and incredibly predictible, but I read it in about 2 hours - couldn't put it down!
A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

Tough read. Jaycee is truly inspirational, and strong and brave and an amazing woman. Thanks for writing this and sharing your story - I imagine it had to have been hard to re-live.

I finally finished this. It started slow, got good in the middle, and ended slow. I got the premise, understood what was going on but it just didn't capture my interest very well.

Perfect to get me ready for my week down the shore. ;-) Really mindless, just what I expected.

Great continuation of the Pedergrast series! I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next one.
