Review title: From Bad To Worse to AWFUL Product review: With the last two titles, it became increasingly clear that Cornwell has either run out of stories, or has simply stopped caring. Blow Fly stuggles to be Harris's Hannibal, with Cornwell going so far as to directly rip off ideas from that book (remember Lector's memory palace?) The biggest problem is that THERE IS NO STORY. All of the characters mope around, and if I sent this story into my editor, she'd send it back to me and cancel my contract. This book was SO BAD that, after reading it, I returned it to the bookstore. It's sad that someone of her talent has simply stopped caring about the quality of her work, and is now dumping this awful stuff onto the public. What's even worse is that she expects people to pay for this. No more for me. I'm done, and so are a lot of her fans. Goodbye.

Review title: Not very useful Product review: This book doesn't have all that many photos, and the photos it does have do not show American homes or rooms with which people who have families and children can identify. It looks as if al these rooms are for single people who don't have a life. Very designy, very studied. interesting but impractical. I like a pared-down design aesthetic very much and live that way, but the way this person illustrates that clean approach left me a bit cold. In terms of family life, I suppose I lean more toward the clean IKEA look which emphasizes livability and comfort versus the rooms I saw in this book which look more as if they were done for show.

Product review: "Julia's Last Hope" is a typical Janette Oke book, but I felt that it fell short of her other books. I always turn to Oke's books when I need a book to read quickly, and this is the case with this one. While it's light and easy to read, I didn't feel it provoke any emotions within me, like her stories usually do. I thought the plot to be rather redundant, and I was waiting for something to happen - and nothing ever did. I do not recommend.
