Title: Ugly Novel
Product review: I was shocked when I started reading the reviews for this book. I honestly thought maybe there was a different book with the same name. This book is like all of Iris Johansen's novels (the couple I have managed to finish anyways. I keep thinking they'll get better but they don't.) The plot sounds deceptively intriguing, but fails to live up to the back cover. Strong willed girl endangers the life of herself and everyone around her to get revenge, and the rich powerful attractive stranger (almost always a murderer or criminal, but no one seems to let that bother them) steps in to help her and they fall in love within minutes. All this is conveyed through pure dialog. And poorly written, sometimes painful dialog at that. It's like reading a bad soap opera script. It's not a romance novel, it's not a suspense novel, it's not a well-written novel. So if you're looking for any of those, keep looking.
