Title: Potential
Review: I expected a great deal from Cat Rising from the notes and various critiques I had read. I was disappointed that the book did not live up to what was anticipated. I believe Ms. Chadwick has much talent and the potential to write a masterful piece. However, she misses the mark here. The text flows nicely and provides an easy read. The book however is predicatable, plain and juvenile. There is no character development and we are not given enough depth of information to form a bond with any character, most importantly our protagonist, Cat. I saw her only as a hard working, shallow "I want it all" young girl in a woman's body. We have no idea who she really is and I found myself thinking that the women protrayed were one dimensional and lacked real substance. If only we knew why they felt as they did, acted and reacted as they did, we might appreciate them all the more. This would make a great beach read. If your looking for something a lot more thoughtful and discerning, keep looking.
