Title: I give up . . .
Review: Sorry to say I'm giving up on reading Riptide. I slogged about halfway through, begrudgingly, over a couple months. The story's premise is good: a mysterious island where people have disappeared or been killed and the promise of hidden treasure. And I've read a lot of Preston-Child novels, but Riptide just isn't holding my interest. The pace seems incredibly slow and the characters just so-so. No one stands out as someone to root for. To this point there's no romance to speak of and not a lot of action. I gave the book one star because I had to rate it. Sorry, guys. This one goes into the donation box. Glad I picked up the hardcover at resale . . . Sharon
