Negative Positive
Title: A very well written book.
Review: I really enjoyed the delightful mix of drama, suspense, and action in this novel. I thought it was very well written and I had never heard of this author before. Claire Heller Chapman is an outstanding character, with plenty of spunk and smarts, but we could have done without the irritating little six year old daughter, I'm not sure what she had to do with it all. Her character description and dialogues made me think the author was not very familiar with children of that age group. Overall, I think the child should have been left out. Also, my paperback version of this book was missing pages 149 - pgs 180! It's a brand new copy - but given to me by someone as a gift, so I cannot return it. The author did so well with the writing and flow of the story though, I was able to keep on reading and not feel like I missed too much. Without those missed pages and the little girl, I would have rated this book five stars.
