My parting thought with this book was that it was very Dan Brown-esque. Whether that is to be taken as a compliment or a critique, I will leave to the individual to decide... It was an entertaining page-turner and served it's purpose of providing a distraction while I was reading it everyday at lunch, but it certainly wasn't the best book I've come across. There were plot lines and characters that seemed superfluous and served only to confuse me, however the topic and the pacing were quite interesting. My biggest critique of this book has to be the romance between Daniel and Gaille. Seriously, if I thought a man was my father's lover and was involved in his death & the death of our relationship, it would take quite a lot of relationship building to find myself suddenly in love with the guy myself... She goes from hating him to being in love with him with no hashing out of the problems between them or any significant building of their relationship. It just read as implausible and hastily thrown together for the sake of the belief that we (the readers) can't care about a main character unless they have a love interest.
This book has been an outstanding resource. It could be that I was fortunate enough to work with Katherine both at CEL in July and again at NESA in Jordan. She is amazing. I plan to turn to this text for support for years to come.
Another great read by Delinsky!! "In the idyllic small town of Tucker, Vermont, life flows at a rhythmic pace for pediatrician Paige Pfeiffer. But when Mara O'Neill, her best friend and medical partner, inexplicably kills herself, Paige's comfortable world is suddenly shattered. Temporarily caring for Mara's newly adopted baby daughter while she comes to grips with her grief, Paige clings to the hope that, in time, her orderly life will return. What she hadn't counted on were the unexpected pleasures that often come with change, including the touch of a man who offers Paige things she never thought she wanted. She hadn't counted on finding the meaning of life in the death of a friend."
I loved this book and I hated it. I loved the story, the plot, the interactions. But I hated that the characters were so young! If they were teenagers, I would have been fine, but I didn't like to see children being robbed of their sweetness and it irked me the entire book.
For anyone who's a fan of 24, this is a definite book for you. It details the exploits of Jack Bauer as he has to fight off 2 terrorist threats to the city, one is a bio-weapon threat, the other a threat to the lives of 2 world leaders. The bio-weapon mentioned is a rather nasty one, that can potentially kill its victims in 12-24 hours. It goes through the full 24 hour period to wrap up the case just like in the show.
