Book Reviews of Outer Banks
Book Review: A disappointing read
Summary: 2 Stars
I've always enjoyed Siddon's descriptions of the locations and milieu of the characters in her books, and this one continues at a high level on that score. But the plot line was not engaging. Very slow. I kept waiting for something intriguing to happen, as it does in other of her books. I'd skip this one and read another of Anne Rivers Siddon's wonderful books.Book Review: Why did anyone do anything?
Summary: 1 Stars
Kate apparently couldn't make up her mind. About whom to love, whom to befriend, whom to trust, whom to screw. She seems to drift along attaching herself to others, hoping they will give her an identity. The only thing she does really well is cry. At the drop of a hat. I have noticed crying in all Siddons' books. Crying seems to substitute for deep emotion. Mild emotion. Slight emotion. UP ISLAND was better, but Siddons never seems to lose her Southern Belle persona, wherever she may place her characters.Book Review: Gimme a Break
Summary: 1 Stars
How can the publisher call Kate and Fig friends? Kate was mean to Fig. She did not behave in a friendly manner at all. I think Kate was a stuck-up wench and a spoiled brat. But then, Fig was not much better. Siddons did not develop any of the characters well either. We lose Cecie for hundreds of pages, and then catch up on her whole post-college life in two sentences. I have read other Siddons books, and I must say, this one was deeply disappointing.Book Review: Feh!
Summary: 1 Stars
This has to be my least favorite ARS book. What a disaster. The characters were all way overblown and stereotyped, and everyone just seemed so darn shallow. I like the comment that it seemed like Stephen King finished the book. Very true. Overall, a giant "feh"!Skip this book.
Book Review: Started well, ended poorly
Summary: 1 Stars
The beginning was captivating and engrossing. Unfortunately, it soon turned into Psycho Sorority Queen on a Rampage. It's almost like Siddons asked Stephen King to finish the book.
