Rubbish (zero stars), 22 Jul 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book based on some favourable on-line reviews but I didn't get past the first chapter. I suspect those other reviews were written either by the author or her friends and relatives. Apart from being badly written this book is written in the first person perspective and that character is supposed to be a rough and tough rigger working on a construction site. However it reads like a book written by a woman who is imagining what goes through the mind of such a guy rather than actually by a guy who can actually relate to these experiences. And that is in fact the case, the author is a woman named S.J.Rozan. However, I suspect that if she wrote a novel on a subject that she actually had some empathy for, it would still be terrible, as she can't write.

Don't waste your time reading this sad excuse for a thriller, 26 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: No Colder Place (Lydia Chin, Bill Smith Mystery) (Hardcover)

What a waste of time. The author has no conception of writing thrillers. I guess she never heard of Michael Connolly or James Lee Burke who write fine prose, intricate plots and meaningful characters. If she reads this review, she should get acquainted with them!

Great Read!, 20 Nov 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: No Colder Place (Lydia Chin, Bill Smith Mystery) (Hardcover)

This is the fourth in the Lydia Chin/Bill Smith series and I liked it as much as the first three. I like the way Rozan switches the point of view of each book, the first from Lydia's view the second from Bill's etc. It is a clever hook and works very well. The books (Concourse and No Colder Place) from Bill's view have a decidedly harder edge. Rozan keeps her characters fresh and sharp. Hope she continues for a long time!
