1.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't find any substance in this book!, April 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Criminal Justice (Paperback)

This book is one of the worst I've read! Ms. Parker must have an excellent publicist to be a bestselling author. The characters weren't at all believable, and I didn't "care" about any of them throughout the entire book. The story didn't make sense either, it seemed to just ramble and never became believable from any angle. Ms. Parker obviously writes from a formula, and does a poor job. I'm sorry I spent good money on this trash.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise after the overwraught emotions of A & G, September 3, 2002

By 

Chan McDermott - See all my reviews

This review is from: Criminal Justice (Paperback)

I bought this book on a lark and really wasn't sure what to think when I picked it up, since I had read a number of the Anthony & Gail books and was worn out by them: tired of the emotional roller coaster, tired of the crisis-driven plot, tired of two so-called adult attorneys behaving so boorishly. I found Criminal Justice to be a delight -- the plot was just snappy enough, the reactions and emotions realistic and for the most part, the dialogue true. I agree that the character development was lacking a bit (so, I went ahead and developed them on my own, mentally, while reading), but if that was the price I had to pay to avoid the overdevelopment of some of Parker's other characters, it was worth it. I will definitely seek out Parker's other non-series books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic plot, October 4, 1998

This review is from: Criminal Justice (Paperback)

I loved this book. The main character Dan Galindo was so likable that I can't wait for Parker to write another book featuring him. The plot and characters kept me from putting this book down; a real page-turner.
