If you are a fan of the sisterhood as I am and have read the others you will definitely find this to be the happiest ever. You know that Myra and Charles have finally gotten married and now there is going to be more happy things occurring to the girls. Love at last and what about freedom.
We know that Lizzie Fox is sly as one and when she makes a promise to help the girls get the pardons they deserve all kind of different situations occur. We find someone is going to have a baby and someone is going to be able to stop sneaking around with the person they love. This is by far the best of the group and if I could I would give it a ten star review not a five. You are going to love it and you'll be hooked if you missed any others on reading them to find out what is going on with the girls.
Everyone has something happen to them and for once you wont be disappointed as it is all good things but to find out go out and get your copy you wont be sorry.

I have read all of the "Sisterhood" series and this one is by far one of the best. I can't wait until Oct. for #18. The use of all of the characters in this book was by far the best and there were no slow or boring parts. Thanks again for a great read Fern.

I have read all the Sisterhood books and this book rates among the highest. Of course, I loved the first ones the best.

Someone gave me this book because they thought I would enjoy it and I did, with the exception that there should have been a warning on the cover... you need to read the other books first! I fear unless you have read the previous Sisterhood series you will too. It's like being at a party where you know no one and you are not introduced to the other guests and they are all telling a rollicking story of what has happened to them beforehand.
Seven women who are wonderful friends have helped elect a woman president who has promised them a pardon. The president takes too long to grant this pardon and they gather friends and husbands as allies in getting that pardon so they can resume their lives.
I read the whole book and had to go on assumptions because you are never told who these women are, you figure out they are rich and then you wonder what have they done that they need pardoning from the president who they got elected. This all could have been solved if there was a short introduction and a list of the characters and who they are. This is done in many books that are written in series form without too much disorder in the story line. It's hard to feel emotions and caring for these people without knowing them and their real bonds with each other.
I just felt left out...asking who are these people? What have they done? I really wanted to know them and enjoy the story instead of standing by like an unwelcome guest.

Knowing they are "duds", Myra and Charles cut off their honeymoon to return to the Sisterhood when they learn that her friend and advisor Lizzie Fox is being considered for an appointment to the Supreme Court. The Sisterhood fears that the deserving White House Legal Counsel will be put through an unfair meat grinder to gain political points due mostly to Lizzie's association with them.

Although not quite as worried, as they are about Lizzie, the members are afraid their presidential pardon will vanish as politics as usual will prevail. However, as they monitor events as only the Sisterhood could, they begin to uncover a conspiracy to use Fox and the Sisterhood to destroy the Administration.

Although over the top of the Cayman Islands, Big Pine Mountain and the Washington Monument, the seventeenth Sisterhood thriller is an exciting entry that sums up the values of the members of "one for all and all for one" (Dumas). The group risks all their hard work to be pardoned to insure their loyal "affiliate" gets a fair shake. Fans of the saga will appreciate their latest intervention as protecting Lizzie soon turns into protecting the Administration.

I have enjoyed all of the Sisterhood books, hope this it not the last one.

This book, Game Over, is one of a 16 book series. I have read all of the Sisterhood Series and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. In fact, Fern Michaels is my favorite author. I have read almost every book she has written. You can never go wrong when reading a Fern Michael's book. If you like dogs you will especially want to read her books. She always puts in a dog or two to add to the stories. She also donates much of the profits from her books to animal shelters, police departments for the K-9 patrols, as well as many other animal charities. Give Fern Michaels a try, you won't regret it.

If you like the sisterhood series you will enjoy this next novel. I couldn't put it down; I loved the next installation of the series. Josie

I have enjoyed the first 7 of the sisterhood series but the last just seem to slide downhill faster with each book published. IMHO its time to let the sisterhood retire and live happly ever after. check this book out of the library, i don't recommend buying it.

I enjoyed this book although I am not sure if the Sisterhood is over or not. The book did not end as I thought it would and like most of Fern Micheals they end rather fast without tying up all the loose ends--giving the author space to go on to the next book. But will always buy more of Ms. Michaels' books.
