2.0 out of 5 stars Chunks of drivel, September 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hellcat (Paperback)

Considering the simplicity of the plot, it is surprising that the book could have been as thick as it was.
If I had physically cut out all the insignificant paragraphs I could not help skimming over, or perhaps should have, I'm sure the book would only be about 2 pages long.
Obviously most books are really like that, and without descriptions and frills, no books would be worth reading. This one was alright, but considering its length, a lot of boring drivel could have been cut out, and the plot could have been more complicated.
I couldn't put it down though, if that's a positive side, and I read it all in 4 hours. It entertained me for one afternoon, but only because I was hanging out for something - which a baby could have predicted anyway.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hellcat is hellishly awful!, October 17, 2000

Amanda Kingsley is obviously a romance writer slumming it in the horror genre. Her approach to the material is so breathlessly melodramatic that it makes the book into a bad parody of a horror novel, what a waste. This is book is so bad that I am incapable of recommending it to even my worst enemies.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Example of Why I Don't Like Reading Thrillers Written by Female Authors., September 8, 2011

Even if it wasn't incredible stupid, it's simply not in the least bit scary. This is a 20-page short story masquerading as a 400 page novel. And the ending you could very easily predict from the first page - right out of the Joe Eszterhas hack school of writing - something any primary school teacher worth his/her salt would give a D grade to.
A 20-page chapter of the main character (annoying female - or course) getting stood up at the movies and deciding to see Pretty Woman anyway. Yeah, sure, that warrants 800 words. Bravo.
