1.0 out of 5 stars THEIR WORST BOOK EVER!!!!!, February 5, 2005

By 

Hollis F. Neutz - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Real Mother: A Novel (Hardcover)

I have never written a review before. I am an avid reader and have read Judith Michaels books for years. This book is so bad I feel compelled to let other people know. I was so dissapointed in this book that I couldn't even finish it. The language was so foul. It is written so poorly and in such an immature fashion. This book has no depth. This book is offensive and a waste of time. It reads like they had to get a book out really fast to make a house payment or pay off some bills. I am so upset that I spent money on the hardcover version that I am going to try and find their website and let them know how offensive this book is. They have written such great stuff in the past and I was so happy when I saw a new book by them. I feel angry that they wrote such trash and had the nerve to actually put it in the book stores. No matter what you do, don't buy this book. It would be a waste of your hard earned money. I wish someone had warned me.
Thanks for listening.

2.0 out of 5 stars My Least Favorite Judith Michael book, August 1, 2005

By 

BookwormLD (Upstate NY, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Real Mother: A Novel (Hardcover)

I finished the book because I wanted to see how everything shook out in the end, but I skimmed large swaths of pages. As other reviewers have written, there were too many unanswered questions and too many plot points that just didn't make enough sense. And I was irritated by the irritating way Sara's irritable brother Mack spoke. (Yes, I'm parodying it in the previous sentence.) No one talks that way! And in this day and age, given its slang meaning, who would name a character "Pussy" in a work of mainstream fiction?

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, December 14, 2005

I wish I read these reviews before I wasted my money! Offensive and boring. I liked their books before but I guess they are going downhill. Save your money.
