4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Whodunit, April 19, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Street Smart : A Thriller (Hardcover)

The book seemed to barely scratch the surface of character description, although the behind-the-scenes activities of the glamourous life were greatly elaborated upon to make up for this. If the ending had somehow tied up the ends a little nicer and not put Max back at square one, I think I wouldve liked it better. The ending just seemed bittersweet and stuck with nowhere else to go. Furthermore, greater description about Saskia growing up might have made it easier to see why she developed so differently from Max. Its an easy read and predictable, but is still enjoyable.

I would have given this book 5 stars except for the ending, which I found disapointing. Yes, the novel's mystery is solved but the hero ends up where he started. That is not my idea of the ending this book deserved. The look into the world of a major fashion magazine was terrific. Good characters and a plot that kept me guessing. The author writes very well. If only the ending showed some progress or some promise for the main character! Glad I read it, anyway.

This review is from: Street Smart : A Thriller (Hardcover)

I wasn't at all impressed. The writing style is shallow with poorly developed characters. The main character's sister dies as an apparent suicide which everyone who knew her can't understand and he never calls the police who are invetigating the case to question them. Even when he learns she was strangled he barely reacts and doesn't take an interest in the investigation. Incident after incident occurs to which any normal person of average intelligence would react. He and his new main squeeze just stroll through the story barely paying attention as their world comes apart around them. The only reason I finished the book instead of quitting in the middle was curiosity as to weather the author ever got these two to do something! It sure was a fast read because all I had to do was skim the pages. The writing wasn't interesting enough to bother reading every word. I sure am glad I didn't waste my money buying this book ( I checked it out of the library)
