Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Though five teenage hikers are caught in a flash flood, nothing else happens quickly in this plodding novel, first in a projected trilogy. The teens include narrator Jet; her best friend, Neil, and his Australian-born girlfriend; Dwayne, Jet's "wannabe boyfriend," a big-hearted but oafish fellow who can't even remember her correct name; and Bill, a creepy ex-schoolmate with a tendency to display "feral" facial expressions. As luck would have it, Jet is reunited first with the diabolical Bill after they are all separated by the flood. The novel takes a turn for the crass as Bill, whom Jet suspects is a schizophrenic serial killer, begins making sexual advances which even the reappearance of Dwayne doesn't quash ("'I'm inside your head. I may as well be inside your panties, too, right?'"). Though long in arriving, the abrupt ending is as incredible as the rest of this slight drama. Ages 12-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Suspenseful book, March 30, 2001
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
Jeanette is a humorous character who has a pycho obsessed with her since age 5 and a hunky quarterback who loves her. The problem is, she doesn't like either of them (who WOULD like boy #1???) She goes on a hiking trip only to be stuck with the both of them and still she hasn't figured out Bill's true intent, but as the book goes along she starts noticing some strange stuff about him, things she never noticed as a child. Her two best friends are there, (whom she originally planned the trip with) but not anymore as the nearby dam caves in and they are all swept down the river. Jeanette is left alone, though feels someone is watching her. (Who COULD it be, who COULD it be???) If I told you more I would give the whole book away. Alone with a murderer, what will Jeanette do to survive? I truly liked this book. The main character was likeable with a sense of humor, despite the curcumstances. The book was totally unpredictable, and I am DYING to get the next two!!! Yes, I'm desperate!!!! Whatever copies you have (of the next two), I will buy them!!! Thanx in advance, generationgirl9009@hotmail.com
