A rewrite of another's book.

I couldn't get through it. The writing was like listening to someone talk in third person. When I saw quotes/definitions from Wikipedia that was it. Wikipedia is editable by anyone. It is a good place for gathering some information, but not for a reference.

I felt I was reading a rehash of the story over and over again. I guess that is one way to fill a book.

Anytime I see a book with a new slant on Laura, I want to see what is new these many years after her death.  The author had a connection with Laura same as me.  Most of the material I had read before but the political slant was new.  The author or editor needs to remove some of the repetitions.

In response to the previous reviewer, the book cover has been corrected, with sincere apologies.  You can contact cris10a@cristinaolsen.com for a replacement copy.

If you still buy into all the myths about writing from non-writers (English teachers, Lit professors, agents, publishers, et al) you won't believe this is possible. It Is. And this is not a rough draft or something he wrote so he could rewrite it later. This is a finished, published novel under contract with a New York publisher.

I ordered three books from this author: (1) Ordered to Return, (2) My life after dying, (3) Return from tomorrow.  The author wrote the first book, and then added a bit to the second book and repeated what was in the first book, and then wrote the third book, added a little more info and copied what the other two books said. He would be a lot better if he just wrote one book and told us everything instead of writing three books.

The book itself was good, but I realize it was "used", but this book had writing in it and highlighting...... it wasn't that cheap either.

It's a really good book, but you should know that it's a re-tittle of a former book. I bought this tittle by mistake, not knowing that it was previously released a "Burning Ghats"; a book I already own. There should be a warning in the description to let customers know it'a the same book. A great read, but no need to buy it again if you already own it.

This author's books are not so good they deserve twice or more per book. I am giving this a one star for the rip off that it is.

I had it mixed up with another book.  I would give it 4 stars since I enjoyed the book.

There is nothing new here in this book that has not already been said! Why does the author find that he needs to rehash what he has already written in two previous excellent publications, and submit it as a new title?

Dissapointed reader..

A little too much rehashing of what had happened before, and back peddling in general. Like another reviewer, a little too much graphic sexual detail for my liking. As an adult, I definitely know what goes on behind closed doors but like to have things left up to my imagination to some degree. Imagination can take me in so many differeng journeys in how the next book (or books??) could progress in this ongoing story. I hope that there is more editing to remove unneccessary redundancy.  The author may wish to have each book stand alone, which explains some of the initial revisiting of a prior story line, but it was to an excess in this book, IMHO.

Well, I first rated this as pretty good. And it is a good story. But, it's just a remake of the Drizzt books. If you liked them, you'll like these books.  But, especially by the second book, it's so obvious that the author pieced together parts of different Drizzt books.

It is part of a trilogy hence a repeat of some pages what I had already read in the other books. That was a bit annoying.

Lots of repeating by this man not only in the book but from one book to the other by the same author. Interesting thought though

Barnes can write an interesting sentence all right but, I felt like this was a reworking of old ideas to sell one more book
