A surprise boring poorly written book with so much of it unnecessary.  I skimmed most of it and as happy to be done.

I COULDN'T EVEN FINISH IT.  IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST BORING BOOK EVER. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF ANY INTEREST HAPPENED.  I MANAGED TO STAY WTH IT UNTIL HALFWAY THOUGH THE BOOK.  NEVER GIVE UP TOO QUICKLY ON A BOOK BUT THIS ONE AMOUNTED TO NOTHING OF INTEREST. IT JUST  WASN'T HAPPENING. MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT IT WAS THE TITLE, THE RESCUE.  I THOUGHT THAT ALONE MEANT SOMETHING WAS GOING TO
POP OUT AND SPARK AN INTEREST.  IT DIDN'T. I WISH I COULD GET MY MONEY BACK.  AS A RETIREE I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO THROW AWAY AS I DID ON THIS BOOK.

I didn't expect much as far as in depth writing. I figured it would be light, upbeat and include many laughs. Turns out this might be one of the most boring and frustrating books I've read.

Long rambling BORING stories with the author coming across as the wounded party in everything. From poor misunderstood southern girl in her home state to poor misunderstood southern girl in other states. Her thinking of herself as a rebel deb is beyond laughable. It started out slow and never got any better. I really had to force myself to finish this book. It's one of those books where the whole time you're reading it you actually question how this person actually got published.

I'm glad I only paid 50 for it at a thrift store. Even that was a waste of money not to mention the time reading it. Save your money and your time for much better books and skip this one. You'll thank me.

Every boring stereotype glommed into one book. Let's see... the hero is a self-healing, devastatingly handsome alien who is really black ops and under cover as a serial-cheating, pro-football player. The heroine is an emotionally-hurt-since-childhood assassin who's every word and action has to do with ripping some body part off of someone... but wait, she's also a physician and former agent.  Together they are either killing something or having sex. Yes, that's it, the whole story in a nutshell. Could this be any more laughable?  Zero plot, just one-dimensional characters and constant combative babble.  Disguises how really violent it is with humor and fantasy. Has the depth of a video-game, if that's all you are looking for.  Most books are recycled. This one went straight to trash.

This book had a story line that I've heard before and could've been told in half the pages the author used. I was bored to the point of anger and stopped reading at 68% on my reader. I told my husband, this is absolutely ridiculous, the two main characters haven't spoken to each other and I'm half way done with the book. What the author did do and someone should've stopped her was tell us every stupid thought the characters had. If  Amazon had a refund policy on bad books this would be at the top of my list.

This book was so boring I got half way through with it and put it down. All the author did was throw court transcripts in it and called it a "book."

Without a doubt one of the worst books I have ever read. Not only is it badly written and badly edited, but the storyline itself is boring, really just an exercise in hate from a man who married the wrong woman. He says he doesn't hate women, but some of his stereotypes in the book would belie that. It is just a very boring story, that I think the writer thinks is funny but just isn't. it smacks of trying too hard to be funny. It is far fetched at times (for example he would have us believe that he is too big to fit into their tiny toilet and so he has to pee from the hallway - however i assume he manged to make it in there for number twos??? - speaking of his size - he repeats over and over that he works out at the gym - we get it already, you think that you are hot and fit). This couple apparently shower together to save water costs, and hate every second of it, but manage to waste money on various luxury items in the next sentence, it makes no sense and you will have no sympathy for either character. Don't waste your money buying this, it is self serving and annoying.

This is the most boring book I have read by Picoult.

I'm sorry, but this story was ridiculous. A family with eleven children, all named after spices. A town that has Husband Games and survives by being the wedding Bliss capital. The silliness of mental swear jars and a villain nicknamed Queen General. So boring and vomit-inducing cutesy,  I honestly couldn't make it through this tripe. I've been going through these free Kindle romance books for a couple weeks now, about one a day, and this is the first one I had to give up on.

This was a tiresome awful book. The lengthy descriptions of France cleaning every nook and crevice in the house could put you to sleep. Descriptions of getting the bath tub ready. I couldn't finish the book. The main characters were one dimensional and boring. I can understu why Len yawned so often.

How the author made any money off this book is mind blowing! This has to be the longest and most boring book I have ever read and I love reading! Never thought the movie would out do the book. I keep reading hoping it will get better but it doesn't! Bridget eats like 2,000 calories a day, smoke constantly, drinks alcohol like a fish and says at 123 pounds she's fat! Way for a teenager to feel good about themselves if they read this trash. There is no humor in this book it's depressing! She's not witty and no mother acts how this author portrays any mother to be. The book is 307 pages might as well be 1,000 how boring it is. Save your money. I want my money back

This is the most boring thing I have ever tried reading.  The author just keeps on hitting repeat over and over again. The characters are too stuck on themselves to be able to get past it. Worst book I have ever read and not recommended at all.

Ugh. Not only is it REALLY boring, but the characters are all garbage, and the world building makes no sense. There is nothing worthwhile in this book, unless you like shallow characters and a world that just makes no sense. To the author, you don't need to remind the reader of the premise at the open of every chapter. The CONSTANT, POINTLESS BICKERING of the female caricatures of tropes don't let you forget about the stupidity of the setting for a moment. Gods, I wish I could have the time I spent slogging though the first 40% of this book back.

The review is under my husbands name but this is a woman reviewing the book.  This book is so sophomoric and predicable but I kept reading thinking SOMETHING was going to happen.  It is written on a third grade reading level and the characters are literally perfect in every aspect of their lives with no interesting surprises or twists.  I love a good beach read but this was probably the most boring book I ever read.  Want a good fun summer book read Mary Alice Monroe's beach books.  The characters are way more interesting!

Ugh...This book was incredibly boring.  It drags on for 489 pages.  Much could have been cut from it.  The author also apparently never learned "show, don't tell".  She repeats basically the same things over and over again.  For instance, the mother of Niclas is subservient to her husband.  I get it.  Why, in one passage alone, does she have to tell me this almost twenty times?  The characters are  one dimensional cliches.  I also figured out the murderer at the beginning of the book.  The passages are constantly jumping from one cliched character to another and do so so frequently that its annoying.  Also, the writing is bad.  Really bad.  Full of cliches like characters trying to clear cobwebs from their brains, running their fingers through tousled heads of hair, etc.  I actually wondered at one point how a book written by a foreign author could have so many American cliches in it so I'm wondering if the translator is partly to blame?  Won't read another one by this author and wondering how a book so poorly written and just plain bad could have been published, let alone a high seller.

What the heck did I just read? This book was so boring. All of the "exciting" plot in the description, well that's as much plot as there is in the books too. The rest is multi-page descriptions of the rippling in the water created by trout. Are you here for character development? Out of luck. The protagonist starts out kind of ballsy and becomes shrill and one-note. Is she curious about how she travelled in time? Not really. Is she having any interesting dilemmas adjusting to the new environment? Not really. The romantic interest meanwhile starts out as the most annoying puppy dog of a character ever committed to page. He might as well not have a brain or tongue because his only use seems to be taking beatings for other people. And the only thing said about him is that he's handsome. Well it's a book, so that doesn't help me much. He then somehow turns into a dude completely willing to beat and rape the wife he's supposed to be madly in love with. And that my friend brings me to the last point. How is this relationship romantic? Girlfriend has an adoring, handsome British SPY husband at home. I don't care about the cheating like some reviewers, Jamie's hot and her husband won't be born for 200 years. But girl, pull it together, you do not fall in love with the 23 year old virgin meathead who beats you with a belt. Don't do it. Run away. Run, Claire, run. But then her inner monologue is so tediously boring that maybe they're meant for each other.

This book started as a fun easy "chick lit" read. Then, somewhere after the fourth chapter, I just simply lost interest.  Yes, I understand the author is in Finance but the constant and unending references to the fall of Bear Stears, Lehman and how a Hedgefund operates was chore to read. The title and cover was definitely misleading.

I found the Author mimicking people with Hispanic and Asian accents to be plain sophomoric and offensive. Of course the only female character in this book who was actually educated, smart and grounded was the Jewish character, Sasha Silver. All the rest were vapid WASPs out of touch with reality, Hispanic housekeepers and Asian manicurist who speak broken English. The one African American woman hails from the ghetto (of course) but winds up being educated in one of the finest private schools in Manhattan... on a scholarship, of course. Cliche anyone? Boring!

This book is full of cliches and boring lessons in finance.
