She Tried but not enough!

I personaly agree with must of thing that she's saying in the book but but it seems like she didn't have enough information (lack of source ) in this book.
another good book in this subject : Shadow's of the 3rd century ( read this and then decide for your self)

OK, but the verve and intensity of her Harry Potter books exposes her interest in diversity but lack of conviction.
Hope she tries again and is more finely tuned to what she does best.

Too much bragging!!!  Over all I felt she was trying to be perfect, and always winning in competition with men. She put a few feel sorry for me moments in  to make her seem normal and as one of us.  After watching her in the news I don't think the book was a true picture of who she really is.

I wanted to climb through my Ipad, and shake her!  How long it took her to move on.......painful.  And she surely didn't give credence to her dear friends who just wanted to help.

I really wanted to love this book.  I LOVE the premise!  I definitely think that Present over Perfect is a concept that needs to be spread across our culture, but I totally think that she fails to present it effectively.  She has this revelation that she wants more time of swimming in fabulous coves of Hawaii with her young children and spend more time at her family lake house... ummm...  good for her!  She decides that she needs to give up her high profile speaking schedule to spend more time at home.  Great for her!  Her family will benefit from those decisions...  but she is in a privileged position that very few of us can relate to.  From what I  have seen, if you are a woman in a household of about $150K+ who is overwhelmed by making sure you have kids who are involved in everything, the showcase house, trendy clothes, perfect highlights and you stress over what everyone else thinks of you, this seems to be the book for you.  I walked away from most of that thinking a decade ago, so I had a hard time relating.

Wow! Take a breath! Use more commas! Something. Reading this is exhausting. She just goes on and on and on...she needs to say something besides how snarky and/or clumsy and/or unlucky and/or foot-in-mouth and/or how much she hates Christmas. Say something. Slowly. With meaning.
I quit half-way through because I just couldn't take the monologue. I might try again when I am on a sugar high and have the energy because I think it could be funny. I think.

The story could have been much shorter. It seemed to drag.  It ended abruptly which not much detail.  I  would probably give her writing another try.

I read a lot of her books because they are cheap,  however sometimes she get a little too complicate in her plots.  Too many plots going on. She needs to stick to one  or maybe 2 and spend a little more time with them.

Too much negativity for too long. I would have liked a little encouragement that there was something that was going to turn out well for her. I got the point about the problems with the system!

I really thought that Mariah will have a showdown with  Celine "the Magician" (because of her dress) in one song but it did not happen. you know why coz Celines fans will be disappointed if she agrees. Mariah will crush her into pieces! celine shouts the songs..... but Mariah does it more naturally without any effort! so does Aretha which is overwhelming! Gloria and Shania didn't shine very much but was one great adventure. GO MARIAH!!!!!!!

I loved her other books but this one just fell short. I read this free on Kindle Library but I hate when reading a story and it ends at 75%. The rest was just filler for another one of the authors other books.

The writing was great and it was told in 4 POVs which I didn't mind. But we never really got much character development and her slime-ball husband needing a lashing, but he never did get one.

This book would have been better if it was just a little longer or taken out one part of the story that involved the daughter. It just had too many stories in one book.

Frankly, there just wasn't enough.  I've read that the Queen does have a wicket wit, but this book wasn't quite what I expected.

The best of the book was the final chapter.  I got so tired or waiting for Margie to stop running, hiding, lying and being the opposite of who she could have been if written as the character I envision.  She lived through so much in service to her country.  She was a woman who Prayed and claimed Faith yet none of her Doctor's offered Hope from that strength.  I get the times, the struggles before PTSD was acknowledged.  With so many dealing with these things for years in many cases, more positive could have been showcased in my opinion.  I wanted to know Wade better.  From her second pregnancy the story was all but over.  Less sex described, less F words to me these added nothing to the story.  I can't give more stars even though there was potential that this book could have been so much more to the readers.

Without giving the story away, I felt like the story was too fast and short for them to develop their relationship. There needed to be more in the chase to showcase her skills and the dire situation. There wasn't any follow-up. The "big boss" told Tino to fix it but then the big boss wasn't mentioned again. The book could have used a few more chapters. I will read more in the series when available since I loved her other books.

After reading The Cove and The Maze, I was anticipating The Target to have Coulter's signature style. There didn't seem to be enough history or depth to each character in this book like her previous books with Lacey Sherlock, James Quinlan and how can we forget Dillon Savich. Judge Ramsey Hunt could have been the hero readers would have "swooned" over, unfortunately there were times when his actions were just too hard to believe! How can a JUDGE discover a child that was physically abused and not go to the authorities? Realizing the child cannot speak was a spark for the beginning of a flame, but that was quenched too early in the book. Coulter tried to incorporate Sherlock and Savich into the cast, but it seemed that by adding them in was an attempt to keep you reading so you wouldn't just put the book down. The plot tried to thicken with "Who could have done it?" unfortunately it came up with TOO many people to point the finger at. There is a GREAT story to read in the pages of The Target, too bad in never manifested itself completely.
