I have a guest review of Seaswept Abandon by Jo Goodman up at The Good, The Bad and The Unread. It’s the 2nd book in her McClellan Family trilogy.
This may be a bit shocking, so brace yourself. This is the first ever Jo Goodman review where I am not going to gush. Not that I didn’t like it. It just wasn’t what I have come to expect when I pick up a Goodman book. I’m not disillusioned. Not yet anyway. I figure every author deserves a second chance. Or a third. Or a fourth. [Ed.: Float your cursor over the cover to see some 1980’s cover goodness.]
Seaswept Abandon had one plot device that I really dislike. Amnesia. There’s some cases where it works (Mirror Image by Sandra Brown), but in this case I really didn’t like it. Of course I continued to read the book and tried to be unbiased. This worked…for the most part.
Read the rest of my review here.
What? A Jo Goodman that Casee doesn’t like? Is there such a thing?
=).
I have tried to find some of the books you recc’d Casee, and I can’t find them either in my (sucky) library or my bookstore. I have to order one, but I am trying to hold out and see if the library comes through.
