by Rene Natan
This is C/T/M/H book about a young man called Patrick Carter, who rescued a girl which was drowning in a cold river. He takes her home. Her name is Samantha and her family, especially her grandmother which takes care of her, is very grateful. But for Patrick the trouble is just beginning. The girl was deliberately thrown into the water by unknown men. The bad boys noticed that Patrick saved her and begin to chase him too. Patrick becomes a friend with the family and assists the police in detecting of the criminals. In the meantime he fell in love with a beautiful police woman named Emy...
An average book with a good idea and plot at the beginning, but later in the book my disappointment was growing bigger and bigger. The book is neat and transparent, every chapter starts on a new page and the chapters are quite short and very readable, for those that read the book with the pauses. The title of the book is completely wrong.
I like an idea of the book, a stranger who saves a young girl from a certain death and puts in jeopardy his life. I like the characters, a description of them is so detailed that I could imagine them to the details and identify them with the real characters in my life. However, I don’t like a culmination of the story, I imagined a completely different outcome. The fate of the characters is determined by a totally illogical way. Also I do not like the title of the book because it can’t be connected with the story in the book. At the beginning, I did not want to read the book because of the title, it sounds so boring and non attractive, does not associates me of the action, and the book is full of it.
One thing that is very strange is a lack of uncertainty and upheaval. While I read the book, I expected some uncertainty. However, everything I thought it would be happened, happened without any surprises and reversals and every book should be full of it, because that holds the readers in suspense and forcing them to read a book further.
This is a type of the book that, if you pause the reading, you do not have a desire to continue to read it because everything is so logical and boring, there is no twists and surprises, so you will not miss much if you do not continue to read. I am reviewing this book with 2 out of 4 stars. A Little better plot, a much more uncertain outcome and higher score would be given. Like this, the book is nothing special and nothing in it stands out.
