Obsession Nora Roberts ebook Reviews Summary

Plot Development

Pros:

• "It started off so interesting and as soon as I got past the sample I felt like I was reading a completely different plot."
• "Second reading of this book. Loved it the first time, & loved it the second time."
• "Charming, page-turning and a relaxing evening read. Like having your favourite meal with a glass of wine or two, in a comfortable chair on the deck."
• "This story makes me wonder how other children of murderers and serial killers have faired in the world."
• "I loved the story that went from a horrible childhood experience and learning how to move on in life after it."
• "This book had it all. I read this in three days. Great characters, shocking, suspenseful and interesting novel."
• "Loved this book. A little girl inadvertently discovers her father is a monster, a serial killer."
• "The story grabs you immediately and never lets go. Exceptional writing, characters with so much depth and personality, and a phenomenal plot."

Cons:

• "It was so incredibly boring and predictable."
• "The love story could have been great, but ultimately fell short of the mark. I read 322 pages before I decided the book was just too long & too many details."
• "Although well written enough for me to finish, I predicted the ending about 2/3 of the way through the book and was annoyed to find I guessed correctly."
• "The entirety of the rest was just so much filler that didn’t meet the drama of the opening chapter."
• "The story started out strong and kept me reading. Boring and predictable book."
• "I wish I could edit this book. It was almost like it was done by her notes and never put into actual sentence and paragraph structure."
• "This book is a fast read for your flight so you do not have to engage more than one synapse and then POOF you land at your destination."
• "It’s an easy read and not horrible, but there is just nothing interesting about it. The first part starts strong, but then it becomes super predictable and boring."

Character Development

Pros:

• "I’ve read for years and not until this book did I have one fall apart. Loved the story."
• "It should come as no surprise that her book is written page turning perfectly!!"
• "Ms. Roberts took all of my favorites and wove them into a great read; remodeling, antiques, romance, suspense & and good dog."
• "What I love about Nora Roberts books is how they bring to vivid life the minutiae of her characters."
• "I love anything Nora Roberts writes and this book is no exception."
• "So good to have a crime drama actually focus on healing and growth and love."
• "Oh, this book! I want more from these amazing characters!"
• "One of the best books I've read in a while, suspense, romance & laugh out loud moments."

Cons:

• "Hilarious (not in a good way) hero love interest had me chuckling because he was so boilerplate."
• "Fussy fussy sweet gay uncles who stereotypically and two dimensionally swoop in like the gay best uncle."
• "The first part starts strong, but then it becomes super predictable and boring. And the characters are so flat and stereotypical."
• "The Obsession started out well, but it went downhill from there."
• "I wish they'd make a series out of the In Death books. I keep casting the characters in my mind."
• "The beginning of this book was really good, and the storyline seem promising, but by the time I got to the middle of the book it became very boring."
• "At first I was completely confused as I thought I was reading two books at the same time."
• "My first Roberts novel, really disappointed. Found the end underwhelming, the dialogue completely unrealistic."
