TAKING EVE by Iris Johansen ***

Wow, my precious precious Eve gets nabbed by a maniac who (hahahaha) wants her to sculpt his dead murderous son's head. I can't help laughing thru most of this book. Girl talks to feral cats, dogs living longer than supposed to, CIA and FBI morons hiding criminals because of some stupid tapes Doane/Haller(?) uses for blackmail but the CIA can't get them altho they are hiding him in a safe house. From the safe house he kidnaps poor Eve who is beloved by her ghost daughter, her boyfriend or husband Joe, her adopted daughter plain Jane, Margret, Caleb who is so addictive to Jane she creams her jeans over him all the time but is scared of him at the same time.

People do NOT talk as portrayed in the book, it makes everything so childish and inane. It's like watching a movie and just before anyone gets shot they have time to spill their guts, then something switches order and the guy gets arrested. Like TV drama shows. So dramatic all thru the book, "She whirled on Venable (CIA), and said fiercely, 'It could have been Eve damn you Venable. Joe said you know more about this than you're telling him. You talk to us.'" LOL

Most of the characters are either so good they wear angel halos or so bad and cunning they can kill with the thrill of a hunter. This whole thing is unbelievable. Literally. Don't like it much I think it's for teenagers or something. Not for adults that's for sure.

This book has no ending you must buy or borrow the next book to see what happens. Drama, drama, drama and all the queens you need. I shall continue on the second book cuz like an idiot I picked it up with this one. Reading till I get to the library again. Woe is me. There is no ending to this book, must be the same publisher for Robin Cook.
NO ENDING. THE END.
