Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing and disgusting
I've been a Fern Michaels fan for almost 30 years now, but this book was a real disappointment. Fern Michaels takes what should be an emotionally-charged topic--women seeking justice when the system fails them--and reduces it to a voyeuristic aura. Aside from the inherent problems with castrating males in a tractor-trailer, the very first operation reads as a clinical how-to, sounding plucked verbatim from WebMD or some other online surgical site. We don't get any feel for how Catherine reacts to gaining her revenge. Narration is flat, but that could be because the prose itself is blase and distanced from the action. The dialogue is superficial and juvenile. Errors in research abound--from truck drivers "keeping" empty trailers on their rigs to solar energy running thousands of megawatts of computers in an underground bunker. Aside from some errors already mentioned how about a woman who's never driven a manual transmission spending five minutes toodling in an empty parking lot and is suddenly an expert?
Too bad. This could've been something stellar.




Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - If You've Ever Thought of Revenge...
The series is of a Sisterhood, created by a very wealthy Mrya, whose daughter was killed by the son of diplomat in a hit and run incident. The son could not be prosecuted due to his diplomatic status. The other members of the group also have been through experiences where the justice system let them down. Add in an ex spy and it is a fun tale of revenge. Each book takes on the case of one of the sisters in the sisterhood.

Actually, this is the second time I have read this book. I read it two years ago, not knowing that it was the beginning of a series. I recently came upon the subsequent few books in the series and didn't remember enough of this book, so I read it again. It was just as fun the second time around. It is outrageous in parts and could never happen, but the idea of it is amusing. It is a fast, escapist read.





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fern Michaels Sisterhood series
What a concept; reeking revenge on those who hide from the law. And women too! Great stories that keep you turning the page and waiting for the subsequent in the series. I had to go back and buy the very first ones to complete the series so far. Just bought the latest too!




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Opening Salvo!
Mystery fans alert. I came to this book late in the series: fiction impells the reader, for a few hours, to suspend belief. Fern Michaels' Sisterhood Series does just that for anyone who has had to endure an injustice. The unfairness of any situation, major or minor, where the victim cannot strike back endures for a lifetime, for both sexes.
Ms. Michaels' beginner "Weekend Warriors" pulls the reader back to discover the connections and events leading to later books. A delightful read, anytime. Nash Black, "Taxes, Stumbling Blocks and Pitfalls 2007" and "Qualifying Laps."
