Catherine Coulter - Riptide

Pros: Immensely enjoyable
Cons: Smattering of words which some will find offensive

The suspense in this story reaches out and grabs you from the first page, and doesn't release you until the unexpected climax. The story takes so many twists and turns, it will leave you breathless.

Becca Matlock is enjoying success as the...

Pros: I read it in one night.
Cons: The plot is too predictable.

I started reading Catherine Coulter's Riptide yesterday afternoon while waiting for the second surge of kids and grandkids. Needless to say I finished all 355 pages last night, it was one of those can't put it down books. Rebecca Matlock is a ...

Pros: reasonably enjoyable and involving storyline, familiar characters

Pros: Interesting characters.
Cons: Plot too loose and too many sub plots.

Catherine Coulter’s Riptide did not quite live up to its’ title although it still was representative of the genre Coulter writes. In other words, this was not her best book. The legacy series is better.

There were too many subplots and...

Pros: Okay Story Line, Utterly speechless ending
Cons: TOO MUCH TO MENTION

I didn't really enjoy this book as much as I did with Catherine Coulter's historical romances. I don't know why but her modern day novels could use some work. In my opinion this book just doesn't rate up, I don't think it's worth the four hundred pages...

Pros: Great interesting story
Cons: Length of 400 pages may deter some readers

I just finished reading Catherine Coulter's Riptide and I have to highly recommend this book.
