Tribute

I have loved Nora Roberts books since discovering her Born In series. She has a way of weaving stories and characters that are compelling reads. That said, Tribute falls very short. Here, the hero/heroine are quite flat and under-develop. The story revolve around the remodeling project of an old estate and a bit of suspense involving secrets from the past. Too bad, most of the characters are such cookie-cutter types. So bland, I keep mixing them up. There's also a mystical angle that distracted me. If not for Spock the dog, I probably would have just given up completely. As it is, I ended up skimming the last few chapters. All said, I'm a fan who will continue to read her, in hopes of finding better pieces in the future.

I have always wanted to read a Nora Roberts book so ordered one. It has an attractive cover, is a nice size, but the biggest nothing I have ever attempted to read. It will be read but not because I think it has value, I just want to see what the world is calling "good". Sure not a page turner. Waste of my money.

As usual, you were great. 100 stars. Oh wait, I forgot. Only 5. Well, store the other 95 for use when needed.

Nora Roberts can truly keep a page turning! I was engaged from start to finish!

I have been a Nora Roberts fan since the beginning of her career, and it really pains me to say that "Tribute" is just plain blah. I kept thinking it would get better, but it didn't. It's readable, but I really didn't care if I finished it or not. I thought the ex-husband character was much more interesting than the "hero". Cilla, the heroine, just never became real to me at all. I like to care about at least one character in a book, but the characters were just not interesting to me. I was amazed that the book rated 4 stars.
