 Disappointing... July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was really looking forward to this book- having read all the others in the Grant County series and Triptych, I really am a fan of Karin Slaughter. Halfway through I was wondering if I had missed something and found myself waiting for the story to really "get going" all the way through the book. A reasonable story, and I may have even given the book 4 stars had it been written by anyone other than the fab Karin Slaughter. It doesn't stop me waiting with baited breath for the release of "Genesis" in 2009 though....

Fractured? Yes it was... July 19, 2008

Even though I love Karin Slaughter, this book failed for me on so many levels. I loved that Will Trent was back, but the much needed 'Ooomph' from the Slaughter books was lacking.
Twists, if they were there, I missed them totally, and the book became, just an average read to me.
I still look forward to reading new titles from Slaughter, as a majority of her books are A+
Will Trent - hero? July 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought Karin Slaughters last book - Triptych as I had really enjoyed the Grant County books..... Ditto for this book. But wow, Will Trent has become the lead, a hero ..... a character to follow in his own right.
The thriller part of the book is brill - but I was surprised how I cheered Will's relationship with his new partner.... So far this is not romantic, though it is intense, will KS make it a romance ... I don't know, but as Faith unravels Will's child home past the relationship definately appears to have legs and I am very willing/even hopeful to follow it,
<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
Downside, KS's definition of dyslexia/ and Will's age do not really reflect what I know and see in Britain's understanding of dyslexia. Will seems to have the symptoms of scotopic sensitivity - and might find that coloured glasses or a coloured overlay may help the movement he has when tired or stressed!(it is also possible to changethe background colour of the computer you are working on)! (Many, but not all dyslexics find the coloured glasses useful....) But these thoughts in no way detracted from Slaughter's drawing of the Will character ... I await the next....
Not as good as expected. July 14, 2008
I have read all of Karin Slaughter's books, and absolutely loved each one. I really like the Grant County series, although I also thought her stand alone book, Triptych, was excellent. I have been very excited waiting for the release of Fractured. However, I did not feel that this book was as good as any of her others. It was still a good read, but after Triptch I was expecting an amazing story, with many twists in the plot. The book did not deliver. I did not think anything was particularly surprising. There were not 'loads of plot twists' despite what other reviews may say. I don't want to spoil the story, so I won't go into detail, but don't expect a list of suspects, and then a big "OMG - he did it" at the end. It ended exactly as I thought it would.
To summarise, I would still recommend Fractured to Karin Slaughter fans, but I would warn that this is probably the weakest out of all her books to date.
