Kell Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 If you go to the Home Page & then to the Articles, Michelle wrote an article about it that's posted there. Quote
Maureen Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks Kell BAsically it's because I have rec notice from the library that they are holding Ceremony IN Death...and was wondering if it is too down in the list! Quote
Michelle Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Mau, from what I remember, it should be ok. Give it a go.. the general storyline will be a contained story. Then if you like the style, get the first one ordered, and start from the beginning! (And if anything confuses you, drop me a line!) Quote
Maureen Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks Mich. Will try to pick it up Fri. Can't wait to read this, with your endorsements!! Quote
Inanna Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I see she has another one out later on 'Born In Death' Quote
Maureen Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I think, after reading 2 of the In Death series, that JD Robb is in love with "romance" the old fashioned way. Although Eve is portrayed as being tough and a go getter, Roarke is "the gentleman" who takes care of her, who is always a step ahead in everything and who makes "things better". I think JD Robb still hankers after the time where men and women had their "seperate roles" in life. Romance like the old black and white movies, but set in the future. Quote
Michelle Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 I'm not sure I blame her - wouldn't it be nice to have a man who takes care of you (whilst still letting you be 'tough'), has lots of money, and is rather fantastic in bed?! Quote
Maureen Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 is rather fantastic in bed?! Now that is an understatement ... wouldn't it be nice to have a man who takes care of you It is nice. ......but do you know what I mean? Quote
Louiseog Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 i've read a few of these and agree, although it would be fantastic to live with someone like Roarke, he still is the one who always sorts everything out. Think that is why I got annoyed and felt they were a bit samey, because that is what always happens. Quote
Michelle Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 I do agree.. but I enjoy other bits of the books, which means I enjoy reading them all. Quote
Louiseog Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Have read about five ! But think that's enough now. They are good stories and I love the world in which they live. Quote
Maureen Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I read two, and I felt they were quite similar as well. Quote
Inanna Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I must admit I'm not rushing back to them, even though I've only read 7 or there abouts Quote
Michelle Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 Well I've read every single one, and enjoyed them! So there! :tongue2: Quote
Michelle Posted August 25, 2006 Author Posted August 25, 2006 I've just read the latest, Born In Death, and the 'sameness' is getting a little too much. The thing I love about the series is the characters, and their interactions, but even that was lacking. There was some good stuff about Mavis and her baby, but the rest was forgettable. Either the series needs a big shake up, or it needs to finish.. as much as I would actually miss everyone. My thought is that Ms Roberts is rushing her books out too quickly. Quote
KW Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 So has anyone read her very latest in death book? The one where the foster mom comes back to haunt her? How was it? The whole foster-parent thing is a theme NR uses constantly in her books. I didn't pick it up because I've read "it" in her books before. KW Quote
Michelle Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 Which one, Katherine? As far as I know, the next for release is Innocent In Death, around Jan / Feb time. Oh, hang on.. do you mean Memory In Death? (I'm waking up a little now! hehe) I don't recall too many details, but it was better than the one before it, and certainly better than Born In Death. Quote
Maureen Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Either the series needs a big shake up, or it needs to finish.. as much as I would actually miss everyone. This was my thought exactly for the Scarpetta novels. I would be sorry to see the end of them, but the last couple were really mediocre compared to the first books. I read a couple of the "IN death" series, and I enjoyed them. (Some scenes make me laugh!) Quote
KW Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Not sure which one, it came out in hardcopy this year -- beginning of this year...all that I recall of the plot was what i mentioned in the post above...I'll search on amazon for it. Quote
Michelle Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 Yep, Memory ID was released early 2006, and included Eve's foster mum. It's not the very latest though.. that was Born ID. Quote
Michelle Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 Argh.. it was a while back now. Judging by the rest of the ID books, a 3-4. The ones either side were 2-3. Quote
Louiseog Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Have given up on these, too samey and much too much else to read Quote
Michelle Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Well, I got addicted to them when I didn't have much else to read. Plus, although the crime stories etc do get samey, what caught me was the development of the characters, especially Eve and Peabody. But they have certainly gone downhill recently.. as I said earlier, I get the feeling she's rushing books out too quickly. Quote
