Customer Reviews

Beyond Eden

I just love all of Catherine Coulter's books. Her suspense and FBI thrillers are the best. She really fooled me with this one. I thought I new for sure who the guilty person was, and as usual it wasn't. She fooled me again. I really thought I figured it out this time. Fromt the beginning of the book and up to the very end she has you on pins and needles, wanting and guessing what is really going on. I loved it. It is a must read. I highly recommend this book!!

The amazing Ms Coulter

I went to the States when I was 19 with my Nan to see her sister who lived in South Dakota. Personally, I thought it was utterly brain numbingly boring and would have preferred to go home to the UK. We went to some random book shop one muggy afternoon and I picked this book up. It looked good on the back and I figured I would give it a go. I read it fanatically. It took me several hours of dedicated reading and I finished it. It was amazing. I loved the whole book and all it's many literary devices. I especailly enjoyed Catherine's use of native British colloquailism that I found particularily sweet because I missed home like mad. I contacted Catherine to ask her if she had any british ties because of her use of language. She told me that her grandmother was scottish. Nuff said. This book should be made into a movie. People can identify with Lyndsay in terms of personality. She has a terribley low self perception that so many of us have... masterful and breath taking.

Romance, Action, Suspense - This Book Has It All

This book is a great read, one that is hard to put down until you've finished it. The characters are both interesting and believable, and you care what happens to them. Coulter brings her excellent descriptive and action style to this novel of romantic suspense, and keeps you on the edge of your chair and guessing until the end. She neatly wraps up all of the details with a very satisfying and hard-to-predict conclusion. Coulter is one of those writers who rarely disappoints, and she hits the bullseye with this one!

Excellent read

I read this book many years ago and I was happy to read it again. Coulter has a way of getting you close to her characters. Lindsey was raised by a horrible father. Always treating her like an outcast and constantly putting her down and abusing her verbally. The biggest deception and hurt happened when she was 18 years old and raped and beaten by her sister's husband. Lindsey's father blamed Lindsey and claimed to the press that she was a slut and a Lolita. Finally several years later Lindsey discovers herself. She becomes Eden a famous model and meets the man of her dreams. And now someone is out to kill her. Is it her Father, who was disinherited by his mother and gave Lindsey/Eden all the fortune, is it her old professor from college who is a crazy, is it her sister, or her sister's husband, or is it someone else who wants her dead. Good surpise at the end. This book keeps you guessing.

a captivating saga of yet another victimized woman's life

The title of this book threw me off. But when I read the synopsis, I was delightfully surprised to learn that it centered around a terribly isolated and victimized woman named Eden. If you want to sympathize and even emphathize with all the trials and tribulations of an oppressed female character, and yet simultaneously delve into the superficial world of modeling and the upper crust society in general, then I highly suggest this book. You'll find yourself becoming engrossed with all the unpredictable twists and turns. You'll definitely root for the underdog and find yourself abhoring the antagonists.Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
