Customer Reviews

Ironic Humor at Its Best

One wouldn't suppose that a kidnapping tale could be funny. Well, it wasn't a roll on the floor laugh-fest, but this novel did offer plenty of head-nods to irony. Suzie Q, the luckless kidnapping victim is fresh and clever and has a wry sense of humor about her. While gagged, tied up, and freezing to death she still has plenty of Irish pluck. Suspenseful and interesting, ironic and frightening, this book is wonderfully done and a pleasure to read!

It will keep you on the egde of your seat.

I really enjoy this book it kept me on the egde of my seat the whole time I was reading it. I really thaught that Suzie Q. was ganna escape on Gerards motorcycle. I think that she could have gottin' away on his motorcycle. I like the way the book ended with her getting rescued and Dodie going to jail. I hope you enjoyed my review

When I bought this book I thought I was gonna hate it. I even preffered to read many other books, which I didn't like, before even opening the book. But when I read it I was HOOKED, I loved it, everything goes so fast, so well developed. I recommend it to you. REALLY.
