Summary: Hold the Premarin !!!!
Comment: This book, while dull, was eye opening about the abuse that the US's drug companies are allowed to get away with. In the book they were concerned about the horse's quality of life - but actually what are the drug companies doing to damage & destroy people's health in their quest for profit!?! Think about it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: no more Martha
Comment: I can't remember when I was more angry at the ending of a book. When I finished THE GRAVE MAURICE I swore that I would never read another Martha Grimes book, and so far I haven't. I admit I miss Richard Jury and Melrose Plant as I would any other old friends, but I am tired of endings that feel like a kick in the stomach! So, no more Martha. I will find new friends elsewhere.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Grave rewrite is needed
Comment: Well, I'm not sure how to begin. While the back cover synopsis is intriguing, the execution leaves something to be desired. The book was by far one of the least well written that I've read. Grimes is constantly going off on tangents that seem to have no bearing on the story. I found myself lost several times and having to go back and figure out what was supposed to be happening.
The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of one was that the author seemed to get back on track for the last 50-75 pages.
Overall, I cannot recommend this book and will only give the author one more try before "writing" her off completely.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not her best
Comment: I have read all her books. Obviously, I love her writing. But I have real problems with this one. Two incredible plot contrivances and a horrific ending really spoiled this brew for me.
Still, it's Martha Grimes, one of the best, most erudite mystery writers of our time. I guess everybody has to throw in a stinker from time to time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A wonderful, thought provoking book
Comment: This is a book which grabs your attention from the beginning. I had avoided it because I thought the subject matter would bother me. I can't stand to read about animals in pain. But I managed to persevere and really enjoyed it. I have to confess that I hated the ending, but I could see how it fit the book. I have looked up Premarin on the internet. It is as awful as portrayed in the book. Humans are anything but, I'm afraid.
