I've read 3 Fern Michaels books.. and they weren't very good.. the ending was so quick and rather anti climactic.. I will add a trigger warning because it deals with domestic abuse.
I've never read Fern Michaels before, but I'd classify No Way Out as a cozy. It started out very interesting with a young woman who never left her house. I wanted to know why and what she was afraid of.A second thread involves a case of domestic abuse in the neighborhood.What could have been a really suspenseful read turned into a "everything works out in the end" sort of book. That's fine, but building so much suspense and curiosity and then having half the characters reform completely--makes
This is the first Fern Michaels book I have read, and it will be the last. Written at about a fourth grade reading level, the two dimensional characters are all of average or below average intelligence. Story events are rehashed in conversations in case you missed information the first, second, or third time it was conveyed. A purportedly smart woman with a magnificent backyard isn’t smart enough to teach her dog to poop in a specific place, thus effectively ruining the whole yard. The child is
No suspence. No thrill. I expected better from this author after having read many, many of her books. This bordered on boring and was one of those books that while I'm reading it my mind wanders and when I focus I noticed that I read a couple pages and have no idea what I read. It tries to build you up for this big ending and when you get to it the boyfriend gets to the front of her house, starts yelling, and then is taken away by the cops. That's it. I don't know why I finished this book to beg...
Ellie Bowman moves to a quiet street, Birchwood Lane, in the small town of Hibbing, Missouri where there are a variety of residents. As the story progresses the reader gets to meet many of them with their various quirks and habits. Colleen Haywood lives with her drinker husband, Mitchel as well as her eight-year-old son, Jackson. Ellie, a young recluse, has lived on the street for two years but had never been seen outside by any of her neighbours, nor Hector who helps with gardening and shopping...
No Way Out by Fern Michaels is not what I expected. I was looking forward to a riveting, suspenseful story. Unfortunately, No Way Out is not that type of book. It is reminiscent of a light cozy mystery or a women’s fiction story. This book lacks the suspense and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Ellie moves to the small town of Hibbing, Missouri on a quiet street where there are a variety of residents. We get to meet the various residents as the book progresses. I liked the residen...
NO WAY OUT by Fern Michales Meh! It was a good enough read, I guess. I hung on because I kept waiting for the magic to happen, so it wasn't a thriller or a mystery. I thought it was just a drama about family or neighborhood. Essentially it was about neighbor women who both have safety issues in their life based on domestic violence, remembered and not remembered. The best thing about the book was the tech stuff and the dog. It is a good enough read, but you should reserve your expectations. 3 st...
I expected better from Fern Michaels -- this was kind of draggy, with unexplainable touches. How did the brutal ex-husband and his bitchy mother SUDDENLY become all sweetness and light?? And what was the reason for the new family across the street? And the old guy who was a hoarder? And most of all, how did the ex-boyfriend find Ellie?? And was this a mystery, or a domestic violence study? Anyway, I read it, but the ending was certainly abrupt.
Great read! Haven’t read one of her books in a long time but definitely a page turner!
Good readIt has a enough of a backstory to keep you interested and is a take back your life story. Feel good storyline.
