I can't express how wrapped up I am in Ted Dekker's Circle series. This series starts in between Black and Red books and delves into the Books of History which is a big part of the Circle Series and the Paradice Series. Ted Dekker amazes me with his story telling. There's a total of 13 books in 3 different series and they are all intertwined.

There is not one admirable, personable character in Split Images. Elmore Leonard and his readers are likely to feel ambivalent about all of them. The female journalist, Angela Nolan, clearly uses men to fulfill her voracious ambition. The millionaire playboy, Robbie Daniels, is a psychotic threat to anyone who gets in his way. The policeman who retires to become Robbie’s bodyguard, Walter Kouza, was a Detroit cop with a Wyatt Earp complex who doesn’t let either the law or morality get in the way of what he wants. The detective who functions as something of a Columbo to Robbie and as a rival to Walter, Bryan Hurd, is a liar, a manipulator, and a bureaucratic-style by-the-book detective who seems at times self-righteous and at others, sappy and weak. As with many of Leonard’s books, it is the type of story where one finds oneself wishing that everyone will fail at their individual goals and that everyone will be punished. In one sense, Split Images fulfills that wish. Justice appears to be done on many levels, but it doesn’t paint a pretty picture of humanity and leaves one more depressed than if had watched a bad production of Beckett’s Waiting for Godot or read Albert Camus’ The Plague in a bad mood. At various points in the book, I found myself wishing all of the major characters to die. That being said (or more precisely, typed), Split Images is a marvelous thriller. I found myself flying through pages with adrenalin pumping as I rooted for those characters to die or to get caught or to be rejected as the phonies they were. That’s not my normal attitude in reading a book and it suggests that Leonard has done something magical with the characterizations. He has captured that high school beauty who never so much as said hello to one of the panting boys in her classes unless she needed them to explain something or help her with something. He captured that kid with the rich parents who never seemed to have to struggle for anything or go without anything. He captured the fellow who seems to do the right thing but always had an unhappy look about him, along with the stench of being a loser. He captured the fellow who managed to letter without really contributing to the team and, after offending a nice girl with a really churlish suggestion filled with innuendo, managed to bluff past the scandal with pure determination. Leonard tapped into my worst memories of high school (without ever mentioning the adolescence of these characters) and showed me how the worst people would end up as adults. And I experienced a certain catharsis as they, in one way or another, “got theirs” even when they seemed to succeed. I think a book that can challenge your assumptions, stoke your emotions, and offer a (even limited) catharsis is worth reading. There are times when I get annoyed at Leonard’s use of profanity (I know it’s shorthand for street tough language and I don’t mean to be a prude, but there are times when it seems like overkill.) and times when I wish he’d create a sympathetic character. Yet, I suppose I always learn something about life when I read a thriller by Leonard—even if it’s something I learn in a twisted and ironic way.

I find this series is my guilty secret addiction. This book was inconsistent, rambling, whiney, impulsive, brilliant, and awesome but then that is just the lead character's personality.

Not as good as Inkheart, but still kept me turning pages.

Drew and my friend, Jess, love this book...I think it's one of her favorites but I just couldn't get into it.

I would rate this a 3.5. It took me about 200 pages before I got into it. I loved Gold Coast, I like The Gate House.

Great Book, I enjoy the In Death series always looking for the next volume to come out. Treachery in death takes Lt. Eve Dallas into her own home to fight crime, the one thing that she stands for has been made ugly by her own peers, that is something that she does not take lightly!! We meet a new person that becomes one of Dallas' and hopefully we will see more of her, Dec. Lilah Strong. Nora Roberts once again brings a lot of detail and surprisingly a lot more emotion from our Eve Dallas it was a pleasure to see such growth in this book!!!!

it was an interesting novel but it was dry and hard to get through at certain parts. it felt like it took forever to read. The main characters were somewhat annoying and his undying love struck me as pathetic and unendearing.

Starting as a classical romance novel, I was of course enthralled. At first. But I was soon disappointed by the lack of character develpment and the many historical innaccuracies. I was never sure how events connected and why characters seemed to react unnaturally. From quaint European countryside to 21st century vampire cult, I was put off, to say the least. Obviously I am not "for this novel".
