Book Reviews of Weekend Warriors
Book Review: Tedious and full of gross errors!
Summary: 1 Stars
I picked this up in the grocery because I thought the concept sounded fun, but was so annoyed by the poor writing and editing I could not finish the book. I won't buy a Fern Michaels or a Zebra Book ever again.
For instance, a butler/slash/MI6 agent turns to an experienced prosecutor, whom he's known all his life, shows her how to download email (in their highly technical war room), and asks her if she can "handle it." Whoa, probably too complicated for the little lady, huh? Later, butler/MI6 agent decides to "download" some dossiers, but for some unexplained reason, they all print out on the fax. At another point he announces to the ladies at breakfast that they have 90 minutes to relax and eat. After 10 seconds of conversation, one of the them stands up, stretches, and says, "Well, our ninety minutes is almost up!" I went over the passage twice to see if I'd missed something. Nope. During this meeting, on page 46, they're told they will vote to see whose case takes priority. On page 51 they're told to draw slips from a shoebox. None of the characters questions the change.
A glaring error occurs with a key character--a woman truck driver--and her "rig." Michaels assumes, in total error and without a stitch of research or common sense, that a "rig" includes the trailer, which is, unfortunately, also an important part of Michaels' plot. So she's got this woman toting her own trailer throughout the story, and "vacuuming" her trailer after a run. Really? In a day and age where the trailers belong to the produce and packing companies, and are unpacked, cleaned, and reloaded by warehouse companies? Drivers unhitch one trailer and pick up another--they don't stand around making loaders wait while they "vacuum" their trailers, not to mention I've never heard of such a silly thing anyway! They're swept and hosed out!
I'm sorry, I was deeply offended that Zebra thinks so little of their readers that they will put stuff like this out on the shelves, knowing that we'll buy it anyway.
Summary of Weekend Warriors
Life isn?t fair. Most women know it. But what can you do about it? Plenty?if you?re part of the Sisterhood. On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn?t do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they?re forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn?t know they had. Growing bolder with each act of justice, the Sisterhood is learning that when bad things happen, you can roll over and play dead?or you can get up fighting? In the tradition of The First Wives? Club, WEEKEND WARRIORS is a slam-bang, take-no-prisoners tale of survival, sweet revenge, and the healing power of friendship. ?Readers who grow weary of seeing the bad guys get away with their crimes will enjoy seeing what happens when well-funded, very angry women take the law into their own hands.? - BooklistLiterature & Fiction Books
