[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8249631, member: 508"] I finished [i]Find Me[/i] by Debra Webb and it was no contest - it was nowhere near as good as the novel with the exact same title by Carol O'Connor. The plot was okay - investigative reporter digs around a small town in Maine where there's been a recent murder and a kidnapping, both of which mirror events from 20 years ago - but the main character is such a Mary Sue it's ridiculous. Not only is she right with all of her assumptions (but of course nobody believes her at first), but at the end she's practically put on a pedestal by just about the whole town who line up to visit her in the hospital and sing her praises. And worse yet, about halfway through the so-so murder plot the author decides she'd like to be a romance author as well so from that point on we get a gratuitous sex scene every 40-50 pages or so through the rest of the novel (the worst offense is when they're supposed to be stalking out the house of a suspect from a boat on the water, but suddenly decide nope, it makes more sense for us to boink right now). I think Debra Webb's on my "don't need to read anything else from her" list. So, next up is another [i]Firefly[/i] novel: [i]Generations[/i] by Tim Lebbon, in which the crew of the [i]Serenity[/i] finds the location where at least some of the Arks used to ferry colonists from Earth-That-Was are parked. Sounds interesting. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
