Erika Holzer
liked thisbut it's telling that looking over my shelves to decide what needs to go to liberate shelf space, this was one of the first books I drew down.
Holzer is a competent writerand that's not to be disparaging, It's easy to understand what caught the eye of filmmakers in this story of a mother looking for revenge for her murdered daughter.
The adaption with Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland is a good, memorable film, as this is a good memorable book, Not that many books, that decades after reading it, I can call the basic plot to mind, But given that, there's just not enough in terms of either style or character or impact that makes me want to read it again and againor watch the film again and again.
So, bottom line, if this book comes your way, read it, I think you'll be entertained, But a keeper No. Maybe I'm just not in the mood, but I can't get past the first few pages of this book, Maybe I'll try again someday, I read this a long time ago after seeing the movie starring Sally Field, Keifer Sutherland, and Ed Harris, Loved the movie, loved the book, Here's a short synopsis that I copied from amazon, since it's been so long since I read it and I can't remember the details
"Advertising executive Karen Newman's worst nightmares come true when a gang of street thugs rape, mutilate, and murder her daughter on Halloween night.
When the gang's leader is released by a "humanitarian" judge, she is outraged, By Christmas she has joined an underground vigilante group, Victims Anonymous, and avenged her daughter's death, " Read in. A fast paced plot, rich charactrizations, crisp and concise dialog and a credible narritive,
I placed an interlibrary loan request, prepared to dislike her writing,
It arrived with wonderful blurbs from awesome authors: Nelson DeMille and Dorothy Uhnak on the front cover, Ed McBain and Sandra Scoppetone on the back.
Inside were more from Dorothy SalisburyDavis, Barbara DAmato, Warren Murphy one of my favorites, Thomas Chastain, Donald Hamilton and others, including major newspapers.
Her portrait, inside the back cover, made me think, “She looks like someone who idolizes Ayn Rand no happy idiot here, but one who is uncompromising in her views and values.
”
I was not prepared for the experience of reading Eye for an Eye and enjoying it so much, It kept me turning pages, rooting for heroes and heroines, hoping that justice would be meted out to evildoers, It also kept me guessing, Wait, thats not exactly it, It surprised me with unexpected plot and character twists that made sense once revealed, and never felt contrived, This was a very satisfying novel, Bravo, Erika Holzer!
