[.uk] Payback (ISBN 159737542X)

payback:
I find I am excited to began reading Fern Michael's sisterhood books. I can not wait to see what and how they pull off their missons. I get mad at some of the twist and turns, but this just shows you how involved you get in the story. At the end of it all I am happy with the out come and the success of the missions and the closeness of the sisterhood. Thank you Fern Michael for your sisterhood books.

Great book to get lost in.....:
This was an incredibly entertaining book. Is it realistic? Could it actually happen in real life? Absolutely NOT!! It's FICTION. The last time I looked up the definition of fiction - it meant false. Not - 'has to be capable of occuring in real life.' Having said that, Fern Michaels creates a fun fantasy world which is enjoyable to escape into. I am an avid reader who will pick up just about any book and read just for the sake of reading. This was a book that once I picked up I simply couldn't put down. It took me about 3 hours to read cover to cover - and I wanted more. I can't wait to get into the other books in the series. This was the first of the series that I read - missing the books that came before it and I had little trouble understanding who was who and how they were related to each other. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in falling into a fantasy world for a while. Who doesn't want to get revenge on someone at some point in their lives? This is a great way to feel that sweet taste of revenge without having to get your own hands dirty. I plan on getting the others in the series and losing myself for a couple of hours in a world that allows women to unite and seek revenge on men who cheat, pass on deadly diseases, and who only seem to be in this world to take money from others.

Fern Michaels: The Sisterhood Series:
I loved this book, I want to sign up for the sisterhood. The entire series is absolutely the best. Fern Michaels sets the scene and tone of the story and you feel transported into it. You can feel the emotions of the characters as they struggle with the right and wrong of what they do. But at the end you are cheering them on as if you were on the mission with them. I highly recommend this series, you will not be disappointed.

Another Trainwreck in the Revenge of the Sisterhood Series:
Having read the first book in the series, I knew before I started this sequel that the work would be poorly researched and completely implausible. Yet, I find myself drawn to this series again and again just to see how far Ms. Michaels is willing to stretch the boundaries of common sense. In that aspect, Payback does not disappoint. Again the ladies come together to avenge one of the Sisterhood who has been wronged by the Justice System. But in a stroke of impeccable timing, the chosen lady decides she's not ready to seek vengeance and wonder of wonders! Julia's name is drawn out of the box just days before her philandering, AIDS infected Senator husband will be named as a potential Vice Presidential candidate. Some of my favorite moments of idiocy: a former MI-6 agent who's been in hiding in America since his cover was blown years ago has his photo posted on his employer's website; a doctor with AIDS who hasn't bothered until now to inform her husband of his condition, thereby infecting God-knows-how-many other unsuspecting women; the Senator's unexplained and totally forgotten disappearance on the tail end of his VP announcement; the "savvy" FBI agent who, when provided with a phone number by a stranger, dials, hears a receptionist answer with "Oval Office," and quickly hangs up--convinced the phone number is legit; and of course, the HMO family's hypnosis that has them permanently believing they're happy slaves in Africa. If you're able to totally suspend logic while reading, you might find the story entertaining. Otherwise, you'll probably want to pass.

A good idea:
Mmmm....a little bit graphic, *but* I like it. Easily read. I intend to read the entire Sisterhood series now.
