Infamous edition by Suzanne Brockmann Literature Fiction eBooks

Loved the storyline. I got the Whyspersync version and not often do they have the good sense to use a male and a female narrator, however this version wasted that effort ... big time. Speed recorded at a faster pace and changing speeds did not help. Good book though it did dwell and drag out some parts while speeding through others.

Infamous edition by Suzanne Brockmann Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I have to say first and foremost I love Suzanne Brockmann....but she fails way off the mark on this book. I don't really know what she was thinking to write a book in this format...I had a very difficult time trying to catch the story...so boring I couldn't even get into the book and had to just stop reading...at the beginning instead of setting up the story line, she's switched around so much you don't even know who the books about! Yikes...Don't waste your money on this one....
I've never read anything by Suzanne Brockmann before though I had heard of her. I think one of the things that drew me to this book was that it was a stand alone. Once I saw how expansive her work is I was a bit put off. I'm open to new authors but to start a series thats already more then 10 books in was not what I was looking for. And to add to that I'm really not a big fan of the romance genre. Every now and then to cleanse my palette but I would never say I'm a romance reader.

Looking into it, Infamous had several elements that appeal to me. I am an avid paranormal/sci-fi reader. I've always enjoyed almost anything Western related. Its a stand alone, and I haven't heard anything about a sequel as of yet. But then I read some of the reviews and then I hit a standstill. Many of the reviewers pretty didn't like it, not hate but not love either. Seems the main complained was that there was too much going on. I mulled it over and decided to give Mrs. Brockmann the benefit of the doubt and read it.

And I'm so glad I did. It was exactly was I was looking for. Lighthearted enough that it didn't take itself too seriously and enough things going on that I didn't fell like I was trudging along.

Story is simple enough. AJ Gallagher is visited by the spirit of his great-grandfather Jamie Gallagher, who was an American Western "outlaw" and he is tired of all the lies about him and convinces his great-grandson to crash the movie set of a film being made about his nemesis US Marshall Silas Quinn to finally set the record straight. Once there he confronts Alison Carter, the film's historical consultant and the author of the definitive book about Quinn praising him for the "hero" he was.

Its pretty obvious how that plays out. They clash ,they bond. They fight, they love. They want to, but can't. They do, but shouldn't have. Even though the main focus is AJ and Alison, what I really enjoyed were the other characters. Jamie Gallagher is the funny man to AJ's straight man. Hugh is Alison's gay "boyfriend". Rob and Charlotte are the other "how is that going to out?" Melody is the other "heroine" with her own struggles to overcome.

I can only assume that seasoned Brockmann readers found it overwhelming because it wasn't like her other novels. Sure there was a lot going, different subplots, story lines and back stories but I found it refreshing. It has its fair share of steamy sex scenes but wasn't drawn out and not all of them were about AJ and Alison. Even the seedier ones I wasn't against. A coked-out hitman banging his equally drugged hooker girlfriend is not something you often see but I can appreciate it for was it is, that even the scummiest amongst us get booty too.

A few times Mrs. Brockmann got a bit preachy but I found them to be so minor that I wasn't fazed. I figured she was aiming at an audience closer to her age. I'm 24 and straight, and you don't have to convince me to be more accepting of gays. But I did find it odd that it was even mentioned because she apparently known for writing about gay characters.

All in all, I really liked it. It had a little bit of everything that at times I found myself asking, this is a romance? But by the end I was reminded that, indeed, it was a romance. Let's be honest, I'm not really giving anything away when I say AJ and Alison end up together.

So if you're looking for a story that you know is going to end well for everyone and what you're really looking for is that drama and suspense in between, I'd recommend it.
It was a very simple read nothing like her other books which I love. Characters were not fleshed out well. That said I read it one evening while waiting for word from an ER Dr. It helped to pass the time and like I said I love most of her other books. This may be an early story. I have read ALL (and loved) her Troubleshooter books and look new stories with old friends.
I'm going to begin with a couple of observations about Suzanne Brockmann with the full realization that anybody who is unfamiliar with her body of work will probably have not a single clue what I'm talking about. If this is you, go ahead and give me an unhelpful vote right now and go pick yourself up a copy of The Unsung Hero. Start there and read away. You can come back to Infamous in a month or so - once you've read her most famous series.

For the rest - in a genre that is rife with generic cookie cutter writing, Suzanne Brockmann is a sparkling gem of originality and for that I love her. I may not always love her writing, I may not always love her books, but I absolutely adore her willingness to take a risk and be original. This book Infamous, it is original. That plus her rock solid history is going to prevent me from totally trashing the novel.

Now for the bad part. Suzanne Brockmann is a passionate woman of opinions which are frequently reflected in her writing. Loudly, blatantly and unashamedly. That is a fact that I totally respect and even enjoy, because if a writer isn't passionate about her work, how can a reader ever be?

My problem with this novel is that when the two points made above, the originality and the passion, go crashing into each other they can very often create a mess. And that is pretty much where this book Infamous leaves the reader - in a befuddled confused mess where the discord of Ms. Brockmann's passionate social beliefs and agenda overwhelm the story she is trying to tell. Really. Paranormal Cowboy Movie Romance with a Murder Plot, Alcoholism, Gay Rights, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Native American Mysticism, Homelessness, Remarriage After Spousal Death, Gulf War Vets, Fathers Who Murder Sons for Undisclosed Reasons and a Sister Who Got Married As A Teen Because the Love Of Her Life Was Critically Ill.

Whew.

If only we could have spent a couple of pages exploring corporate greed and that oil spill in the Gulf, but I'm guessing this book went to print before that ever happened. Okay I've headed into sarcasm so I'll try to say it more nicely. Not everything belongs in every book and in the end the STORY should trump the author's agenda. If it doesn't enhance the story, then it should be saved for the book where it does fit. And on that major rule, this book is a Fail with a capital F A I and L. FAIL.

So the good part? Underneath all that clutter there really is the makings of a pretty nice novel here. And it's a novel we all haven't already read hundreds of times before. There's a nontraditional heroine, a nontraditional hero and a pretty sweet story of how love, honor, respect and trust can bind a family through the generations. If you can keep your mind on the story, ignore a couple of nonsensical huge plot holes, dropped storylines, and shaky characterization of the major players - you might even enjoy it. I'm going with 3 stars with a major nod to the author's past history and thanks that I didn't pay hardback prices for this.
Loved the storyline. I got the Whyspersync version and not often do they have the good sense to use a male and a female narrator, however this version wasted that effort ... big time. Speed recorded at a faster pace and changing speeds did not help. Good book though it did dwell and drag out some parts while speeding through others.
