A Thriller At It's Best
This is my first book that I have read by Lisa Gardner. It was one of those books you can't put down. Otherwise you go through out the day wondering what is going to happen next or who actually did what. It took me 2 days to read it. READ IT!!!! Great book

Good Read
Good read keep me guessing did not want to put down. The only reason I did not rate it more it had some useless sexual content that was not necessary to the plot, that part read like a romance novel.

Highly recommended
Provides a thought provoking and thoroughly entertaining experience. This is the best nookbook out there, along with The Blue Light of Portland I just completed.

Waste of time....
...and completely horrible. The writing is predictable and characters are incredibly flat. I feel silly that I wasted my time ready this book. Save your money.

Disappointed
I can see this is where Gardner was still transitioning from romantic novels to thrillers. Her characters were not likable, the plot was just okay. I love all her other books and characters but was very disappointed with this one. I recommend to skip this book if you are reading them in order. You will not be missing anything.

Nonstop, Page turning anticipation
This book was so hard to put down. I finished it so quickly and found it to be very suspenseful and well written.

The Best Nookbook I've read
You have no idea where this novel is going- it's compelling from start to finish. And a great adult read, not like those young-adult books that I try to get into but just don't hit home.

Intriguing!!
This is one of the best books I've read in a while. It twists and turns so many times, you never know what to expect in the end. Definitely recommended!

You Have Got To Be Kidding!
I can't believe this was on anyone's best seller list. This story was so disjointed-overly detailed in some parts and then characters and key story elements coming from out of nowhere. This reminds me of the type of writing a freshman in highschool might produce. The story concept itself was decent ,but poorly written and very frustrating to read. It was as though the writer tried to tell you everything at once- like a little kid backtracking on a story to get out of a jam- with some bodice ripper type sex scenes thrown in. I couldn't fathom how something like this could possibly have been published.

Wanted to shoot myself when it was done.
(No spoilers, I promise!) This 357 page book could have been all that it was 157 pages shorter! I felt like we kept going over the same ground over and over again! We're made to believe that Digger was this great reporter, albeit with no scrupals, but this whole drama couldve been saved if he asked one SIMPLE question!!! Not to mention the love scenes were SUPER corny. I found myself skimming thru them as quickly as possible just to get it over with (and it seems like the characters felt the same way). Oh gosh, I was soooo frustrated at the end, I literally wanted to throw the book down (except I was reading it on my nook and I wasnt about to throw that! ) Apparently this author has writteen other books that are better...spend your money on one of those, not this one!

Painful
Stilted writing, cringeworthy love scenes, cardboard characters. . . frankly, I'm not sure why I slogged through to the end. The plot had its twists and turns, but most of them were arbitrary and unbelievable. This is thriller-by-numbers and maybe a decent airplane read, so long as you don't think your seatmate will mind a few sighs of impatience, eye rolls, and some squirming. This was my first Lisa Gardner; it will be my last.

what a young reader has to say
AS I WENT ON READING IT HAD A FEELING THAT THERE WAS WHOLE OTHER STORY BEHIND THE STORY. I ALSO NOTICED THAT IT FOLLOWED A PATTERN AND THEN AT THE END, LISA GARDNER, THE AUTHOR HIT YOU WITH A CURVE BALL THAT YOU AND I WOULD NEVER SEE IT COMING UNTIL THE END. THIS IS WHAT A YOUNG READER HAS TO SAY.

eh...it's alright
This book was ok...it didn't really captivate my attention or become a book that i couldn't put down. It has a lot of swearing in it also so make sure to monitor who in your household reads it.

A compelling story filled with suspense!
_The Other Daughter_ by Lisa Gardner is about a girl who learns the truth about her parents the hard way. The author has a great way of keeping you on your toes. If you like a book filled with suspense than go by this book today!
