by Judith M. (San Diego, CA) The Look of Love
Unfortunately, this is not a very well written book. In fact it seemed amateurish, and I couldn't help wondering if it had been written for a teen audience. The idea for the plot had potential, but it just never delivered. Sometimes a silly, light, brand name dropping novel amuses. This one was just plodding!

by Margaret R. (Atlanta, GA) The Look of Love
This is my first Mary Jane Clark book and I was disappointed in it. The format was quite choppy with short chapters (some only a half a page long. There was no character development. The plot was boring and predictable. I found myself hurrying through the last part just to get to the end. It would probably make a fairly good summer beach read, but that's all.

by Terrie J. (Eagan, MN) The Look of Love was a fun read
I really enjoyed The Look of Love. It was a fun light hearted mystery and reminded me of reading Agatha Christie. There were many characters and while reading I wasn't sure which one was the "bad guy" - many of them could have been. I look forward to reading another Piper Donovan mystery.

by Gayle M. (Billerica, MA) I would not recommend this book
Simply put, this is not a good book. The writing style is choppy and disconnected. The plot is flimsy. And, you never get to know any of the characters well enough to care about them. By time you find out who did it, you don't care.

by Debra P. (Belmont, NC) Let Down!!
Although my interest was captured in the first chapter, after that I felt the chapters were a bit short. The character development was pretty good, but I wanted more. The plot was good but too rushed and book felt thrown together which may have been the reason it took so long to get it. If you like a very fast read for a plane ride, etc. this book would do.

by Kim E. (Warrenton, va) A quick sitcom
This book was pleasant. It didn't grab my attention, but it held my interest. It was a light mystery that I don't regret reading; however, if I had paid full price for the book, I would have been furious. The chapters were distractingly short, the character's were not very deep and the plot not difficult to guess. I rate books on well I am transported to a new world, and this one left me still sitting in my living room.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
