 ADMITTEDLY A LOT OF `COINCIDENCES` AND `HARD TO BELIEVE` BITS.. July 4, 2008
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
and a part of me really did want to rip this book to bits and scream -
` THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS - DO YOU THINK WE`RE STUPID ??? !!!` - but it was just so enjoyable and the twists and turns kept me riveted right up to the end ! I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though a lot of it was the most ridiculous make-believe i`ve read in a long time. It was......let`s say `different` - and i will certainly be reading more of sarah rayne. ( Well come on - it`s just a novel - not like she`s trying to pass it off as a true story is it..? )
Excellent! June 26, 2008

Bought this book on impulse in a cheap bookstore and it was marked down to 2. Didn't have time to go to one of the big bookshops in town and I can't be without something to read!
What a book!
Could not put it down from the first page. I din't see any of the twists and turns coming.Totally compelling - dont miss it.

I feel guilty about enjoying this implausible pot-boiler, but I couldn't put it down after an initially slow start. Seriously, would a concentration camp commandant have been active in English business after the war?
Lots of cliches, but a ripping yarn.
Engrossing and moving December 21, 2006

Take it from someone who has lived long and read much, the "ayes" below have it. "Roots Of Evil" is an absolutely engrossing, thoroughly compelling story with characters that you will remember for a long time. The great tribute to any author is that you cannot put a book down. A cliche, I know, but in this case it is true. You will not be disappointed.
 Roots of Evil fails to spark December 20, 2006

Rather disappointing. I found this novel to be clumsily written with weak characterisation, weak dialogue and a cliche ridden, totally silly plot. One is always prepared to accept coincidence and serendipity in a well-written novel - just think of Dickens - but Rayne's characters are simply cardboard cutouts. I simply could not care in the slightest what happened to any of them because she has failed to make them come alive.
