   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) Ma_Washigeri | Jan 23, 2021 |  ) Ma_Washigeri | Jun 17, 2014 | A Nawth Carolina family, the Boatwrights, who win a huge jackpot in the lottery are descended upon by an opportunistic psychopath, Shaw, and his increasingly reluctant sidekick who terrorize the Boatwrights into splitting the winnings with them; more than that, the Boatwrights must publicly declare how much they love Shaw and regard him as almost one of the family. The public of course swallows tis wholesale, and a cult builds up around Shaw; worse still, the Boatwrights, with the exception of teen daughter Tara, in Stockholm-Syndrome fashion begin to swallow the bullshit too. I really like the movies based on this author's two earlier novels, especially The Caveman's Valentine, so, even though I've not read those two, I leapt upon this. I found it, alas, pretty lightweight. (  ) JohnGrant1 | Aug 11, 2013 |  ) cathymoore | Jul 16, 2013 | The family that was "captured"had enough chances to get away. Someone suggested they were suffering from Stockholm syndrome but I do not think you can get attached to your captures so soon, in a week or even shorter? What I also thought was ridiculous was it is a small town and then suddenly people starting to think Shaw is Jesus. And that is all normal. He starts a kind of a church (all in a week's time) lol and the police and the citizens all find that normal. I will give it 3 stars because it did kept me interested.

The Boatwrights just won 318 million dollars in the GeorgiaState lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives. When Shaw McBride and Romeo Zderko pull up at a convenience store off I-95 in Georgia, their only thought is to fix a leaky tire and be on their way again toFlorida-away from their dullOhio tech-support jobs. But this happens to be the store from which a 318,000,000 million dollar Jackpot ticket has just been sold -- and when a pretty clerk accidentally reveals to Shaw the identity of the winning family, he hatches a ferociously audacious scheme: He and Romeo will squeeze the family for half their prize. That night, he visits the Boatwright home and takes the family hostage, while Romeo patrols the streets nearby, prepared to murder the Boatwrights' loved ones at any sign of resistance. At first, the family offers none. But Shaw's plot depends on maintaining constant fear-merciless, unfaltering terror-and soon, under the pressure, everyone's sanity begins to unravel . . . At once frightening, comic, and suspenseful, RAVENS is a wholly original and utterly compelling novel from one of our most talented writers. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
