Advantages: Great plot, gripping Disadvantages: Ghost writer, Short
From the day I could read, Virginia Andrews has been one of my favourite authors. Her ability to draw you into her books and really will the characters forward is a skill not all have and I have read many a book by others where I find myself not finishing it. However Virginia Andrews has always created a great story which means I find it difficult to put my book down and leave it till later.

The life of Virginia Andrews was unfortunately far from perfect. Born in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1923 Virginia was only daughter of the family.

Advantages: Dane Cook shows he may have range and William Hurt is very good. Disadvantages: Poor writing and direction that leads to an absence of tension.
Mr Brooks is a successful businessman and devoted husband and father. But unbeknownst to anyone else, he's also a prolific serial killer and one who is so good that he's never been caught. He's tried desperately to control his urges and the sardonic alter-ego he calls Marshall. But when he gives into temptation he's caught on film by a creepy peeping Tom. The next thing he knows, he's tangled up in the twisted agenda of the opportunistic bystander and they are both being hunted by tenacious detective Tracy Atwood.
