The ugly Duckling was a suspense novel.

+AH4-Nell Clader has been an ugly duckling living among swans all of her life. No one ever cared about her except her beloved grandmother. Now married, she leads a luxurious life that covers up the lies, and deceit. The reader watches in horror as Nell sees her life and family unravel and crash to the ground leaving her alone and deformed. For her pain she is rewarded with beauty, and a lust for revenge that will not be satisfied until she or the killer of her family takes their last breath. +AH4-+AH4- This suspense thriller had me gripping my seat in anticipation. The novel was a true page-turner. It grew more twisted and intriguing with every page. If you like suspense novels, and even if you don't, I guarantee you'll like this novel.

Excellent! I couldn't put the book down!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was intriging and moving! I couldn't put the book down! Nell's character was definately moving and her life's events tragic yet victorious. I gave this book 4 stars, only because I felt the romance could have been quite more passionate. I wasn't to fond of the "casualty" of Tanek and Nell's relationship. That was the only disappointment. But in a whole I truly enjoyed this book, one I will definately reread and suggest to be read. I look forward to other Johansen books!

What a plot!

This book had a great plot that held my attention through the very end. I had a hard time wanting to go to sleep because I did not want to put the book down. I will continue to read these great books as long as they keep coming out.

Good but the same as all her books

I have just completed Iris Johansen's book The Ugly Duckling. I felt this was the best of the three of her books that I've read but it is also excactly the same as the other two.

I have read And Then You Die and Long After Midnight and I must say that if you read any of those books, you've basically read all three. They all have the same story line but different characters.

Because I am supposed to be writing a review of the book and not the author, I would say this is an outstanding read. Great book. But as I stated earlier: if you've read Long After Midnight or And Then You Die, don't bother buying this book because they are exactly the same.

It was thrilling...kept me wanting to read more and more

The book was intriging from the start. It kept me captivated wanting to know what was coming, or who was coming, next. I was emotionally involved with the whole story. I felt the movement of sensitivity, pain, fear, anger, and solemn peace. Johansen did a phenominal job from beginning to end.
