The Official Nora Roberts Companion

I love this book. Mostly I wanted to be able to read the descriptions of each book and decide then if I had already read them. This book is helpful, as the picture each of the other covers each title was published in. It also has 2 other sections, but I wasnt interested in those. Worth the money. I thought I had read almost all of her books!, but was I wrong!

Nora's fans have been waiting a long time for this book - the definitive behind-the-scenes look at "Nora's World".It's laid out in different sections, from Nora's travels around the world, websites to visit, inside comments from her publishers and booksellers, a fan section and a great section on ALL her published works including Birthright, Remember When and her forthcoming Key trilogy. Each book carries a small synopsis and color photographs of all the different covers used and links to other books if its part of a series. Really comprehensive.Peppered throughout the book there are photo's of Nora, her family, her office where she writes and Nora on her holiday's.One small quibble. This book was due to be published a year ago and in certain sections it shows - reference was made to "her latest bestseller Three Fates" at one point. In other sections an editor's note was added with an update - it seem's a shame that the attention to detail was missing in some areas of an otherwise impressive, enjoyable read.

Nora Roberts has emerged as one of the queen's of romance, earning a place in the hearts of reader's around the world. What makes her special out of the hundreds of authors populating bookshelves? The Nora Roberts Companion answers that. Biographical details and an explanation of her methods give fans insight into how the books they love come to be. Through the eyes of her friends and fans and the pages of her own journals, we learn how well loved Nora is. It will come as no surprise to many that Eve Dallas and Roarke top the polls of favorites. We are also given hints of upcoming novels and a concordance of past ones. The only drawbacks of these two features is having to wait for the former and suddenly realizing how many you might have missed of the latter.***** Like the companion volumes written to many television shows such as the X files or Buffy, the Nora Roberts Companion will be a pleasure for true fans and may be the perfect vehicle for new fans to come aboard. *****
