Product Description: "Save my child. Save Katie". Michael has been taken, kidnapped by a frantic father in a desperate move to save his dying daughter. Chad Newcomb is sure Michael was the one who performed last Christmas' miracle, healing ill children in a hospital. Maria, Max, Tess, Liz, Isabel, and Valenti are hot on Newcomb's trail, but a reporter's nose for a medical scam leads her straight to Max, foiling the group's rescue plan. And Katie's life is on the line. Will they be too late...again?
Eh... I didn't really enjoy this book. First, there were ... errors in it. Michael did not heal Liz. Anyone writing a book about Roswell should know that. Also, I didn't like the interaction between Liz and Tess. Yes, I am not a Tess fan, but I didn't like how she walked on Liz at all. It wasn't how it happened in the show, and that really bothered me. As for storyline, the book was pretty good. If you've never seen the show, you will probably like it. If you're a die hard fan of the show, and little mistakes drive you insane, or if you aren't a big fan of Tess, this probably isn't the book for you.
Pretty good Roswell novel, based on great story idea. I really like it when authors who write novelizations related to TV shows decide to base their story on possible consequences of actions taken by the characters in the show. This book does that, playing on the idea of unintended effects resulting from Max's decision to heal the children in the hospital in the episode "Roswell Christmas Carol". Now, a Father wants his daughter healed, too, and kidnaps Michael because he thinks the young man holds the answer. At the same time, criminals are using Max's unexplained good dead to make money off of unsuspecting victims by selling them a cure that they say was used on the kids Max healed. The group goes looking for Michael when he turns up missing, while at the same time dogding a reporter who suspects Max had something to do with the so called "Christmas Miracle". All in all, the story was a good one, but did kind of drag at times. Also, the author really spent too much time exploring the thoughts of the reporter and the criminals hiding out and selling their elixer over the internet. Ultimately, the Roswell fan reading this book probably doesn't care what the one criminal thinks about the other criminal he's working with, or how he doesn't like the way he is talked to sometimes by his partner. It was still a well constructed story with a great premise working behind it.
Very Good! I really liked No Good Deed. It kept my interest throughout the whole book! I thought the writing was good and the plot was even better. The one thing that bothered me was that they kept mentioning Michael's parents. Michael, as many Roswell fans know, was an orphan and never had parents. Maybe in the book Michael did have parents though. I'm not sure. Other than that the book was wonderful! I would definately recommend it to anyone who is thinking of reading it!
No Good Deed Roswell 2 As a huge fan of Roswell and especially the character of Michael Guerin, I was really impressed with this book. It gave me a glimpse of another side of Michael. The side that so desperately wants to be like Max. To be able to heal instead of hurt. I also like the fact that books are somewhat in connection with the T.V. story lines. I have read the first in the series and plan on read the third. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the show or is interested in it.
Carrying on with a really good idea On Christmas Eve Max and Michael snuck into a childrens ward in Arizona to heal the children there for Christmas. It was an act that will come back to haunt them. A desperate father remembers Michael from that night, and he has plans for him. Chad Newcomb's little daughter missed out on the "Christmas Miracle", and he plans on making sure that Katie will be saved by one of the angels. As the rest of the gang try and save him, they find themselves dealing with an annoying reporter who keeps getting in the way. A medical scam keeps everyone guessing.
Based on the television series, this novel follows "Loose Ends". I really enjoyed this novel, finding it well written, and the switching viewpoints made the book more interesting. Unlike "Loose Ends" this novel shows a more faithful following of the characters that were developed for television from the books written by Metz. It is nice to see too that Michael has become something of a main character rather than having yet another book from the perspective of Max and Liz.
This book gets a huge thumbs up both for the quality of the writing, and a great storyline.
