Overall rating and opinion of "Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War" by Dorothy May Mercer

[Ignesta Ignetius]

If the author had kept the storyline purely about cybercrimes, it would have been more interesting, the romance only dulled the book. Also, I found it misleading the title the book Cynthia and Dan[/] when the book was clearly about Cynthia and Dan. Overall, the storyline felt cliché.

[Nathaniel Sarah]

Although the love story is an extra and superfluous addition, the plot itself is fantastic. If I had judge the book by its cover, I wouldn't have read this book, the book cover is unattractive. I didn't find it interesting.

[Ash Subra]

I love the book. The author did an excellent job on the plot. It's was very interesting and captivated. I do recommend to crime thriller readers.

The book's focus is on Cynthia and Sky, not Dan and Cynthia, despite the title's slight misrepresentation of their relationship. I didn't appreciate how the author seemed to be trying to rationalize cheating in certain places. The final twist was good, and I anticipated it.

This novel struck me as being written with teenagers in mind. I can tell from reading previous comments that some of the book's substance is more appropriate for adults. In light of this, it appears that the author hasn't really thought through the target readership for this book.

I read the sample and felt no desire to read any more. For me, this felt like a book aimed at teenagers. I understand from reading other comments that the book contains content more suitable for adults in places. That being the case, it sounds as if the author hasn't really worked out the target audience for this book.

It was difficult to finish reading this book. I gave it a rating of 2 stars. The basic plot had potential but the execution was not good. I did not understand what happened in the end scene of the cyber war. The title should have been different, I feel. The instant love thing did not work for me. I won't recommend this book to others because there is hardly much in it to keep one's attention captured.

[Andrew Darlington]

The sections of this book that talks about Cythina's relationship with Dan and the stranger Sky did not appeal so much to me. Sald this section of this book dominated the most. I preferred the discussions on the cyber warfare which was not fully explored. For me, i do not think this book deserves a full star rating.

[Favy Moses]

The only intriguing thing about this book for me is the cyber war plot line.Every other character seemed confused and very predictable.

[Samuel Okoye 2]

I have not read the book to the end, but so far it's been a fair read. Its 2 out of 4 for me.

The cyber war was my best part of the book, though I didn't like the fact that it seemed like a joke; I was expecting more consequences from the 'war'

[Bradley Twesten]

My overall opinion is very poor, I felt the flow of the book was choppy at best with two competing plot lines. I enjoyed the cyber war part of the book and found it interesting, but hard to follow. Cynthia's love life was poorly written and thrown in I think to give it more of an appeal, which it lacked.

The development of the characters were another issue for me as they were thoughtless. Sky was unbelievable at best, as he was supposed to be a major in the armed forces but reduced to nothing more than a stalker, and love sick schoolboy. These characteristics truly turned me off from the character. Dan was only introduced in a negative and stalking light with no clear ending which disturbed me as well. The author attempted to make Cynthia this independent woman, but at the same time ditzy and clueless.

If it weren't for the adult themes I would possibly recommend this for a teenager, but I would not recommend it to another adult.

I think heatherashley's opinion is spot on. It was not a great book, not even a good book. Too hard to read for the reason's she highlights.
