NEWSPAPER & CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
"Millennium Babe: The Prophecy," Capitola author Betty Draviss first mystery, has been getting good reviews on Amazon.com ..." - Leigh Weimers, San Jose (CA) Mercury News columnist
***** Hey Wetterman! What next? I found this book to be very entertaining. I liked how the characters were fleshed out, they became real. The story line was different than I had originally expected with a number of "twists and turns" to keep you wondering what will happen next. Having spent a considerable amount of time in the San Jose, Santa Cruz and Capitola area, I also really appreciated all the good memories it brought back. When you live there its so easy to take for granted. What Im looking forward to, is a sequel. Now that these fictional characters are so real,Im dying to know..."what happens next?" One of the refreshing features about this book aside from the fact that it is very interesting, is the fact that the author has written it in a style that could be shared with a wide audience. Definition?....She managed to use multiple adjectives to describe people, situations and locations without having to swear or use any abusive language. Not something that I was looking for, but something that was noticable. I would like to see more from this author. Okay, How soon? - Rochelle Venckus, Denver, Colorado
***** "This novel has a little bit of everything: adventure, mystery, humor, a hint of religion, and a healthy dose of love. ... I couldnt put it down. As far as Im concerned, its a five-star book." - Debra Pangborn, San Jose, CA
***** "The Millennium Babe was an exciting and thrilling story! ... Just when you think you have figured out the story it takes on new twists and turns. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down!" - Carolyn Joan Murillo, San Jose, CA
***** "Starting with an interesting character, David Wetterman, and pulling together a compelling plot, the story Millennium Babe comes to life. Twists, mystery, and curiosity draw the reader to finish the book quickly. True to a good story, the ending is not predictable. ... This is a book you will not regret buying." - Kathleen Chewey, Campbell, CA
**** "Although Im more of a "who dun-it" mystery reader, I was quickly drawn into the story line in Millennium Babe and was able to identify easily with the characters as they typified many Silicon Valley residents. The author has done a successful job of capturing her readers attention in the first chapter, drawing them along to the climax at books end, and creating speculation about what will happen next. I hope there will be a sequel published soon." - Betsy Grandey, San Jose, CA
