Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Beware schitzophrenia..........
If you like the first few pages read somewhere in the middle before you buy the book. I picked it up from the library based on what I expected to be an economically written thriller (first hundred pages or so) and found myself in such a confused zoo (characters, writing, and plot) that I cannot believe the same person wrote both parts unless there was some tragic event in his life about page 100 or the deadline situation became so desperate that anything would do. I believe the last part of the ... Read More
Rating:  - Southern Inhospitality
When Farris writes straight thrillers, they're pretty gritty. This is one of his grittiest.
A CIA adventurer, recovering from having bitten off more than he could chew, finds himself falling in love with a besieged heiress. The usual cast of stock Southern baddies have their own agendas for the heiress' money - but, of course, there's this little problem of getting her out of the way, first.
Nothing you haven't read or seen before, but Farris writes it splendidly. This one's ... Read More
Rating: - Not One Of His Best!
I've been a big fan of John Farris from when he published his first novel -- Harrsion High --while (I believe) he was still a high school student. To me, his best works are The Fury and Sharp Practice. For about the first third of Dragonfly, I thought this book was going to rival his best. However, the last two-thirds became predictable and unrealistic. Farris' depiction of the women in this book are love-starved, easily conned, defenseless and in desparate need of a man's attention. For this male reader, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Read!
This was my first John Farris book and I was really surprized at how interesting it was. Without giving anything away, I could not believe how well he wrapped up so many plot twists at the end. If you like Dean Koontz or books like that, you will love this book.
Rating: - I would read this book again.....
I thought Dragonfly was a great thought-provoking novel. When I read the last words inside the jacket, I was thinking 'what does that mean?' I found out when I really got into the book and it got me more interested. This book is a real find. I strongly recommend it for anyone who likes John Farris.
