I got this as a free Kindle ebook a long time ago and just got around to reading it. The only positive thing is that it is a relatively short book. Everything else left something to be desired. I didn't care a wink about any of the characters, and half the time I didn't even know who the characters were. The mystery of Dryden's murder was somewhat intriguing, but didn't go anywhere. The disappearance of Chloe didn't even really have a description, it was just so-and-so is on the lost Chloe case. The plot/storyline didn't have anything going on, and didn't really move anywhere through the entire book. Nothing was solved at the end, and barely any progress was made. It looks like it's part of a "next chapter" kind of series, where this same plot goes into the next book instead of each book in the series being a separate case. I kind of feel like it was kind of a waste of time.

All in all, I'm glad I didn't pay for this and that I only read it while walking on the treadmill at the gym or waiting at the bank. I definitely will not be getting the next book in the series, as I don't care at all about what happens. I cannot recommend this at all to anyone. Pass it up if you think you might want to read it.

Even though I took advertising as my focus on my study of communication, I still have the interest of media studies by heart. I bought this book first because it's written by Dan Laughey whose book was used by my lecturer of media theory class. I was amazed by how handy and thorough this book is. It covers almost all of the media theories with a very dense description that anyone without a communication background can understand. As someone who has studied media theories before, this book can help me remember the fundamental ideas of each theory. Alas, this book will still be enlightening for someone with no understanding of media studies before. I recommend this for anyone who wants to get a peek into the media studies. Remember, today is the 21st century and the media has never been more powerful than it is right now.… (mere)
