I just love Jack Weyland’s dialogue, and in the case of the classic Charly as well as Ashley and Jen (an eerily good book, if you haven’t read it) the plot is often pretty good, too. I feel like he’s having fun telling a story and not worried about getting caught up in supposed drama (the Mormon romance novelists tend to do this — it BUGS me! “Oh, ShawnRaeLynn, I just don’t know if Crayden really will like me for me and not just for the kids I have custody of!”)
But Weyland — there’s a lot of humor infused in Weyland’s fast-moving books.
That said, I expect a lot from Jack Weyland (perhaps moreso than is deserved) — and this one didn’t quite meet my expectation. Where was the funny wise-cracking jokes?
Kristen, a naive freshman from Idaho, meets good-looking, beach-going Chad during her first semester at UCLA. But Chad’s not at all what he appears to be — he’s a dangerous criminal without morals. Pretty soon Kristen’s being swept up in the excitement until she finally realizes the danger and flees to Idaho, and Chad turns stalker when his final night of crime goes bust.
Things I appreciated about the plot:
~ I liked the secondary character Dutton, a high-ranking police officer. He had his own storyline that was just as interesting (moreso?) than Kristen/Chad’s.
~ Kristen is not a complete doofus, despite making a few bad decisions at the beginning.
~ Once the issue with Chad is over, the book doesn’t end — Dutton and Kristen have to deal with the media, Dutton decides to make a stand regarding corruption in the ranks, and Kristen learns to trust again and to truly forgive herself.
Things I thought were lame:
~ SPOILER ALERT! (Were you actually going to read this book anyway?) On the last page of the book, we find that Dutton gives up his career as a cop, uproots his family, and lives out the remainder of his life as a substitute teacher in Rexburg. WHAT?! I am supposed to be happy with so many loose ends left dangling?! What about his passion for law enforcement? What about his daughter Abigail and wife Laura’s nervousness about leaving the comforts of home? Couldn’t Weyland have at LEAST put him on an Idaho police squad or had him teaching criminal justice classes at BYU-I (do they offer these?) or … I don’t know. Something??
~ Obligatory getting-married scene of Kristen and her brother’s best friend. I guess the author puts this in here for all the teenage girls (and boys?) who need to keep that vision of marrying in the temple. (I don’t mean that snarkily, either. I think that’s a GREAT thing. It doesn’t make for great literature for someone who’s already married, though.)
~ Not enough witty dialogue. This is why I read Weyland!
At any rate, Weyland is always good for a “weekend book” — I think I finished this in less than twenty-four hours.

In "Saving Kristen", by Jack Weyland, the characters seemed very human. They were relatable, and it felt like they could actually be real people. I loved how Dutton, a police officer, held on strongly to his beliefs and wouldn’t lie, although others were insisting he cover an important problem. Kristen hated herself for some of the decisions she made, and she felt like she didn’t deserve to be happy again. That made me sad, but with the mistakes she made, it made sense how she felt like that. It made me laugh when David asked her to marry him and she was basically just like, “Yeah, sure, why not?” Then, the next day the reality of it totally hit her and she felt it was too much and had to tell David that. He made her realize that she really did want that, and told her that he sincerely did as well. They had awkward, adorable moments that were so sweet and human. Overall, this was such a sweet book that was just relatable and amazing so I would definitely read it again and recommend it.

This book was not for me. I just can't bring myself to like an insipid female character who needs a guy to "save" her. I read a free version of this book, but it was my first & LAST from this author. I resorted to skimming. If you do take the plunge, it only took me about 1/2 hr to read.
Here's this book in a nutshell: ***SPOILER ALERT*****
An Idaho mormon girl who likes to dance decides to go to UCLA (against her fathers better judgement). While there, a California boy pursues her. She doesn't lower her standards to drink coffee, but she caves rather easily when it comes to drinking alcohol. However, she narrowly avoids getting a tattoo while intoxicated. Unknown to her, this So-Cal guy she is involved with is a leader of a group of guys that impersonate police and hit drug houses for the money. He pursues her for the challenge of corrupting a mormon girl. In the meantime, her childhood crush has an impression that he should write to her about the power of forgiveness when one makes mistakes (where part of the "saving" comes in???).
Meanwhile, "Kristen" becomes wary of this guy after he pushes her to compromise her virtue and becomes angry when she refuses. She becomes afraid when he beats up a church friend of hers. She leaves school without dropping her classes and flees to her parents house in Idaho. Unbeknownst to her, the police are onto the "gang", and most are caught. Her guy follows and tries to kill her, but is caught and shot (hence she is saved again) by a "good" California cop (who also happens to be a mormon).
Her high school crush returns from his mission and hangs out with her, recommending that she spend time at BYU Idaho to get away from all of the drama. He asks her to marry him in a very cheesy way (more saving???). She wants to, but doesn't feel she deserves him: "He's always been so good, and the way I behaved in California revealed how weak and shallow I am." Ugh!
Nevertheless, it ends with a chaste honeymoon scene (about a paragraph) complete with dancing, prayer and a pillow fight. What more could you want?
This was disturbing on so many levels, not the least of which is the fact that this is clearly marketed to teenage LDS girls. The book implies that if she had just attended BYU Idaho (like her dad, but not her mom wanted her to), she wouldn't have gone down that slippery slope. Everything would have been hunky dory! California = Bad/worldly, Idaho = good. Men have good judgement, and young impressionable girls should rely on them instead of using their own judgement, which is so clearly flawed. I found the stereotypes and assumptions in this book to be horrendous.
I want my daughter to be strong, and to have good female role models. This certainly doesn't fit the bill for something I would recommend.

I'm not a big fan of Jack Weyland books for teenagers, but one of my teenagers has been recently encouraged by one of their friends to read this, and I was curious to see what it was like - and found that it was very like all of the other of these books that I have read.
Which is to say that while the author seems to really have his heart in the right place, I'm always disappointed by the low standards of his characters, who repeatedly make poor choices. The books seem to be written with the object of encouraging young people to live worthy lives, yet they fail to develop or portray really worthy role models.
I suppose it's not exactly Mills and Boon fiction, but it's much too close to be very laudable.

A light read; a bit silly and predictable with plot and dialogue, as are most stories Weyland tends to write. But it seemed worth it to read this story because it just takes a couple hours to breeze through and there are admirable themes like repentance and standing up for what's right, justice vs. mercy, etc. This book is a good read for people who don't mind an ultimately cheesy, if uplifting story.
February 25, 2015
Ugh. I keep giving books like this a try because I want "clean" books, but I really should stop. Way cheesy and totally unbelievable.
September 30, 2009
Blah not good talks about tatoos, drinking and balh blah blah! I was REALLY dissapointed with jack weyland!
June 8, 2010
I downloaded this from Deseret Book as a free e-book about a year ago and just finally got around to reading it. Super-quick read, definitely not Jack Weyland's finest.

First, let me say that I think a young teen would love this story. I am 49, however, and found it cheesy, too convenient, and over exaggerated. One or two things working out perfectly but everything turning out great was too much fantasy for me.
I thought Kristen was a nice character, and admired her "bravery" to go away out of state for college despite her dad not liking the idea. However, her naiveté was unbelievable to me. This could have worked in the 1970's or something, but in 2005, the "outside world" would have reached even small town Idaho. UCLA would have not had been the first experience Kristen had with people not living LDS church standards. When And someone strong enough to go against parent wishes with something as big as university would surely have been a big stronger in the face of peer pressure. And then the immediate guilt and stop going to church completely? Has she never heard of the Atonement? I believe all these things can happen, but the story jumped too quickly from decision to consequence. Life is often more complicated than that.
This possibly could be seen as a spoiler:
One of my biggest complaints with LDS fiction is that there only seems to be certain commandments that characters are allowed to break. And it's never something that has lasting consequences that while they can be repented of, the results are still there. Like not getting a tattoo or losing virginity because that's something that would still be there even after a character repents and receives forgiveness. Instead, characters are only allowed to break the word of wisdom, or not be kind, or something that does not have lasting consequences. That's my beef. In real life, people make huge mistakes, lose precious people from their lives, and are never able to change that, but are still able to return to Jesus Christ, the church, and all of the blessings of such. I would like to see the extremes better portrayed instead of everything having a happy ending.

January 7, 2025Based on the cover, beginning, and the back cover I thought Saving Kirsten was going to be a love story 😆. Turns out it is about a girl who starts dating a boy and makes some terrible decisions against her standards. Then he turns out to be a two faced criminal stalker.
Tale of good cop/bad cop, stalking, and being true to your religious beliefs.

Jack Weyland's novels often contain a girl's name in the title. I read several of Weyland's novels as a teenage but now find them downright cheesy and poorly written. I picked this one up in the thrift store solely for the namesake factor. He finally found a name worth writing about and with the correct spelling to boot:)

This book is described as being exciting and action-filled. I found it to be exactly that. Interesting how quick a religion is put aside when someone is seeking a career on the stage. From small town to college at UCLA brings many changes for Kristen and lots of danger too.

This Jack Weyland novel tells the story of Kristen, a girl who loves to dance and is in love with her brother's friend. Upon leaving her hometown of Ashton, Idaho to attend UCLA, Kristen learns that not everyone shares her Mormon values and beliefs. One young man named Chad becomes very intersted in Kristen, and begins to lure her into his world of parties and expensive dinners. Little does Kristen realize that the perfect Chad comes with a dark past; his extra-curricular activities are not only dangerous but illegal, and when Chad believes that Kristen has betrayed him to the police, he decides that she can either marry him and live with him or... she won't live at all. Even when Kristen escapes to Idaho and tries to extricate herself from the double life she's been living, will it be enough to save her from Chad, and can she heal and find a truer, special love? This book is a typical Weyland novel, but perhaps a little more intelligent in the way that it deals with its subplot of the police officer who is helping to "save Kristen." Despite its serious subject matter, the book manages to be humorous while simulatenously exploring the dangers of letting oneself slip away from what they believe and following the crowd. While quite predictable and cheesy, the book has a good message and will likely appeal to a good majority of young LDS readers.

(PLOT) This book is about a girl named Kristen who goes to UCLA for college and meets a boy who is wants to be her friend. He is really nice to her and gives her everything, but later she sees the kind of guy he really is, and it isn't good. She leaves California to go back to her home town Idaho but Chad, the guy she met, needs to find her to get revenge for leaving him and messing up his life. The cops get involved but Chad doesn't stop. Will he find her or be found before he gets there?
(UNKNOWN WORDS) Inventory-checking something out. Metropolitan-could be from anywhere around you. Raided-stealing or robbing someone or somewhere.
(THEME) The theme of this book is choices and consequences. The choices you make in a day decide what your future will be like. In the book it says, "I'd feel to guilty. People would know something was wrong. I can't go this week. I'll go next week, though, for sure"(Weyland 52). In the book Kristen didn't choose the best decisions and in the next few days her life got a lot more complicated.
(OPINION) One thing I liked about the book is that it had a lot of peoples' point of view. I didn't like that some parts of the book were really dramatic and weird. I didn't like that there weren't very many details. This book wasn't really my type of book which is why I gave it two stars.

I was surprised at how much I liked this book! To be honest, I don't expect a whole lot out of most LDS novels, so this one was a surprise. Good plot, good development of characters, good resolution... The only thing I didn't enjoy were some of the descriptions of Chad Nieteri - the "bad guy." He was a jerk! The descriptions just showed how awful and disgusting he really was, so they needed to be there, but it still disgusts me that there really are people out there like that. But anyway, as a whole, this was a good, quick read. And right now, you can download it for free - http://deseretbook.com/free

I didn't enjoy this Jack Weyland novel nearly as much as I have his other ones. I felt the story was forced in several places and didn't flow as smoothly as I would have liked. I also didn't really like the ending all that much. I felt like since Kristen didn't have any sexual sins, she was able to be forgiven by her parents and by her boyfriend--like the Atonement takes care of everything by sexual sins.... Everything would be okay since she didn't do "that." BUT, the atonement applies to sexual sins as well and I think by approaching it the way Weyland did, that didn't come across.

This is a great quick read. It kept me reading to the end. Thought it had just enough to keep you interested. Not packed with suspense, pretty predictable, but I got out of it what I wanted! What did I want, you ask?? I wanted a quick read, that kept my attention, had a good moral story, likable characters, and some love :) The relationship in the end of the book needs some work throughout the book to make it more believable. However, it worked for me.
November 9, 2009
This book was definitely written for a teenage girl. I read it in about 2 1/2 hours. It was decent but very predictable. I thought it was pretty sad that she caved the first time she was offered alcohol. Is she really that weak? The end was pretty predictable too. No surprise twists. I didn't like how he chose to end things with the LDS cop either. Overall the book was okay but check it out from the library first if you are over the age of 16.

I love Jack Weyland books! They are fun and realistic! This book in particularly was the first that I read of his books and it made me want to read more of them!! I liked the main character in this book. She was very sweet and very innocent. I thought it was a very good plot. It was a very appropriate for teens and adults and I think that while it was a good read, it also had a lesson that we can all learn from.
February 22, 2008
I would like to point out to all of you, namely my brother and husband, that I read this book 2 or 3 years ago and I gave it two stars- barely two stars. See? I'm not an idiot who gives 5 stars to stupid books! I just read the other Weyland's when I was a youth and I rate them according to how I feel about them WHEN I read them.
June 13, 2008
I picked up this book at the library the other day. It was a typical Jack Weyland novel - which means it was pretty easy to read and very, very fast-paced. Well, maybe that's not the right way to put it. What I mean is, he makes up in plot for what he lacks in description. But that's not neccessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I liked the book!
February 6, 2009
Wonderful book. This is one I can highly recommend to everyone. It's not as "meaty" as recent books I've read, and it was pretty predictable - but it was a wonderful light read.
No bad language, no explicit sex scenes, and a good moral to the story.
This is a book I can recommend to all friends/family of all ages.

This was nothing like I expected with the illegal seizing of drug money and then the "chase" (not to give away what happens) Also a good look into choices and repentance. A fun, quick read with a lot of action. I hadn't read Jack Weyland since I was a teenager until recently with As Always, Dave so I picked up this on the bookmobile last time it was here and enjoyed the story.
June 30, 2009
Could I have a little grape juice with this cheese. I could not stand the dialogue of this book. No one talks this way. Chads dialogue just made me want to scream. This story could have been a really great LDS fiction. It could have been written so it was believable, with great moral lessons and appealed to a greater variety of people. I wouldn't recommend it.
November 3, 2009
This was a great short book to read. It wasn't so involving that I felt weighed down reading it. It is great fiction for LDS readers, who would understand the standards and beliefs of the characters.
There was suspense, and I wanted to see what happened. It was interesting enough that I kept reading. Not too heavy reading--good for a quiet afternoon/evening.

This is the first Jack Weyland book I've read and maybe someday I'll give another a try but I was so disappointed in this. It was pretty much a story out of The New Era, just super long. Didn't seem like a 'real' author wrote it, I could've written the thing for goodness sakes. Was kind of sad I wasted the time to read the whole thing.
September 17, 2012
I loved this book. I knew some of the places that were written about. I was excited when it talked about the little town of Squirrel. I have been there. It is an actual place. My Aunt & Uncle use to run the Squirrel Store. I love all of the books by Jack Weyland that I have read & was not disappointed with this one

Goes to UCLA and meets a sly guy. he acts like officer and does drug busts. works really hard at slowly leading her away into temptation. gets her to drink but never quite gets her to bed. his crew gets busted and his 3 buddies are killed. Kristen escapes to Ashton but he follows her, she gets him or nobody.

Kristen goes off to UCLA unprepared to face the temptations Chad and his friends confront her with. Now she faces the possibility that her life will be taken. I was very impressed with Officer Dutton whose honesty is not valued in California, but very appreciated by Kristen's family. This is a good read for a young adult.
June 12, 2008
This book starts out slow with character and story development. After all the intro development stuff it is an easy to read book that I really enjoyed. A lot of the book is easily predictable, but still pretty good...I would have given it 3-1/2 stars.
