Maybe I just missed a scene or something...

I wanted this to be a great movie, but it's not. It's important to convey that the acting is superb and the dialogue feels real and engaging, but the plot is simply too vague. Having said that, it's worth seeing the performances.

It was unevenly filmed, to my eye. Lots of period-type music and running around; seemed more like a high school musical than a serious movie. perhaps different editing might have helped, I don't know. it's certainly a topic crying out for more movies.

Because of the amount of time spent on characters and events out of sync with the main plot, this was tough for me to really engage. I love the series but this addition doesn't make sense ... yet. I'm hoping the next book will make this one feel more like it belongs.

I may have missed something but how could Valentin be working along side harry at the college, wanting to help him when the student was making false accusations against him when he really wanted to kill him?  And how is it that harry did not see that Valentin was his professor colleague when he went to rescue his psychologist friend aune stale?  And since Valentin changed his shirts before every visit with his psychologist in the psychologist's office, how is it that the psychologist did not see the tattoo before that day?  And what about Beate's "boyfriend"?  Wasn't she sleeping with Valentin?  How could it have taken her so long to recognize who he was?  And what was the connection with that little dead girl who was set aflame in that bar and Valentin?  I have lots of questions about this book.  It is certainly possible that I missed something big.  I have gone back through the book over and over to no avail.  It bothers me that after finishing all 10 books that I am left feeling so unfulfilled. Unless someone can explain these things, I will have to give this book far fewer stars than I might have.

The characters were interesting but it wasn' t enough.  I felt like there was something huge missing, not that I can put that missing something into words.  The kids just seemed like spoiled ass rich kids to me which lost its interest for me after a while, but I was invested and kept watching.  I was not fulfilled.  I was waiting for some great thing to happen with Aura, some great climactic moment and not so much.  I felt cheated on my investment of time watching this.  The characters seemed authentic enough and there was dedication to developing them, but everything put together was just lacking for me.  There were some good laughs, but I really don't recommend it.

I think I must've missed something reading this book. I guess I kind of expected a "reason" for the book - or an actual storyline - rather than just a birds' eye view at a small town and the life of 8 or so people when they were kids and then as they enter each other's lives again years later. There didn't seem to be a point... and it is a possibility that the lack of that is my own failing... I just kept expecting something "more". The writing is easy, the conversations seem real, the description of the area is beautiful ... I just think it didn't pull it all together for me anywhere.

Read this 2 days on vacation, a good read but SPOILER.... Did i miss the part where she got pregnant!? I don't remember the event being talked about at all, were we supposed to assume how she got pregnant??  Other than that, im content. No "shockers" till the epilouge.

When reading continuations like this, I always love hearing about what the characters have been up to. My issue with this story, where is Rafe's lady at? There was no mention of her at all. Given the timeline, I would have thought they would have been planning their own wedding by this point. Why was she missing?

I feel like I missed what everyone else saw in this book.  I found the writing to be just okay, and there were far too many characters - probably more than were necessary??  I don't know - just didn't really resonate with me at all.

there was not a very clear outline of what the episode was about... ended up having already seen the episode, so that was a disappointment.

we started watching episode 1 & gave up. The accents made it hard to understand what was going on & so we turned on the subtitles, but there seemed to be a jumble of unexplained disjointed scenes without dialogue & again,we just couldn't figure out what was going on. We've never read the books this is based on so perhaps that's necessary to understanding...or perhaps we're just not British enough ~

I love the movie, but the video skipped for part of it. Not sure if it was the player, the internet, or the movie, but it was super annoying.

May contain spoilers! There is absolutely no explanation of what the Japanese woman's connection to the Foot Clan is...it feels like there is a whole story left being untold here.  Also, apparently the Turtles stumble into all of the Foot Clan in their lair, the Foot take a few potshots, but then...give up?  They're supposedly all over this chemical plant but they're practically nonexistent in the last 20 minutes.  Heck, there's no security for the chemical plant and Vern and April just walk around all over the place, despite the fact that it's the base for an evil crime lord who wants to poison New York City.

The entire fight with  Shredder appeared very formulaic: turtles get their butt kicked, regroup, start fighting again, start winning, end up throwing their weapons at Shredder, end up beating Shredder.

And I wish they had stuck with the original concept of the Foot Clan more.  Maybe not all in purple outfits, but it seems silly to make them not ninjas when they are called the Foot Clan...or not use the idea of them being robots when one of the villains owns an entire robotic facility.

Nice job on classic references, including "tonight I dine on turtle soup."

I waited to read the entire series before doing my review.  I enjoyed the heroine overall, but there are some abrupt ending to story lines that didn't make sense to me...**spoiler***  I like seeing her progress through the academy, and her sorcery partnership with merrin was going strong , then all of a sudden  ... pffffftttt.  Gone.  The whole story line, gone.  I don't know why.  it soured things for me a bit.  then, at the end, why couldn't the whole romance thing taken a few chapters  rather than a rushed finale?  I didn't get a chance to enjoy where the final thread was leading, so it too, slightly disappointed

Did I miss something?  Was this a sequel?  This was really more of a short story. Did not get in depth with the characters at all. Know almost nothing about the main character so leads  me to believe there is "more to the story".  And what happened when the "thief" of the relic found out it was returned to the museum?  Too many unanswered questions for me...

I still don't understand so many things. Why did the Others think progress was a bad thing for the world? Were the Others still alive or were they dead? How would blowing up the mothership stop/kill the Others in the long run? Were the Silencers really Others or were they humans with implanted Other memories (the latter was explained in the book but Cassie seems to take it as fact that Evan looked like an alien when she was downloaded with his memories)? So much of this book was abstract and flowery, constantly about what is humanity, what is good for humanity, blah blah blah. I just didn't get it.

I've read EVERY SINGLE book in this series and Puck/Gillian just don't make sense to me. I understand that maybe there wasn't a beleivable transition from William the Ever Randy to devoted to Gilly Gumdrop William.
 Although the actual writing was good, as always, I just couldn't see the story. It didn't  seem as realistic to me as her others have. (Yeah as real as paranormal romances can be right?)

Maybe my beef was with the fact that the Liam/Gilly seeds had BEEN planted for several books now and nothing else seemed plausible?
Oh well, I wish I could give this book more stars, but if I hadn't felt Gilly and Liam had been shoved into someone else's story I definitely would have:(
