Not What You Expect...

First off, this book only has the examples for the problems. It does not have any of the questions that one would need to you know...do the work!

This book does not have the code for MyMath Lab. If you want a code, it's going to cost you more than this book.

If you return it, you will only get half of what the book cost. All in all this book is a waste of money.

This book was not exactly what I expected.  It certainly kept me intrigued and was interesting commentary on how far people will go for the ones they love.  But in the end, it was just too odd.  Wildly creative.  Well written.  Just not my cup of tea.

This is not what I expected....I am not fond of books that are based on fantasy. It reminds me in that way of The Night Circus. I understand that it takes an extraordinary mind to conceive of a plot, but it is not for me.

When you buy anyone's first album it's an introduction of sorts.
The purchase can be based on word of mouth, infatuation with the artist, that one song you can't get out of your head, or a hundred other reasons. After spending your hard earned cash and getting your fix you might tend to be less demanding of the artist in question...after all it is their debut album.
The second time around everything changes. There are expectations...and if those expectations aren't met...disappointment. I think I'm sensing that in the Amazon.com staff review and perhaps in some others. This album simply wasn't what some people expected. On the other hand, I look at this album as an opportnity to really get to know Nickel Creek better. It is different, but it's fresh. No relationship really grows until the individuals involved show who they really are.
Nickel Creek is being honest enough to do that with "This Side." Frankly, I like them more now than before and I also like this album as much or more than their debut. I also sense that there will be more surprises to come as they grow as artists. Sophomore slump? No way....Probably more like sophomore expectations...

This was not what I expected.  I thought of the movie Three Men and a Baby and thought it would be more on that line.  WRONG!!!  This is more like a diary story, where you follow Ginny From six weeks pregnant to the Baby's third month.

It was at times a story that made me want to just shake her.  It was like watching a disaster getting ready to happen before your eyes and being unable to help or to make it better.  She seem to be unable to cope with the pregnancy, the break up of her love life, and her attitude made me nuts.

Did that make it a bad story? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  BUT if you go into this one with those preconcieved notions, it will not make you happy.  My advise is to see this one as it comes with an OPEN mind.

It actually is a good story, and for the most part I liked it.  It is really very much like real life goes. Where you are driving down the road ,and suddenly,things just sort of get away from you and you can't seem to get it back under control.  Then suddenly, it rights itself and life continues on.

I would recommend it with the reservation that you keep and open mind about the story.

I got this book as my free book for Amazon Prime and was surprised. It was not what I was expecting at all but it was interesting. The story took some very unexpected turns towards the middle.

It was an odd read because it's clear that the characters are terrible people but you're seeing it through the eyes of a child who doesn't really understand that.

In any case, it is worth the read.

Very different from what I expected, and it really makes you think about your actions and how those can affect others.

Again...Not what I expected...too short...too demanding to ask you to wait for the next book...finished this in record time of a couple of hours...should have been forewarned of its brevity and necessity of getting another book...**

Not what I expected...more of a paranormal horror story than an adventure/mystery.  Not a BAD read --- just not what I had expected.

Not the book I was expecting, but it's an okay read.  So to review.. This is not "Girl on the Train"... as other reviewers will remind you.  However, this book was still quick to finish, and it kept me interested.

Not really what I expected, but a good read anyhow.

This story was different to what I expected.  A touch romance, a touch UF, a touch paranormal - okay, a lot paranormal!  This is the first book in the M.U.C.I Files.  The hero, Jack, wakes up dead...well, yes he does.  He's dead!  Not to mention his arm falls off at the most importune moments.  But he's no ordinary zombie, and the story fleshes out with a host of characters of different backgrounds, providing a very interesting and different read to the norm.  If you're looking for something off the beaten track, give this a go.

I received this book as an ARC and it was better then expected, i thought oh a second book lets see how this plays out....i was sorely mistaken this book is totally out of the ordinary and very different from the first. i found myself emotionally attached to what was going on in the book and how the plot played out. at some points i was so frustrated and upset i had to put the book down for a couple hours until i could pick it back up again, it kept me intrigued and on edge. very different from most books i have read lately. was a wonderful read and cant wait until the 3rd!

It wasn't what I expected, but someone else may enjoy it.

I was expecting a much different book than this. It really grabbed me though and I couldn't put it Dow. Worth a read!
