Good, but not as enjoyable as the others

While I liked this movie fine, it just didn't have the same level of enjoyment for me as the previous ones for some reason.  I suspect it was because they simply tried too hard to tie the story in to the old Peter Pan movie.  It's still definitely worth a watch with the kids, though.

For readers of the "library lover's series," this book is enjoyable, but in my opinion, it is not the best in the series.  Much of the action and plot center around an upcoming local production of Shakespeare--the rehearsals, costumes, sets, and related activities.  It's enough to make a coherent plot, but overall I didn't find this installment quite as compelling as the previous ones.  It's a series worth following though, and there were some original elements to the plot of this one, so it is still a worthwhile contribution to the series.

Loved the first two books in this series. This one was good as well. I think my reason for holding back on the stars is due to the plot of this book in comparison to the others. It just didn't read as compelling of a story as the first two. I found myself skimming at times, just to move things along. Again, it isn't that this book wasn't well written. It's just that I found the other two to be truly excellent and this one lacked that same riveting pace.

This series is getting old, and not quite as exciting as the others...but since I've read the other 10, I guess I will keep going.

To be clear, I read the 3 books in one weekend so perhaps I am comparing back to back too much. This book was Ok but not as great at the others.
i think the reason being - too much war - got a little bored by the end and was literally advancing pages to get to the end.
Not to give anything away but the death and miraculous recovery at the end - just a bit too tied up neatly.
I didn't feel as emotional over this as the others, which made the other books much better.
But - series over and tied up neatly (sort of). If you have invested in the other 2 - you have to finish it.
On to the next book!

I have really enjoyed all of these Back Down Devil MC books and for most of this one, I was captivated...just can't put my finger on why exactly I didn't quite love it as much as the others.
It had the usual violent club business, the bossy alphas fighting for supremacy, the needy and easy club girls and a woman who was trying to get away from one bad situation, only to end up in a worse one.
The romance was hot and nasty and although it started off unconventionally, it turned out to be really good and I liked the ending (even if things seemed at times to be far-fetched).
An ok addition to the series but not as good as some of the earlier books.

**** 4 **** "they called him monster for a good reason" stars

Excellent, but (in my opinion), not quite up to the previous offerings.

This is the 4th installment of the Tome of Bill.  I still really liked it, but it was my least favorite of the bunch. Bill is coming up against some pretty serious stuff now and he can't exactly crack wise as much.  The series is becoming more of an actual vampire series instead of a comedy story of a nerdy chubby guy that happens to turn into a vampire.  I still recommend it, because some cool stuff happens.  I just hope that book 5 goes back to the roots of the story, which is still possible.

Really liked this book, but it wasn't quite as good as the first two in the series which were amazing!

I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the previous books in the series.

I love this book, and the Get Fuzzy comic in general. But I have to agree, its just not as funny and satisfying as the other ones. It could have been a bit funnier, and the book did have its really hilarious moments (Bucky getting a shirt for Satchel that shows a picture of a certain type of drug plant and the shirt beneathe it says "Legalize it") and it still remains interesting. I can't wait for the next books.

Not quite up to par. Enjoyed the others much more.

I really love this series by Sujata Massey.  However, this book was my least favorite of the bunch.  I still give it three stars because it's NOT BAD...but her other books are so much better, especially The Bride's Kimono, Zen Attitude and The Flower Master.  I'm looking forward to reading The Typhoon Lover.

For die hard Rei Shimura fans, of course you should get this to make your collection complete, but I'm just warning you I felt this was not as engaging as the other books in this series.  For those of you who want only the best, perhaps you should skip this one.

There wasn't as much mystery or suspense to this one as others in the series but it was still fun to read. I thought the premise was good and the teaser had me very interested, but the book itself didn't deliver as much as I felt was promised in the teaser. I was able to read it quickly in an afternoon and did enjoy the time. It's an enjoyable HEA to relax to. I just wasn't as impressed with the suspense/mystery in this novel vs others in the series. It fit the series well though and I enjoy mentions of other characters from the series without having to read them (even though I have). I look forward to more from this author/series. I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the previous two books, Red Rising, and Golden Son.  I did enjoy Morning Star, and am happy that I read I read it.  However, this book is my least favorite in the series.  It took a long while to get moving, and I had to force myself to keep reading.  It also didn't flow as well as the previous two.  Nevertheless, it was a good read.  I did buy the series and will re-read them time and time again.  I really got swept up in the books, and look forward to more from the author!  Two thumbs up!

Not my favorite book in this series. While I could barely put down the other books, I had to make myself finish this one. To me, it felt like a really long one-dimensional story that could have been summed up in 50 pages. I found the characters, so vibrant in previous books, were dull in this one. The twists were okay, but nothing earth shattering. I'm going to hope this book is a fluke, and I will continue reading the series. This book set up some pieces that I'm sure will play out in future ones. I couldn't even find Evie likable in this one. There was lots of repetition from her POV and about her feelings. I did like getting to see more of Circe in this book, and I also appreciated Sol's character. Death was a little too flat for me in this one. With all that said, I would still recommend the series.

Normally I love Jamie Beck's books, but somehow this one didn't quite live up to the previous ones.  The story is really well done and the characters are great, the flow is just not quite there and I had a hard time getting through the book.  For whatever reason, I just couldn't seem to care enough about the characters to want to know what was going to happen next.  There is actually a lot going on in this book and the characters are really well written so it may have just been too deep of a subject matter for the frame of mind I was in when I was reading it.
