Good book, I am a little disappointed that some of the lines don't connect in spots so it is easy to miss color.

This was a good book but I only give it four out of five stars. I was a bit disappointed in the last third of the book as it felt like Bill had rushed it to completion.  (Spoiler Alert:) The issue I had was that when he decided/recognized that he couldn't make the thru hike, that his book fell off.  This might be a good reflection of how he felt, going back to make section hikes, etc., but it didn't carry the same allure as the earlier parts in the book.  But still a good book and as I said in the summary, typical Bryson. He is a great author to read and I highly recommend all of his books.

It's not the authers fault. I had very high expectations and really should have been realistic. Other than that the book was good and answerd alot of questions. I was dying to read it and just was expecting something bigger. Removing my expectations, a good read and did have unexpected moments.

Overall I enjoyed the book.  But some things just let me down

SPOILERS**

Iris being only 18 just didn't sit right with me.  I get that Lilley was trying to express the importance that age is JUST a number, but I couldn't get on board with this.  And it REALLY didn't sit well with me that Iris got pregnant at this age also.  It felt like such a cop out.  I mean, don't get me wrong.  It's nice that Iris and Dair get their HEA, but Lilley has done the whole "2 years later, some time later" thing before; and while I overlooked it in the Bad Things trilogy, I can't do it in this one.

The storyline and Iris' reason for herillusiveness is a little far fetched.  I get it, it's not real life, but the culmination of events left a lot to be desired.  It felt a little rushed to me.  It was just this moment of BOOM "secrets out- 5 seconds to deal, now ACCEPT IT"

I don't know.  I enjoyed the series as a whole, and I most definitely do not regret buying it, but this last book was a little anti-climactic and a bit of a let down.  Overall it was good and I enjoyed the read.

I liked the  book very much, but was a little disappointed in the ending.  I was hoping for more story, but I guess you could make up how the story might go on yourself.  I didn't know that "orphan trains" existed, but looked them up and found they were real,  which added a lot to the book.

I really liked this book, but thought it was kind of weird that it has separate two-page spreads for both violet and purple, but there is no mention of pink. Yet in the back of the book where it asks, "What is your favorite color?" and has a picture depicting a bowling ball knocking over differently colored pins, one of them was pink.

Overall, good book, but two mentions of what is, in the mind of a toddler, the same color and no mention of pink was strange to me.

I really did enjoy this book.  I was a little disappointed that Lizzy did not defend Darcy when Wickham told her his tale.  She should have defended him because of her friendship with Georgianna.  Other than that I did like the story line and have read it twice.

It has been a couple weeks since I finished this book, and figured I would put in some reviews today.  Some of the stories in the book are great, while others leave a little bit to be desired.  All in all a great collection of stories.  I would give it a 3.5 if available but did not think I would push it to a 4 on this one.

Great book, but the physical book is not what I expected. It is a little girls face, and the whole book is grey and white. It also came eith little imperfections like wrinkles on the cover. Other then that, it was a good book.

I received this book for an honest review.

I really liked most of the book.  This book really tries to develop each character to the point of slight annoyance.  I mean, yes, each person should have their own story and explanation why they behave the way they do, but some characters die before it even matters who they were or they become one-note and kind of useless except as cannon fodder.  That's just a minor quibble I had with the book as a whole.  The part that nearly ruined it for me was the (spoiler alert) alien angle.  I expected this to be a paranormal/zombie/Hills have Eyes kind of book, but aliens?  Come on.  Luckily it was just a minor footnote in the story, so I didn't have to dwell on it.  It's still a good book and I look forward to more of the series.

This book was difficult to find at a reasonable price.  So, when I found this deal I was excited. It was mentioned that it had some wear to the cover but made no indications that it had been used. I am not opposed to purchasing used books but would have appreciated if there would have been mention that it had been written in in several different places.  So, I was a bit disappointed but am satisfied with the book overall.

Well, I liked the whole book.  Although I had the answer to most of the mysteries, the ending was very good - one that I expected but not so much wanted it to be.  I was a bit confused by the first chapter - like I missed something from the previous book or missed the previous book.

I like the book but was disappointed in that a lot of pictures of the artists are displayed, but only some of the names and careers were added.  So I don't know who all of the artists whose pictures I see actually are.  I was surprised at how thin the book actually is, but am otherwise happy with it.  It came in record time and in new condition except for a small bend in the cover probably caused by the packing.

I think this was a good book. However, I must admit that I liked this one the least. There were one or two things that were hard to accept. One example was how quickly she survived the beating and no food while pregnant. However I would still recommend the book. It helps you understand all the characters in books to come or even pass books. It really is a good book. I just like the others better.
