Not what I expected...

I purchased this journal because the description lead me to believe there were writing prompts, fun quotes, etc. The first couple of pages are like that and the rest is essentially a notebook where one page reads "Dear Mom" and the next reads "Dear Daughter". It's a nice journal, but not what I was looking for or expecting based upon the product description.

Very disappointed.  Not from a music quality standpoint, just that I did not expect it, or want it to be a traditional country effort by Jay Farrar and company.  I was so disappointed I don't think I finished listening to the entire recording.  If it ain't broke; don't fix it!

This book wasn't my cup of tea.  It is supposed to be funny and wasn't even kind of cute.  I was surprised.  It's a great concept but I was expecting a bit more.

This was a "borrowed" book that I was able to get for being an Amazon Prime member. I believe the author of this book had good intentions, though the story is not what I expected at ALL from the summary. The characters were half-developed and pretty unbelievable. I also had a hard time with the dialogue - these people did not speak to each other like normal people talk. They were stiff and formal, with a few curse words thrown in for good measure. The story itself was very...different. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, but I found the story itself fairly hard to believe. My opinion is that a lot of the story could have been left out to allow for further character development. That may have made it a little easier for me to read.
In a nutshell, this book entertained me for a few days, but I would not recommend it to a friend.

I bought this book for a book club and while it was an enjoyable, quick read, it was not the story I was expecting. I thought the story would be more about the experiences with her son's being born with a disability, but that is more of an incidental. Good story anyways, just slightly hard to follow at times and more of a life narration than a story about her life with a disabled son.

This was a book that didn't live up to expectations at all - from everything I have read and seen about this book, I expected it to be amazing.  I get that this is not your typical Dom/Sub story, with both Lucian and Tara demonstrating dom characteristics.  While I came away having enjoyed it, I was left unsatisfied and confused by the characters and their relationship.  I will be reading the second round in the hopes that it becomes clearer.

After reading so many raving reviews... I was a little disappointed.. I had a hard time staying interested. Would read a little and then lay it down for a while. Just not what I expected.

I didn't enjoy this book very much, because it was not what I expected.  It was wierd for me to be reading about the holocaust and detailed sexual relationships in the same story.  At least for me those two don't go together.  I found myself wondering how much longer until I finish the book, where as a good book you never want to finish.

Just arrived and I wish I had paid more attention to what I was ordering. This isn't what I was expecting. I thought it was the actual book.

I must admit that I did think I would enjoy reading this book at first. But as I continued reading I found that it was not what I expected and not in harmony with my beliefs and found it hard to keep on reading it. Was hoping to be able to see the value and gave it my best-
Don't think I would read any more from this author-glad I had a chance to receive it and post a review even though Whitefire publishing didn't require the review

It's a good book but definitely not what I was expecting....it's a little more vulgar than I would have liked.

not what I expected or hoped for, not my taste.

Not what I was expecting from the title (a book of puzzles).  This is actually more teaching about codes, how they are created, etc.  It includes puzzles from each type discussed.  Not sorry I bought this book but would not have bought it had I seen it in a store, as it is not exactly what I usually consider fun.

This book is totally different than what I was expecting.  I was expecting a true crime recollection from an actual childhood murderer.  What I got was a wild, drug-influenced, sex and murder-filled wall of words.  It is simply the oddest book I have ever read.  I'm not saying the book was horrible, and I feel privileged to have read it for some reason, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.  If you happen to be actively seeking it out, then you will read it regardless.

I have heard this book recommended by a number of people, so I thought I would read it--my disappointment comes from the fact that I expected it to be something of a "how to"--it is really just a report of this lay Brother who "practiced the presence of God."  Inspiring, yes, but not what I expected.
