Interesting read but poorly written. I don't consider myself an awesome write but I felt like the book had too much of a casual feel to it.  Perhaps I was looking for something that was more factual and less opinion based?

This book is, I don't know it gives me mixed feelings. Some parts of me just really enjoys the book and other parts of me is like meh. The story is very interesting and well written. But it feels like something is missing but I cant really say what it is.

The cover is beautiful and do represent the story in some aspect but not in others. This story is a bit different, but that is in a good way. I enjoyed it but I think that due to everything going on around me made me not really appriciate this book as much as I had hoped. The book was a quick easy read. I wish I could tell what I feel is missing but when I don't know myself its hard. I just know I got the feeling that something was missing.

I would recommend for others to read this book because it isn't a bad book or a badly written story, it is just not a book that cought me which is strange due to my love of dogs and animals. The book is worth reading.

I feel like I just read the outtakes and if nothing else it shows how important a good editor is

I'm happy that many people got so much from reading this book. It didn't appeal to me that much. I'm thinking maybe I should give it another chance. As  I was reading it I was feeling like it was a real downer.

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.

To be honest, this felt like it should be part of the introduction of the story and not as a prequel (or a novella as I think it's listed).  I think that I would need to read the actual book before making a true evaluation of the writer's style and the characters, but this prequel didn't really entice me to purchase the actual book.  I'll probably go back and purchase the book at a later date because the storyline sounds interesting, but it may not be soon.

Too many characters, many of whom don't develop enough for me to have a sense of their identity until halfway through the book.  Writing felt a little uneven to me, in some places her descriptions and dialog are brilliant, but others felt a bit forced and over the top.

If I had it to do over again, I am afraid I wouldn't.

Not sure how I feel about the characters and some of who they were vs. Who they were suppose to be.  But overall this is a book I recommend.

Sometimes I feel there might be just a tad too much development of the minor characters which causes me to rush through a page or two which then makes me feel guilty because I know how much effort went into writing those pages, but I'm too anxious to get on with the story.

I really wasn't all that thrilled. I realize that this wasn't meant to be a book so is therefore not written as such but still this story just seems thrown together.

This was just okay. It seemed predictable to me and I had the feeling of having read similar books before. However, the characters were sympathetic and the writing enjoyable. Not an essential read in my opinion.

I found the story somewhat incomplete and felt myself having to suspend belive more than I'd like.  The writing was not fantastic, but the story itself was riveting.  This really had potential, but in the end  I felt let down.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. I can't say that I didn't like it but I had to put it down, frequently. So maybe that being said, it's what the author was going for.. I will give the sequel a try. Maybe be more decisive after that one.

I rated this book a three stars because it was so UN real. When I read I want to be involved I like to feel like I'm one of the characters in the book and I didn't get that feeling. But it was still a alright book. I will read part two because two May be better

I was not overly fond of the writing style or the way the author kept going back and forth in time with his characters~ It took me almost 3/4 of the way through the book before I fully got a feel for the main players in the book... That said though, I did enjoy the book and found many good points to make it an okay read.

I felt like I was halfway through the book before all the gushing reviews, thank you's and name shout outs before the book began. Maybe I'll start reading the actual book tomorrow.

No it just wasn't really there for me. As I was reading it I was actually thinking ways up in my head that it could have been written better. I know there are more books in this series but the characters just aren't really the kind to make you want to KNOW what's going to happen.
