Maybe three and one half

Kind of a funky kind of book that takes sometime to get into.  I did like it but end seems a bit hurried a bit with nothing much tied up.  But a quick read

The five foot tree is closer to three and a half.  If you want a five foot tree you may want to order a seven foot description.

All in all, this was a good book although it doesn't quite pick up steam until the final third portion.

3rd book corrects the main issue of the first two, in that it gets to the point. Yes there are bits that could have been cut but after finishing it became clear the goal was to prevent the event rather than get out of it. It's a shame it took this long to become an interesting story and by that point I more wanted it to be over than cared about the end.

So in the end, does most of the story leading up this book matter? Not really. We still don't know why the "main bad guy" wanted to do what he was trying to do. To me at least not much of their previous experiences played a big role in the 3 kids who were the "heroes". Jack plays a minor role.

To me, the author could have presented a similar story in a different way, showing the real danger reasonably close to the beginning and letting it be more of a stop the event from the word go than this crazy chain of events where evil just wanted to be evil for no reason. This series could have been one book, probably about 500 pages and maybe would have been good to great. Less is more sometimes.

Lastly, in case you wondered, yes rape makes it was into this third installment. At least the threat of it. I have to wonder about the state of the author that he keeps going back to that well.

I like this music, although only two of the songs I really enjoy.  The rest of the CD is ok.

It was half a book, just starting to get a little interesting and it ended.  I felt it ended half way through.  It wasn't that good to start with so I will not buy the second book which should be part of the first.

I wish it were thicker, but 1/4" is right in the title. Two, maybe three of these stacked would be nice. At any rate, it's great for the price.

I rate Under the overs only three states because it took a while to really pull me in.  I continued to read on waiting for the book to grab me, and that finally happened about half-way thru the book.  I enjoyed the last half much more than the first half. I think it could've been less build up and more to the story and I would've loved an epilogue to get a view of what is going on in Hunter & Abby's life a few months/years done the road.

Cutting the one long book into two shorter ones, each including half of the cast of characters, works to a degree.  It becomes slightly jarring when you start Book Five and rehash some of the opening of Book Four.

Write faster, George!

If half stars were a possibility, this fine novel would merit a 4.5.

The first half of the book is basically building up to the second half, character development and such.  It was an interesting read and I enjoyed it but the author could have told the same story in half the time, which is why I'm giving this three stars rather than four.
The dialogue is smooth and the plot consistent.
there is one unpleasant sex scene but it is integral to the plot.

Carries on well from the previous novel. I would have preferred that it was one "fat" book, but I suppose you make more money with three books.

Lots of characters, sometimes difficult to keep track, but hey I've got one more novel to get them sorted in my head.

Starting No. 3 now.

Three and a half stars.

The book is halfway through before the story starts coming out. More could have been out into the beginning of the story.

If there were a little more action. It would be a 5.

Tenth is half visible . Other than that I'd buy it again for the price.
