I really like the product a lot. BUT I read too fast and didn't notice it did not have my fav app Publisher. So now i am kinda P'O'd But other than that is sparkles for office. But they have to stop making so many frickin versions.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I have to say I was not impressed. I have not read the first book. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this one more if I had. At least that way I would have understood more what the Gravediggers are and how they came to be.

I wish that this book had addressed more on the muscles.

I think it was a very interesting concept...fleshing out the stories behind these strange photographs. It's a little hard for me to put my finger on it, but perhaps I feet that it would have been better if the peculiarities and this world with other peculiar children were explained more. I understand that the crux of this story involved this limited set of characters, but the little details seems to be sacrificed to pack a lot of action into this first book.

This book was a good start I guess but I was expecting a bit more information and it left me wanting to know more.

It was a great start but I feel like it was to short for my reading and it should continued on

I WOULD GIVE IT A HIGHER RATING IF THERE HAD BEEN
PICTURES. I am visual and find it difficult to go through
A casual read without a few pictures to give my eyes a rest.

This was a good read for review but had I not read Pigs in the Parlor first I would have felt like I didn't get enough information. I am certain that I will read this again.

Good  book, but could have been just a bit better. Probably shouldn't have read book first.

I was not aware that it was part of a series. I hope I am able to take the time soon enough to not forget what I have already read.

Maybe should I've read it in a timely fashion I could of enjoyed it more. Nice story line tho.

I read this book after I had read the Book 1 of the series.  Wish I hadn't.  Figured a Prequel should be read first, and didn't even realize it was out there until I was already into Book 1.  Don't make the same mistake I did.  Wait until after reading all 3 book before you read the Prequel.  I really think I would have enjoyed the surprise information a lot more had I waited.  Also wish I would have just purchased the collection right up front.  If it is a new author I've never read any of their books before, I usually download a sample of the book first just to make sure I like the writer's style.  I did, but still just ordered the first book only.  I wish the samples were just a tiny bit longer so you got a better understanding of plots before you spend a lot of money to purchase multiple books at once.  Anyway, the Prequel was still worth the money.  Glad I bought it and read it.

I'm going to have to be really honest here: I haven't read the book properly.  Amazon offered it, and the previous books all had good reviews, so I took them up on the offer.  I immediately used prime to order the first books on the series, as well as the side books that the author has written in this world.  I thought I'd have time to read them all before this review came due.  I  was wrong, and now I'm late and I really don't want to read this book since I've invested so much time into reading the series correctly (in order).  I just need to read more, and read faster.

But I need to review this book, because, as I said, I'm late.  To do that,  I simply dedicated a morning spent carefully reading two or three page excerpts at random.  It hasn't ruined anything for me, that I know of (yet), and I've randomly read a lot of pages throughout the book.  Quite a few things were a little tantalizing to read.  I'm sure when finally get to it in order that I'll probably have a little foreknowledge of what's coming, but oh well, I know it's going to be good!

My first thought is that is more of the same that I already knew (assuming this isn't your first book of the series): he's a good writer.  Especially when I'm just jumping around randomly.  But the exposition is notably good.  Good enough that I never really feel lost in it.  Just enough is said to either remind me about what's going on (if I already knew) or give me a heads up if I didn't recognize anything.  So, if you're just completely crazy and want to read this book first, it probably wouldn't go poorly for you.

My second thought is "why oh why did I invest in a novel series that wasn't done yet?"  I'd thought I'd have learned my lesson by now.  I should only read novel series which are finished!  I'm going to really regret reaching the end of this book because then I have to wait.

Overall, I'm quite happy that I was introduced to this entire series.  This one included.

As for the plot, I almost never go into that in reviews.  Go to google if you want to read about the plot, lots of people have surely lain it out by now.  There's probably a wikipedia page on it already.  I, instead, talk about my likes and dislikes.  And, for what little exposure I've had to this novel, I like it!  Mostly because he's a good writer, and those are hard to find these days.  I also like it because (the entire series) has an interesting and somewhat novel world that it takes place in.

I enjoyed the story although I must have been expecting more, from the reviews, because it just left me feeling like there was more coming or something.

I intended to read a great deal more books than I actually did. However, I think THE MOONLIT GARDEN I interacted with were helpful. Since Im not one for writing long book reviews, I decided to write on some of the more enjoyable books I read. They are not listed in any particular order except that I hope everyone will read THE MOONLIT GARDEN Ive listed from Corina Bomann.

I feel he could have added more information to this book .Pictures made up the majority of the book. I. would have preferred more substance.
