Could have been better

The printing was not up to par, the photos were a little washed out looking, not enough color photos of a great North American product.

I just wish i could have the star. The book wasn't bad but it really did have some lack luster Deus Ex Machina because plot holes. And the Narrator really could have done a better job. I always have the speed setting on normal, and she sounds like shes talking a mile a minute. I'm willing to bet what could have been a 6 hour read was cut short by poor plot planning and a speed mouth narrator.

Very Formula.  Very predictable. Could have been better . . . .

The Christian under tones was very much in your face. The story didn't make too much sense. It could of been better.

It was nice seeing the couples again. There was a great deal of sickeningly sweet exchanges between them, though. Too much was packed into too short of a story. Mac and Connor would have been better in a novel. Some of it seemed rather pointless. There was too much detail taking up space that could have been used to offer more of a plot. I didn't get the point of Anthony getting ill. Why not have more interaction with Dean? Could have been better without the sex scenes, that were bland and uninteresting. Also too choppy, with scenes switching between couples and events. I didn't totally dislike it, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped.

This is the first paranormal romance for this author...and, unfortunately, it shows.  The characters are a bit underdeveloped, especially the lead female protagonist.  Throughout the book, she made one mistake after another, having to rely on the male lead character to "bail her out" of most situations. There's a typical "evil monster" which they need to kill in order to "save humanity".  The problem is, the way the book's written, the monster is somewhat intelligent and does show caring in it's own way.  It would have been fascinating to have taken that aspect to a higher level...but the author just sticks with the formulatic "humans good...monsters bad" story.  This story was promising, it could've been so much better that it was.

This book could've benefited from better editing. Some parts were exceptionally gruesome, needlessly so. Reminds me of a movie that editorial liposuction could have made more enjoyable, and more memorable.

Considering that this was written by some fairly well known authors I really expected more. I just didn't spend long enough with any one character to really care about them. I am still slightly stupefied as to why the first couple ended up together - going from finding the other's manner off putting on first meeting to engaged a day or two later with no real reason (except perhaps physical attraction?) just isn't believable for me. I also didn't feel the novel flowed gracefully from one part to the next. I felt it would have been better officially broken into three parts and not just divided into chapters. It was discocerting to suddenly jump points of view and have things broken up with background story (which could have been left out as all relevant parts were brought up later and it would have been more interesting to slowly discover that interlude) plopped down in between two chapters as we switched from part 1 to part 2. Especially for $6.99 (price current as of review if I am remembering correctly) I would not purchase this.

it could have been better there wasn't a clear picture as to who the characters were, I couldn't paint the picture in my mind. It seemed rushed and all over the place. But overall an ok read

the title of this review says it all pretty much.  This movie had a lot of potential.  Don't get me wrong, it did have some extremely funny scenes, and the special features aren't terrible, but it could definitely could have been better.

I'm not a writer, but I am an avid reader. It was a good story but it could have been more well crafted. It seemed to have a lot of filler than didn't really advance the story. I skimmed over Mace's tales because they didn't seem to be relevant. I would have understood the character development better if Mace had lived to carry on in the series. I also had difficulty getting past the misuse of the apostrophe. As another reviewer reported, the punctuation errors pulled me out of the story. A couple of times a character was said to have made a "statement" when it was clearly a question.
I wish Mr. Glass success as a writer and will see how this series develops, but will be happy to see better editing.

Unfortunately, The Dog Walker didn't live up to the reviews.  It was shallow and left too many threads that could have been interesting untouched.  Oddly enough, I did finish reading it.  The main character showed glimmers of being interesting, but the author wouldn't let them shine through.  I would have loved to see the relationship between the brothers develop to some depth and replace the predictable cheesy love story.  The neighbors were quirky and could have also been a source of enriching the novel.  It was a great idea for a story, but needs better execution.

The book is good, but could have been better. Some of the dialog is, in a word, crummy. One situation in particular  (spoiler alert) when an Eastern European "Suit" is captured by American forces and taken to a safe house in Washington D.C., only to kill his three U.S. abductors and simply walk away from his house of detention is just complete BS. Still, the writer shows promise
..the beginning of the book reeled me in, the middle less so. And what's with the nonsense of making this book s two-parter, and directing the reader to another website in order to download the second half of the book? Did not like that at all.

This was a great idea for a story. Sadly the writing was not nearly as great as the idea... This was not a terrible book, it just was not as good as it could have been.

Fantastic idea but the execution left something to be desired. I thought you couldn't go wrong with a small group of mercenaries (think PREDATOR) landing on an island full of monsters! Predator meets Aliens meets King Kong. But the story was just mediocre. The characters weren't flushed out so I didn't really care when one died. I didn't really care for the idea of Elves being on "Monster Island". Not LOTR Elves. More like Thor Dark Elves. Still.....The art was pretty good. The writing should have been better. I expected more.

I chose this rating because it was good but not great. The main person is predictable as well as new friends. I sound like it was not enjoyable but it was. just comparison to. the book of kings. etc it fell short.

I don't know what to say about this book except it could've been better. Still a good book but there was definitly something missing for me.
