Very similar to other books in the series

It was very simlar to the other books in the series which basically have the same plot.  Boy meets girl, boy thinks girls is a shday but then protects her, she loves him, he realizes he loves her and the admit thier love in the last few pages.  Not worth the $8 for the kindle edition.  I've read worse books and these aren't that bad. The book has been in circulation for several decades so it should be less than $2 for the kindle edition.

I really have enjoyed reading this series and would recommend it, but I would worn that it does get frustrating with the repetitiveness of the same situations over and over. If I never have to hear again about those shares of stock, I will be very happy. I was really looking forward to moving forward in this last book. (By the way this isn't the last one. There will be a bonus novella in November . ) but this book really doesn't move on,  it's just a continuation once again of more drama with the same situations from all the past books. It tries to be different with a new revelation in the storyline and this is where I thought it jumped the shark. It really did get very frustrating and I didn't even know if I wanted to continue reading it. But of course I couldn't. It conveniently wraps up nicely in the end. Worth the read. Nathan's story continues in her new series called Pulse.  I've  read the first two books. Not really books. They're just partial books to keep you reading.  There really isn't a storyline yet, we don't know many details. I read these books before this one and I really can't believe it's the same Nathan from this book. Actually it  doesn't even seem like the same author. Her writing style is very different. Again it's not much of a story just surface fluff. She promises more information in the two part finale.

I enjoyed the book, but not as much as the others in the series.  This was directed to a teen, I felt, and I would recommend it to that age group.

It is not as good as the rest of the books in the series.

After seeing Dray and Cassie so much in the other books I was really looking forward to this one and while it was a very good book the characters seemed a little different. I really liked it and was able to finish it just fine but I don't think there was anything super memorable about it. If you are a fan of the series you should definitely read it but I'm not sure I would use this one as the basis for a recommendation.

Unlike the other books in the series this one has songs and rhymes and other stories in it.  It's for parents like the others in the series but you can also read this one with/to your child.

I read the first Charlie Bone a long time ago - when it was new. At the time I felt it was a poor copy of the Harry Potter concept - too obviously deriviative. I finally returned to the series this week, reading the second book - and I think that this book manages to move away from the Harry Potter similarities and develop into a work in its own right.

The books are aimed at younger readers than Harry Potter, so comparisons are unfair. For their target audeince, these will be enjoyable books with a good adventure, and one that can be enjoyed by older readers too.

Not my favourite of Jenny Nimmo's work, but a good read all the same

Terry normally hits the ball out the park, Like with black staff series.

I felt this book didn't have the same rhythm and flow as book one and two of this series.  Much repetition and introspection on how Railing felt while the whole resolution of the foreboding and the tree was more rushed over.

I was excited to download this book - I got free for my honest review. I thought it would be like the other books - but this is not like the other dummies book. I thought it would be set up like the books - sections about lots of items but this does not seem to be the case - It is okay. Very short - thought this would have a lot more info and be fun to read.

Very similar to the author's other books and it plays within the same universe.  I didn't dislike it, just didn't really like it.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the other ones of this series. I like that some of the people in previous book are still included in this book. It is like hearing from old friends again.
I am waiting for the next one!

I've enjoyed this series so far.  It's a good series, but this book seemed repetitive.  Our hero seems to fall into the same pattern of being unsure of himself, his abilities, or what's going on, then by the end he's confident again only to repeat this. and the plot seems to follow suite; insurmountable foe, almost lose a battle, but overcomes in the end.  I don't want to be negative, and I do like this series and will continue to read it, but the developement of Tan seems to be a bit circular.

For those who have read the series this is a nice compliment to some referencing. Not as good as other books but I enjoyed it as well.

The title sounds a little harsh I admit, after all I have read all 5 books thus far so they can't be that bad but they o tend to follow a similar pattern throughout the series - you can kind of guess what's going to happen next without thinking too hard.

That said as a light read to escape the day this book and its predecessors do their job well.

It seems that the series are are the same  .  The characters names change, but the basic plot is exactly the same as the prior book in this series.  I will try the next book in this series, withholding there might be more of a plot.

OK, on the same line as other books I've read. Some adult readers might enjoy this series but I've already read two others series about the same, a little different
