Not sure how this book has so many positive reviews. It's extremely boring and repetitive. I got so tired of reading Vivienne questioning herself, questioning Jonah, second-guessing her therapist...over and over again! That's what 90% of the book is.

Seriously, It's just so bad. The characters are cartoonish, super evil or super angelic. There's no development of the many minor characters. Everyone has the same voice. It's just bad.

I would pass on this. Its cool for the first couple hours but becomes very repetitive.

The 50th anniversary splash surrounding this "classic" finally drove me to try it and I must admit, I really don't know why I bothered.  I was 5 years old when this book was written so I was obviously way more a part of the hippie generation than the beat generation.  Nevertheless, the story is boring (it's been a long time since it took such a long time to finish a novel)and repetitive, the writing is crappy, the insights are minimal at best, and there is not a single character that mattered to me.  I guess I'm glad I finally read it but what a tremendous disappointment.

A very special person got me this game, and I was grateful at first and tried to love it for her sake, not wanting to hurt her feelings that I didn't like a game she spent so much money on.

But it's repetitive and boring, with no clear goals.  All you do every day is check the television, gather the honey, fish, and farm.  If you're lucky you can get around to the city before you get too tired or all the shops are closed after you get done farming.

The same thing, day in, day out.  Even the hints and help I found around the Internet about this game didn't make it more fun.

ASPER'S HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is very boring the songs are repetitive and the plot is stupid even for a children's special I donated CASPER'S HALLOWEEN SPECIAL and MAD MAD MAD MONSTERS to a neighbor with a 7 children.

I love Watermarket and Shepperd Moons but this record is just pure boredom, I am very disappointed, I cannot listen to it without getting this feeling of stupidity due to the constant repetition of the musical lines. That's not music, its boredom. Get Watermark instead.

It's awful. I don't even have words to describe how boring and poorly crafted this tale is.

For it's time, this would have been a really good game. but, it;s very repetitive. It's an unlimited loop of the same thing only increasing in difficulty. i just find that it's too blank for me and there was really nothing that kept me interested. It's basically Dr. Mario only with Mario enemies instead of viruses...stack 2 of the same thing together and make it disappear, and match 2 egg pieces (top and bottom) to hatch a Yoshi. That's it.

The game play didn't interest me.  I wouldn't consider this an RPG, there's no plot, no leveling up and no XP.  There's just stickers, stickers and more stickers.  The battle system is annoying, repetitive and pointless.  You win a battle and you get stickers, which are also everywhere... so what's the point?  You can only use a sticker once so you have to hunt around for the really good ones, use them and then find them again.  I couldn't get into this game, it's boring and unrewarding.

The book is extremely repetitive and not well written in my opinion. There is a lack of continuity and the same themes are just repeated over and over. Yes you do learn about what is going on in the jail but you can read 30% of the books and you won't learn anything else in the rest. The books I read about other south east asian prisons were far better and more compelling.

In the past I'd really enjoyed this series, but after picking up books 9-11 and reading them all one right after the other in less than two weeks, I found this book especially to be too repetitious to thoroughly enjoy. The same descriptive phrases are used over, and over, and over again. Harry snarls, Molly whimpers, and Mouse pads. Murphy takes every opportunity to point out she's a cop. I felt like I knew every description of every character and their behavior before it even happened. Even the new twists at this point feel old and familiar, and not in a good way.

I'm disappointed there was no real follow up on Michael. I'm tired of hearing about the black counsel, when several books into the idea, it's still just a theory. Eventually I think I'll pick up book 12, but I think this is a series that you definitely need to have breaks between books.

It's supposed to be a mystery with a little dark romance,  but that happens in the first 1/6th of the book and then the h cries and freaks out the rest of the time. I get she was dealt something traumatizing in the beginning,  but it's just so repetitive with the story never going anywhere.

It's just her crying all the time.  The mystery isn't even that great.

Skimmed the last part

Save your time and space in your tbr pile.  Pass this one up.

I bought it for my database class. Yeah the book does its job but it's incredibly boring. I think databases were designed specifically to bore IT professionals to tears.
On top of that, it comes with one of those access codes / one time use things. Making it impossible to sell back on amazon or anywhere else. Its a greedy tactic and I wish the US would do something about access codes. As in make them illegal because this is robbery and I'm not going to let it just happen.

The story repeats the same problem, over and over and over.  If you are in real estate or finance you might understand better, but then I don't think it would be interesting.  I think the characters are boring and don't have much depth.

I got this book because i was very impressed  with the authors book called 7 habits of highly effective people....although that book was impressive this one is a waist of time and money.
Its long, boring and repeating the same thing again and again.... nothing original and i really  had to force myself to even get to half of the book.
It seems the author simply wanted to use his fame to write another book...what a shame

I felt like it was comprised entirely of stuff rightly edited from the previous 5 books in the series. It spent all its time rehashing old events from alternate viewpoints that do nothing to enhance the story or even expand the setting.  Just boring repetition and new disposable characters. Probably 70% of the entire book is told from the antagonist's perspective. This is something the author has done way too much in the past, but this book pushed that to the point that it is the first book of his I have ever regretted wasting my time to read.
