Hoping there will be more to read...

Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining all the way through.  You can feel the passion the author has for the oceanic environment where the story takes place.  The characters are so clearly defined for the reader to care; and yet, so much of their story still begs to be told.  I certainly hope we get to read more from DH Brooks sooner than later.

I did enjoy this book.  I was looking for more......wish the author would have expanded on this story. Sad to read The End.

The story kept you wanting more, but it would be nice to know more about what they found.  Maybe part two?

A surprisingly good read from a developing author. Some areas of the storyline needed further refinement and development, yet, however I was intrigued enough to finish the book- and still want more. As is, this book deserves a three star rating, at best. However, I'd really like to see more from this writer and think a higher rating can help to support this developing talent.

After seeing that there are nearly four hundred reviews on Amazon about this novel, I am not sure I have anything new or enlightened to add. However, although many reviews rave about The Virtues of Oxygen, I was hoping for so much more.  The novel has a strong beginning, yet seems to fall short as it develops. I love the story about Vivian, who has lived her entire life in an iron lung after being stricken with polio at the age of six.  I loved Holly who is a young widow and trying her best to raise her sons and make ends meet.  Vivian's podcasts recounting her childhood are great to read, and kept me wanting to read more.

But.... the idea that a gold buying business comes to a small town, and that it can actually succeed seems a bit far-fetched.  Racine, who runs the business, might be interested in Holly. Or he might be a con artist.  Somewhere along the way, I felt as though this novel lost steam.

Would I read more work by Schoenberger? Yes.  Definitely.  And The Virtues of Oxygen was enjoyed by many readers.  I enjoyed it. But I do wish it would have lived up to my expectations and what the first few chapters had me excited about.

I hope the author is going somewhere good with whatever is going on with Discord's "hallucinations' if that is what is really going on. I was looking forward to a better progression of her story, but this could be a serious stumbling block. Still will be checking for new installments frequently.

Hoping this gets made into a longer novel or a movie. I don't know for sure but I think the author is British

I so enjoy this author team.  I only wish it had been a full book.  I understand that this is a reprint from their blog/website.  I can see so much potential in this "world".  I would like to know more about it and get more story.  I might start reading the blog to follow this.  The characters are interesting.  It will be fun to watch this develop.

There are some parts which I would like to read about more in details or rather story itself could be more developed around one of the major character dying or about actual battle between good and evil or .... Some plots or character behaviour seems to be there only to fit general story. Open ending suggest that there will be more of it with hopefully nice twist (assuming from last talk between Envy and A-O). Even thought I have some thing to point out I did not like in the book I loved the book (story) in general and I am waiting for follow-up in third book in the sequel.

I enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one!  I was hoping to get a little more in-depth with the characters, but am hoping the next book will fill in the blanks.

I loved the candid nature of this book, but found that I was more interested in the goings on that were more recent like her pregnancy and what about addressing the sex tape scandal?  I thought I saw on her show that she was adding something to the book to address that?  To me, it seems like there's a lot of room for a second book.  I'm pretty sure in two years time she will have had enough baby experience to give her take on that and by then I would imagine her marriage will have crashed and burned or become stronger from this whole experience, so either way there will be plenty of stories to cash in on.

Looking forward to reading more of this series.  Hoping that the background will develop. A little confused if Eva is dead

I enjoyed the use of technology, and the general plot was interesting - but I kept moving through the novel hoping for more depth that never arrived.
I would give the author's next book a look, but I hold out recommending this book to most of the people I know.

I was quickly pulled into this book, and I think this is a very good read.  Having said that, I wish the author had explained more about the characters and their abilities along the way.  I am almost done, and I'm still not sure who is what, and what the can do.  Since this appears to be a first work, I think this author is one to watch, and I certainly look forward to the next one.  Well worth the small price!

I enjoyed this book mostly because I remember the places (the Exit, Neo, etc.) that the author speaks about.  However, it reads more like an 'outline' for a book. I had hoped for more in depth, fleshed out chapters.  The talent is definitely there, and I look forward to the next offering from this author!
