I agree that it totally could've been wrapped up in one book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-55415162622414814632010-08-17T14:55:37.943-04:002010-08-17T14:55:37.943-04:00You know I have to say now that I think about it, ...You know I have to say now that I think about it, knowing that this was a series (or a potential series) may have increased my enjoyment of it toward the end. I wouldn't have worried so much about wrapping up loose ends. I may have even bumped up my star count to a 4 (a big thing for me)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831322497489282381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-21031261062187698672010-08-17T10:37:15.064-04:002010-08-17T10:37:15.064-04:00I'd heard about this one and had my eye on it....I'd heard about this one and had my eye on it...but I've heard mixed reviews.

It pretty much ruins a book for me most of the time, except for <i>Frankenstein</i>, oddly. There I really like the book but HATE the main character (as you all know from last week's Top Ten Tuesday).Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-51418658263852201812010-08-17T05:43:19.848-04:002010-08-17T05:43:19.848-04:00I have this on my to-read list, didn't know it...I have this on my to-read list, didn't know it was part of a series either! Like Jamie said, it makes a huge difference if you know or not while reading it. <br />I'm now even more convinced I need to read this book (I liked the first two sisterhood books), great review!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468649356197119023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-5297142603145889192010-08-16T23:04:56.498-04:002010-08-16T23:04:56.498-04:00I definitely think knowing whether a book is part ...I definitely think knowing whether a book is part of a series (planned or otherwise already out) has a big impact on how I view the book while reading and finishing it!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-50590325093451984792010-08-16T22:21:48.400-04:002010-08-16T22:21:48.400-04:00This sounds like a really good book.

I've seen this book everywhere and thought, Ann Brashares, I think read some books by her in high school. Duh! Of course I did, I read the first two books in the traveling pants series but couldn't get into the third and just stopped. This one sounds kind of interesting though, thanks for the review.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878749520906342274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-79072588276491881132010-08-16T17:55:12.270-04:002010-08-16T17:55:12.270-04:00Despite being kind of sad about this book, I would...Despite being kind of sad about this book, I would recommend reading it. It was actually an interesting story. I will most likely pick up the sequel. Maybe not as soon as it comes out, but I'll read it eventually.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831322497489282381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-52460807970629835022010-08-16T12:02:17.577-04:002010-08-16T12:02:17.577-04:00This sounds really interesting!

I hate being disappointed in that way!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.com
