review 1: I've read all books in the series. Fan of main character Lois. I enjoyed the "everything works out in the end" storyline even if a bit unrealistic. I want to escape from reality a bit and these books do that. I think you would need to read past ones in order to appreciate this one. As a stand alone this was a bit too simple . I think it really needed more depth to characters and story. What kept me reading is that I cared about the characters and wanted to know what they would end up doing. I would only recommend if you've read previous four books.
review 2: Having read all five books in this series, I've come to really like the town of Green and it's many citizens. And I mean MANY citizens; these people float in and out of each book, and sometimes it's hard to... more keep them straight. The only big disappointments I have are that their all-too-real problems are presented in a too simplistic way and are too easily and quickly solved. I know these books are supposed to be uplifting, but life just doesn't happen this way. My other issue is that while most of the protagonist characters are very likeable, there are too many of them and the result is that they are all one-dimensional. We never really get to know any of them because there's nothing to know under the surface. (I'm not even going to discuss the cardboard antagonists who show up in every book.) As a result, I've come away from every book in this series feeling disappointed that I haven't gotten to know more about these folks. And that's a little sad because we could have been friends. less
