review 1: I think.....that Davidson rambles too much in her stories now. Totally lost interest in all 3 stories at multiple times listening. It's like...it's ok, then something really stupid and non related happens and it throws it off completely. It Girl was interesting, but the whole climax totally sucked and honestly, all 3 stories could have had at least half of it cut due to rambling. The Fred and Betsy story wasn't even worth it and the Lara story was ok. I admit, the timeline threw me, I didn't even realize how far into the future it was supposed to be until the middle of the story. Maybe it's me....but I'm just not digging these books. =(
review 2: Meh.The first story I did not get at all. It was really hyper and random and had no sense of actual plot (pesky thi... morengs like beginning, middle and end.) It also had nothing to do with the Undead and... series. Total fail.Second story was ok. Still a bit hyper and disjointed but had enough information that even though I've never read the Fred the Mermaid books, I had a passable time getting through the story. Besty comes off slighly more coherent here (at times) but it's annoying how characters from the Mermaid world are simply clones of the Undead world. (Like Fred's friend is a Marc clone except, no he's not gay, just uber metrosexual. Whatever.)Third story was not as bad as the first, but not as good as the second. (Not that the second was really terribly good to start.) It takes place in the future and makes awkward attempts at poking humor at "outdated" things (as in, things from the 2000's) Always comes off hokey. Also, I just didn't feel like I knew or terribly cared about the characters since they don't actually exist in the "present" of the Unead books in that form. (i.e. the main character, Laura, is a toddler I think currently.)All in all, just a week trilogy of stories. Absolutely no need to buy this one. In fact, there's little reason to even read it since none of it directly relates to the Undead series at all. less
