Book Reviews of Found (Firstborn Series-Baxter 2, Book 3)
Book Review: Found( Firstborn)
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good book.I recommend you read the entire series. It is one that is hard to put down.Book Review: Great Series
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this series (starting with the Redemption Series). However, I think this (Firstborn) series has been dragged out a little too long. Unlike the Redemption Series that introduced a new sibling with each book, this series is a continuation of the same story. Now we have to wait until next spring for the conclusion...bummer. I love all her books and how she shows how Christ works in our lives. Book Review: Have to agree with stick in the mud as well
Summary: 2 Stars
This book wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't one of the best. I too found myself wishing that it would just get to the point! The story line is interesting, but it felt like it just drags you out way too long. I often found myself just skimming parts of the book that didn't seem to fit the overall plot. Don't get me wrong, it's a great series and I can't wait for its conclusion. I just felt this book wasn't on point.Book Review: I have to agree with the "Stick in the MUD"
Summary: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed in her latest book. The book is repetitive and never amounts to much of anything. I am tired of waiting to know if Katie Hart and Dayne will get together, I am tired of waiting book after book to see if the Baxter family unite? I understand as an avid reader about build up/ climax but this is silly. I firmly believe as with many authors when you have success with a series that you for profit or quota (contract) throw in books that would never stand alone. I collect all of her books in my library in my home however, I will not purchase anymore books in this series. The last book was easily " a library" find. I could of waited till I found it at the library. Book Review: Guess I'll be the stick in the mud
Summary: 3 Stars
I've read every book in Kingsbury's Redemption/Firstborn series and, sadly, this one seems the weakest yet. All the weaknesses of Kingsbury's style are here -- everything overwritten, as if we can't remember what happened just a chapter before, supposedly dramatic statements that, again, just repeat what we already know, awkward, overly wordy phrasing, etc. Perhaps this is because Kingsbury seems to be on a treadmill of pumping out books like an automaker pumps out vehicles. Is that really the best way to produce memorable novels?
The story is decent enough, about a Hollywood star slowly -- very, very slowly -- coming to grips with the parents who gave him up for adoption and coming to grips with the faith he left behind years ago. But this is yet another weakness, in my opinion. The story is simply being dragged out so long that it strains my sense of credibility.
Don't get me wrong -- I love the God stuff in these books. But holy shmokers, I just wish she'd tighten up her writing style and get on with it. Now, let's see if even one person gives this review a thumbs up
