Book Reviews of Paradise Valley (Virgin River, Book 7)
Book Review: A good read
Summary: 4 Stars
This was actually a pretty good read. Of course we are reunited with the lovely characters from Virgin River and there's always something going on in this small group. I really got into Rick and Liz's story. It was heartwarming and touching to see the two young lovers work it out through the obstacles placed before them. Now I know the second story was suppose to be about Dan and Cheryl but I felt that story was lacking. I believe that if the author would have cut some of Abby and Cameron's story out, she could have helped us get to know them better. There was entirely too much time devoted to Cam and Abby. Overall the story was good and I look forward to reading about who else pops up in Virgin River.Book Review: Can it have 6 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the latest gem from one of the best authors of contempory fiction in today's market. I received this book at 11:00 am today and finished it at 5:30 pm, and that is only the first time I will read it! As always, it is wonderful to catch up on old friends. This time though, we learn the story of a character that has appeared since the first Virgin River book, and not only learn his story but welcome him into the Virgin River community. I've been reading every book in this series hoping that Ms. Carr would not let him drift out of the series. Well, she didn't and did a "bang-up" job of doing it!! Have you figured out what character I'm referring to?Book Review: A fitting end
Summary: 3 Stars
**Spoilers**
I didn't like book 5 at all. I didn't read book 6. I was hesitant about reading book 7, but I liked the character of Rick and I wanted to find out about the "mystery pot grower" from other books. This book was a fast read and didn't make me exasperated like book 5 did. I was, however, disappointed with the character of Dan (we all thought he was undercover DEA - so I was bummed to find out he was just a grower). I also thought that Rick handled tragedy so well previously it seemed out of character for him to behave how he did.
Overall, this was an easy enjoyable read, but not as good as the first 3.
Book Review: Too much going on
Summary: 1 Stars
Gosh this one had too many plots, and there wasn't enough time dedicated to any of them. Robyn Carr always has a lot of storylines running at the same time in her books, but there's usually one that is the main focus. Here, there wasn't, and I found I didn't care about any of the characters. I never liked Rick and Liz much, but the back of the book said this was their story. It really wasn't. They were hardly in it.
Robyn Carr needs a better editor; someone who will force her to plot her stories better and make her find the heart of her book. There are too many tangents, and this book is a really annoying read.
Book Review: good book, but 5 Stars
I am an avid Robyn Carr fan, but thought she tried to cover too many story lines in this book. Personally, I was finished with Walt and Muriel after Temptation Ridge - they are okay characters, but not interesting enough for the amount of time she gave them. They could have popped up in the background like so many others whose main stories have already been told.For me, I would have liked to have had the Rick/Liz and Cameron/Abby continuations covered here and for Dan Brady to have his own book. He is an interesting character, having had so much to overcome in his past; likewise, the new and improved Cheryl.
