Great Story,
By
This review is from: Take Four (Paperback)
A great ending to the series. Karen Kingsbury's books are great books to read. I did not want to put the book down until I had finished the story. I am looking forward to her next series of stories.

love Kingsbury but so disappointed,
By leslieE - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take Four (Paperback)
I feel like this book has gone from a great book series to a soap opera. It should have ended in three books. At the very least, it should have ended with the 4th book. I am not sure sure that I will read another "series" book of hers. Maybe it is best to stick to the stand alones.

Coasting Through this One,
By Anne Garrett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take Four (Paperback)
First, let me say that I've enjoyed a number of other Kingsbury novels. Take One and Take Two were so good that they motivated me to read all the Baxter books immediately. (Reading sixteen of her novels in quick succession turned out to be overdoing it the least bit, but that was my fault not hers.) Take Three disappointed me, but I still held out high hopes for the final book in the series--hopes that the reading completely dashed.Replacing Chase with Dayne Matthews in the film company meant too much Baxter focus for my taste. Fourteen earlier books in three series tell us their story; let's concentrate on different characters now. For a moment it looked as though we might be surprised by Andi's decision, but she ultimately took the easier, predictable road. A couple of other reviews mention that the characters celebrate Veterans' Day in October. That's not just one small mistake; it's mentioned repeatedly over several chapters. Nor would it be easy to fix in subsequent printings as it would alter the entire timeline. A couple of other smaller errors made me wonder how many people had to read the book before it was printed. (Please don't expect to smell wild lilacs and honesuckle in Indiana at the end of October, for example. Unless the Baxters and Flanigans are so blessed that God has turned Bloomington into the new Eden since I was there last.) All in all, it appeared to me that Kingsbury tired of this story and coasted through the writing while simultaneously wanting to milk these characters through yet another series. I felt like I was reading a long commercial for the Baxter books and especially for the upcoming Unlocked and Bailey Flanigan series. Obviously I'm in the minority here, and die-hard fans seem to love the book. Karen Kingsbury is capable of much more (Shades of Blue, for one), but I won't take her writing for granted hereafter. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Disappointing,
By Katie Powell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take Four (Paperback)
I totally agree with Happy Lady. I could not have said it better myself. I don't even want to read the Bailey series because I don't think I can stand anymore of her and Cody's stupidity. Anyway, I thought Bailey felt God leading her not to go to New York in this book. So, why is she going in the next series? I love most of KK's books, including the 3 Baxter series, but this Bailey-Cody series is like the never-ending story.
