Book Reviews of Undead and Unworthy (Queen Betsy, Book 7)Book Review: HATE THE NEW COVER ART! Summary: 3 Stars
I love Queen Betsy, but I haven't even purchased this in hardcover because the cover is so dreadful. It looks like Babysitters Club gone Goth. What were they thinking. I have bought all the hardcovers up to now. Also, it doesn't match the rest of the series. That may be weird, but I'm a librarian and I want my sets to match! Pleeeaaase go back to the old art!
Book Review: A good effort but still not up to her usual standard Summary: 3 Stars
The queen Betsy series is usually light fluffy and funny, but MJD has apparently decided to take the series in a completely different direction. (She says so in the author's note) It's a LOT darker than the previous books, and while I like that there was more plot than in the last 2 or 3 books, it's just too serious. It's a far cry from Undead and Unwed :(
Book Review: I liked it but that's all... Summary: 3 Stars
I think maybe it is time for the series to end. I miss the beginning when Sinclair was all possessive and so in love with her. Now she is married and they act like most married couples - boring
Book Review: review Summary: 3 Stars
book was good. not as great at some of her toher ones, but i loved it.
Book Review: Not worth the $$$ Summary: 2 Stars
I would have been disappointed in the lack of over the top MJD humor we're used to seeing, if I hadn't read where she wrote that this book will be the turning point in the series where it starts to take on a more serious note. Fine, I can deal with that... sometimes the stupid jokes got old in the previous stories anyway. But here is where I am really getting sick of the Undead series. This books is SO FREAKING SHORT!! Less than 300 pages, and for $23?!?!?! Are you kidding me MJD? How can you let your publisher, or whoever makes these decisions, do something so incredibly stupid if you want to keep your readers happy. Well, then again she probably doesn't care - because that's just more money in her pocket.
But this one really was the stopping point for me - I'm tired of the crappy storyline, and the horrible way she's just shoving all these random "plotlines" in the story... plotlines that never go anywhere (like the ghost of "the Ant")... the way Sinclair's dark, dangerous character has become such a sissy... the fact that Betsy is supposed to be a mother now and the baby isn't even IN the story, which I thought was supposed to be a major point now... the way a chapter can only be ONE PAGE LONG when you take in to account the large margins and print... ok you get my point. I won't buy another MJD book, I'll just wait for them to show up at the local library or read them at the bookstore since it only took a couple of hours anyway.
