Awakening

Summary: Disappointed and bereft
Review: First started the wagons west series in the 1980s ... moved to London and started collecting the whole series .... this book was the worst .... could not believe how shallow and meaningless the characters were. Could have given it a lot more life.

Summary: bad ending to a phenomenal series
Review: I read the entire series from wagons west to the Holts. To have a book like this end the series the way it did was disheartening at best. Characters which grew up on the pages of countless books were killed off nonchalantly (Toby, Rob, etc.) or completely forgotten (Henry, Cindy, Midge). 34 great books and one very average book. I wish I had stopped one book short of the end.

Summary: Awakened but Disappointed!!
Review: I too have read every book in all the series by Dana Fuller Ross. Cannot understand why in most cases each of the previous books only one or two years were covered and now all of a sudden there are decades covered in the one book (1901-1941). I thought that there would be at least an Awakenings 2-3-4 etc. which would lead right up to the present day.
I guess the reason that the quality of the writing may have changed in the books because according to information I got at the local library someone else was writing under the name of Dana Fuller Ross as the original man who used the name Dana Fuller Ross passed away in 1976.
