Summary: If you dream of being an editor, see if you can stomach it:
Review: ...practice on this book.First, let me be honest with you. I have not read the entire book. Several years ago I purchased this book because it looked like it may be interesting. I was in a hurry and needed something to read, so I didn't read a few samples throughout as I often do. Big mistake on my part. I made it through 30 pages before I could not stand it any more. I only got that far because I kept hoping it was some poorly chosen style that would switch in a chapter or two. When I finally gave up and skipped through here and there, I found how wrong I was. This book is bad throughout. I recently ran across it while going through some of my old books, and decided to give it another whirl, just in case. I didn't make it through two pages; that's all it took to remind me of just how bad this book is. Cardboard characters, over explanation, awkward juvenile sentences, clichés in abundance... this book has it all. I could not tell you if there is a plot as I never made it far enough to say; if there is, I don't have any interest in knowing what it is. I wish there were an option to rate this zero stars. Since there isn't, I guess I have to be generous and give it one, let's say for the title and the cover art.

Summary: "1 Star," Because Zero Wasn't an Option.
Review: ...Truly, it was a ghastly read, ... The characters are such hollow cliches that you will laugh at their illogical (and pointless) predicaments, and cry when you realize that you still have more pages to wade through. You will find yourself unable to choose between reading more of the horrid, soap opera dialogue and being punched in the stomach repeatedly by a random thug. The "humor" isn't remotely humorous. The "tension" isn't remotely tense. ...

Summary: So bad on so many levels
Review: I love the Dark Chronicles!
I thought it was rather unique compared to the other science fiction series I have read. I purchased The Light Years Part 3 quite some time ago and ever since I have been checking book stores to see if another one has been put out.
I recently saw Lord of the Rings and in my opinion The Dark Chronicles books would make far better movies!

Summary: Wow. I mean........WOW.
Review: OK, so I lied. I didn't read this book. Well, I at least didn't read past the first 20 pages; but trust me, I tried. This book is shockingly horrid. The most shocking aspect of this book is that it got published. Some poor editor must have lost his job over this, and thankfully so. I wish I could give it negative stars to further reduce the average rating.

Summary: one for the fact she talked someone into publishing it.
Review: this is the worst book i have EVER tried to read. bar none, totaly the worst. i would rather roll over tiny bits of broken glass, then jump into a vat of lemon juice than ever have to even look at the cover of this book ever again. i can only guess the ONE 'fan' must have read a different book.
random S&M bits, bad soap opera dialog, senseless plot changes (when you could find the plot), zero demensioned characters, over simplistic explainations....GRRRR.... i am so stunned at how bad this was, i can't even spell right!! neither could the author, nor can she write anything beyond an 8th grade level, as far as i could tell. this book begs the question, was it blackmail or what, that got this drivel published?
i have half a mind to email the writer so i can demand back the half an hour of my life i gave to this 'book'! i can't even bring myself to take this back to the used shop i bought this in, i just threw it away. i didn't want anyone to see that i had actually spent money on it...
did i mention this book was horrid? yes, i thought so.....
