Summary: what happened?
Review: I couldn't believe it!!! I was so looking forward to this book and when I read it I wanted to throw it across the room. It's like the author suddenly got bored with writing it, so she just stopped. NO RESOLUTION!!! She left all of the story lines dangaling in mid air and left everyone without closure. If you are planning on buying this book, I say don't. Leave it at book eleven (which was great) and save yourself the frustration.

Summary: Heartbraking
Review: I don't read books very often. I sort of pick them up and read, and if it dosen't hook my I put it down, fearing it would be a waste of my time. Very few books have actually caught my interest. Well 4, actually, The Hobbit, FOTR, TTT, and ROTK. And then, out of pure luck, I pick up a book off a shelf in a book store in the teen series section, and much to my suprise a book hooks me. A tale of 5 kids, my age, getting themselves into some kind of alternate world. You had feminist, the hero, the brains, and the joker, and the enigma. Senna. An absolutely wonderful tale of mystery, action and adventure. And as time grew on you connected with these characters, you started to understand who they were, because you were hearing what they thought about themselves and at the same time others thought about them. You become so connected with this story, and you hope its the kind of series where there will be a new one out every two months for you to go and enjoy for a long time. And then, book 12, you see the name. "Entertain the End". The End? What!!!!. Ok, so it's got to be pretty good you say to your self. And then you get to the last pages of the book. Only a few pages left, maybe three. And we were still in Hel's cavern. But how, there was a war that had to happen? David and Christopher had to make a glorious death in battle, or live out to be kings. Jalil had to make all of everworld electronic. April had to stand up and show people what women could really do. And then, these books that you have poored over for hours, connecting with, simply end. One of the very few book I ever enjoyed just ended, rolled over and died. The author whose books I followed so heartedly just got pushed aside so she could write some space age thing. I don't know what to say, It ended, but I don't think it should have. It would have been like Tolkien taking Frodo to Mt. Doom and right before he got there ended the story for no reason. This author hasn't done a very good job ending the series, and I pray that perhpas one day she might come back. In the mean time lets rally the everworld troops and flood scholastics email or something. Call me crazy, but I loved this series deepley, and I don't appreciate it ending like it did.

Summary: is it really the end?
Review: I had to come here you find out what everyone else was saying to find out whether this book was really the end of the series. I am so disappointed that there will be no more of these books! The author left everything very open in the end, and it doesn't seem like anything was concluded. I think Applegate got tired of writing and just decided to stop with this series. I keep hoping that this is all a joke and pretty soon there will be another Everworld on the shelves, but it doesn't seem like its happening. How rude!

Summary: Great Author, Great Finale
Review: I have always thought of Ms. Applegate as a creative author, so count on her to come up with a creative ending. I won't tell what happened, so I won't ruin the ending, but it was open ended. I liked the open ending, though, because it left me to imagine how the union of the gods against Ka Anor really went. Yet another product of K.A. Applegate's brilliant mind.

Summary: not bad
Review: I loved the series! i tottaly agree that these books were packed with everything you could want in a book. After reading the first book i was completely hooked and i now own all tweleve. I do agree that this book does leave you hanging and waiting for more, and i was a little disappointed that it was being narrarated by April. But overall the book was okay and i liked the end, except that it is really open. Oh and for whoever gave the ending away in their review - way to go! so sorry if you read that one before you had a chance to read the book!

Summary: Open ended
Review: I loved the whole series, especially book 11. I was waiting for a tremendous climax to the series and felt let down. The book just finished without finishing and left us all wondering. K.A. Applegate built us up for a grand finale and a battle against Ka Anor. She let us down with a quick fix but no answers. There were so many questions that one has to feel she lost interest or just wasn't selling enough of the series. I'm left dissappointed and waiting for Everworld 13, Conclude the Confusion.

Summary: Loverly
Review: I LOVED THEM!!! These books are for people who like Fantasy, Comedy, Drama, Romance... Everything! After reading these books I started reading the "Remnants" books and am so far even more pleased with her work. Don't let the animorphs books fool you she is actually a very good author. Have fun.

Summary: Really quite good
Review: I thought the ending was actually quite a nice touch. That is actually very eloquent if you ask me (though no one did). But there is something i don't understand...Senna was like, pretty much the focal point of the whole series...and after all her display of power and everything, she dies from a knife wound? Isn't that kind of an anti-climax? I would have thought that counted as a sort of loose end to be tied up in Entertain The End...maybe like, she's not really dead and everything...

Summary: OH MY GOD!
Review: I was very disappointed with the ending of the book, and the series. It was built up to be such a big finale, and then it just ended. I think the series should continue. Everworld was great, dont get me wrong about that, just the ending should have been more detailed. But like I said the series should not end at all. Im the quiet, loser, geeky, loner type, and im really into mythology(BLAH I CANT SPELL!!) and for me, everworld was a way for me to come home after a long day of harsh reality and lost in a world of fantasy, magic, princesses, king, dwarves, elves and some much more. KA APPLEGATE DONT END END SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL THAT MAKES SO MANY PEOPLE HAPPY!!

Summary: It shouldn't be the end!
Review: If you ask me there needs to be another one of these books! This unsasatisfyitory ending to the series involves a meeting with an old "friend". They evean find someone who they didn't think would help them in any way because he once tried to kill them. April and the others are trying to set things right in EverWorld to make up for the destruction Senna and her army caused. But there are other problems coming along. Something bad is happing so that they need to make the biggest choice. Will they stay in EVerWorld or go back to their own world? Read to find out! This series defiently needs a 13th book. It kind of leaves you hanging to what they do next. So in conclusion, K.A.Applegate still needs to write the real ending to this series!
