Summary: What a disappointing ending to a great series!
Review: I was really excited to read this book, but what a letdown. The book builds up a big confrontation and then completely fizzles out. Janie's conflict with her brother Stephen is resolved far too quickly, and her brother Stephen's girlfriend is obnoxious to a tee. Why he would ever go out with her is beyond me!I hope this isn't *really* the final book in the series because fans are still left hanging.

Summary: What Janie Found
Review: "What Janie Found" was one of the 3 sequels to the book "The Face on the Milk Carton". It is once again about Janie. Some other characters are Reeve, Janie's ex-boyfriend, Mrs. Johnson, Janie's "mother", Stephen, Janie's older brother, and Brian, Janie's other, younger, brother. This time, Janie's father as had a heart attack / stroke and is in the hospital while Janie handles the buisness afairs. Janie finds something that she wants to get to the bottom of, something having to do with H.J. A foulder (dun, dun, dun!). Now Janie goes to Blouder, NC to do some work while "visiting" her brother, Stephen. She goes with Reeve and Brian. They meet Stephen there (because that's where he goes to college) and he's with his annoying girl friend, Katherine, who always wants to know more about Janie and what happened with the kidnapping. I think the book "What Janie Found" was a very good book becuase once again, Caroline B. Cooney brings the character of Janie alive for ME. She makes Janie fun to read about, too. I think that anyone who likes the idea of suspence and reading should read this book because it is very suspenceful and the end of the chapters makes you want to read more and more. :) reading "What Janie Found" was fun for me...I liked the book very much and I think you should read it, too!

Summary: A Disappoinment
Review: I read the book and personally thought that it was the worst of the four books in the series. I liked the first two a lot and "The Voice on The Radio" really kept me pulled in. However, when I read "What Janie Found" it didn't pull me in like the other books. The book didn't come to a climax and the whole point of the book never came out. If I were Janie in her situation I would have wanted to see Hannah. I was really disappointed in this book. Caroline Cooney is an excellent writer and I know that she will produce more exciting novels.

Review: I really didn't like this book at all. After reading everything elsethat happened to Janie in the previous books, this was nothing. Theretruly wasn't a purpose for writing it. It really doesn't give you any more information about her saga than the past three books did. However, the book was easy to read and now that I finally know what happened to Janie I'll sleep easier, just kiddin'.

Summary: If you read Face on the Milk Carton, you have to read this!
Review: I love this book! This book reveals something you would have never expected. It keeps you on the edge the entire time. It took me only two nights to finish the book. I hope that Caroline Cooney comes out with a couple more sequels to these books.

Summary: Well...
Review: I quite enjoyed the book, but it certainly wasn't as good as the first one of the Janie series. It's pretty sweet when she makes up with her boyfriend and finds out the truth. But the ending just isn't powerful enough. It's like one of those books where it holds you in suspense for the first twenty-nine chapters then on chapter thirty the end line is something like, "And I woke up and it was all a dream". *sigh* If you really have nothing to read, then go ahead and buy this book.

Summary: What Janie Found
Review: Just like a lot of other people i was happy to hear that there was another janie coming out, but unfortunately i found that janie did not find out that much, and therefore there was no reason to write this book. Im not saying its a bad book, it just didnt have a reason to be written. I would have been more satisfied if they had did something about hannah instead of leaving her anonymous. If i was janie i know my curiousity of finding out who hannah was would have gotten the best of me - especially if i was in the same town. I suggest that you do read this book if you want to know more about what happened to janie - even though it doesnt tell you much more - and if you have the time. It took me only a few hours to read and i think it was sort of a waste of time. I think mrs cooney is a much better writer than this book shows she is and she could have done a much better job on it. Thats all i have to say Read the book and judge it for yourself

Summary: my review
Review: okay, i thought this book was okay. it wasn't as good at the first 3, but what can i say? caroline b. cooney writes only good books. so it first starts out with janie finding the checkbook and finding out that her dad support's hannah... blah, blah, blah. she goes to colorado to find hannah and ask her questions... then she decides to not ask her anything cuz of what reeve says, which is "janie, stop it. you find hannah, and you're betraying your father and mother as badly as i betrayed you"... yeah, so she decides he's right. and by the way, janie decides to speak to reeve again. but at the end, janie decides to forgive reeve and they kiss and i'm assuming they become a couple again because she starts to love him again. so there.. oh yeah, about the kidnapping thingy, read the book. so, all i can hope for is one last conclusion... okay, hope this was helpful, bye!

Summary: Some plot, lots of emotion: Another Janie.
Review: The fourth book (thus far) in the Janie series brings to mind yet again the theory that life is 10% what happens, and 90% what you do about it. Be prepared for most of the book to be what the characters are thinking about the various situations, without too terribly much actually going on. Keeping up the tension of the first three books, Cooney did a fair job of tying in events of the first three books without entirely rehashing them. These are like soap operas: don't step into the middle of it unless you already know what's going on. While I think various points of the plot might have been better, it was good to find out what happens between Janie and Reeve, and learn more about some of her Spring family. However, I personally suggest getting the paperback version (when it comes out) or getting it from your local library, as the book is fairly small and easy to read in one afternoon.

Summary: A Great Conclusion
Review: I like how Janie isn't obsesed with destroying Hannah. She just wants the whole problem to be over. The way she ended the money problem brought an end to the pain of her kidnapping.
