Summary: Oh, No!...
Review: "This Calder Sky" was the book that got me reading again years ago. I ordered it through a book club and read it while I was in the hospital. I have read the complete series and while this one started out alright, I really didn't get the feeling that any of this people loved and laughed. It was always that way with the other Calder series. They were people that stood out on the pages and long after the story ended, I thought about them. They connected with each other. I have read the Calder stories over and over. I will continue reading the older versions but this one just doesn't do it for me the way the others did. Perhaps if the sequels to this book stand alone and don't focus on this book as the mainstay, I MAY read others in this series.
What can I say? ...

Summary: ****This was a heartfelt experience****
Review: 7/29/02I must say, "The Calder series" is one of my favorite family sagas. The characters are so strong I can feel their emotions when I read Ms. Dailey's books. This, in my opinion takes a truly good writer to inspire emotions so heartfelt that a reader can actually feel them. I would say, Ms. Dailey is one of the best writers I have come across in romance.
My favorite character is Chase, "Ty and Cat's father"..."Chase" has stood the test of time throughout the years in both love and heartbreak...I hope Chase Calder will be around for a long time to come in Ms. Dailey's up-coming Calder series, he gives her stories a rich texture that clings to old west code. If and when Chase is gone he would sorely missed.
I have just finish reading "Green Calder Grass", it was wonderful. Although, I will miss Ty Calder and I think this was a sad turn of the story, but that's what I love about Ms. Dailey's writing, real life does not always have happy ends!!!
I'm looking forward to the next Calder series. Janet Dailey keep up the fantastic work. Best wishes,

Summary: I Expected More From the Book!
Review: By reading the synopsis, I thought that this book would be far more dramatic than it was. It was okay enough to get through, but it seemed to bore me in a lot of places. Ty and his wife Jessy are happily expecting twins. But Tara, Ty's ex-wife is very angry about their divorce, and wants to ruin everything for his new family. So she takes over their lives, and the more she gets involved, the more troublesome things become. Unexpected accidents occur, and Jessy feels that Tara is behind it all. The story jumps from one point to the other, and was underdeveloped I felt. I lost where Tara went in between all these troubles.

Summary: another Calder classic
Review: I am a great fan of the Calder series and could not wait for this book. It did not disappoint me. True to Janet Dailey's reputation, the story was well researched and accurate. A great read for readers of the Calder series, a good read for new readers-references to past characters/books may leave the new reader with unanswered questions. The story was well crafted and suspenseful. I was truly shocked and saddened to loose a main character. But it leaves the door wide open for a sequel. Janet--when will it be released?

Summary: not her best....
Review: I can not tell you how excited I was to get this book and continue with the Calder Saga, but after reading it, I must say I was dissapointed. I wasn't upset about the ending or anything; things don't always end happily ever after, but I just felt like the book itself was weak. I felt that there was no chemistry between the characters. I hate Tara and never want to see her again, and where was the romance?! Yes, the book is good and worth the read, but knowing that there's is going to be only one more book after this one to finish the saga makes me sad that this book had to take the spot of something else that could have been better. All in all, in comparison with the rest of the Calder books, this was a dissapointment.

Summary: Green Calder Grass
Review: I have read all Calder books by Janet Dailey, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Dailey's style of writing is exceptionally good, she brings the characters alive, and makes one feel it is infact a reality, not just fiction! I love the way all the Calder men struggle to protect the ranch, their legacy, the way Dailey has described the bitter sweet relationship between Benteen and his son Webb (This Calder Range), the strong bond between Webb and Chase (in Stands a Calder Man), and later on between Chase and Cat, and specially between Cat and Quint (in Calder Pride). Maggie is my fabourite character, followed by Chase. Green Calder Grass, I think has a great plot, is very well written, though lacking in the romance department. I sure hope there are more Calder books to follow. Moreover, I wish someone would make a mini-series of these novels. Congratulations to Ms. Dailey for writing such a beautiful, romantic and unforgettable story. I think it is one of the best ever!

Summary: disappointed
Review: I have read all the "Calder" series books and was deeply disappointed with Janet Dailey's latest. The tragedy in the book ruined it for me. I felt that the plot was weak, especially with Tara, and that it was disjointed.

Summary: Excellent addition to the Calder series
Review: I just finished reading this and it was up to par with the other Calder series installments. I really enjoyed it as I have enjoyed the others. There was a little twist at the end that surprised me though. All in all it was a great book. I would recommend it.

Summary: Green Calder Grass
Review: I thought this was an excellent book. It was the first I had read in the Calder series and just happened to pick it up by chance. I had a hard time putting it down and tending to daily things! I am anxious to read the next in this series...Shifting Calder Wind. Easy to recommend to other readers...BTW, my aunt took my copy and finished it in a day!

Summary: Disapointed
Review: I was really enjoying Green Calder Grass until the death of Ty.
I have read and loved all the Calder books, that is why I was so disapointed in the killing of the main character.
The surprise ending was not worth killing off Jessy's husband, Chase's son and the twins father.
This is a fictional story, I wish Janet Dailey would have made it end better.
