Review: Mixed Feelings
Rating: 3 out of 5

I know I'm going against the grain for other reviews but I had mixed feelings for these 4 books.  In a way, they had parts that reminded me of E.E. Doc Smith - the genius couples learning to be superhuman - and other parts where I slammed the book shut in frustration of how stupid could a character be.  After letting my frustration relax a bit, I opened it back up to continue the story.  I also found myself frustrated at the seeming resolution to a situation, only to be subjected to a Saturday matinee serial cliffhanger.  Not once, but over and over again. The final book of the 4 was my least favorite because I couldn't figure out a place in time that would fit with the 3 books that had gone before and I found myself speed reading to get over the repitition of one-upmanship and get to the end.  There I get a Newhart ending.  On the plus side, I found myself liking most of the characters and the overall plot line enough to keep me reading and just interested enough that I may continue to follow this series.
