2.0 out of 5 stars bad ending to a phenomenal series, February 27, 1998

This review is from: Awakening; The Holts, an American Dynasty #10 (Mass Market Paperback)

I read the entire series from wagons west to the Holts. To have a book like this end the series the way it did was disheartening at best. Characters which grew up on the pages of countless books were killed off nonchalantly (Toby, Rob, etc.) or completely forgotten (Henry, Cindy, Midge). 34 great books and one very average book. I wish I had stopped one book short of the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it!, June 17, 2000

This review is from: Awakening; The Holts, an American Dynasty #10 (Mass Market Paperback)

I, too, read the entire series but almost didn't read Awakening because of the negative reviews. Fortunately, I'm somewhat obsessive-compulsive and couldn't NOT read the closing novel. I enjoyed it as I did the others, and realize that not every character that had been presented in the past could be addressed in this book. It was mainly about Sally and India and Frank, and that was fine with me. Maybe we need additional closure in the form of another series, eh, Miss Ross?

3.0 out of 5 stars Awakened but Disappointed!!, January 27, 2003

This review is from: Awakening; The Holts, an American Dynasty #10 (Mass Market Paperback)

I too have read every book in all the series by Dana Fuller Ross. Cannot understand why in most cases each of the previous books only one or two years were covered and now all of a sudden there are decades covered in the one book (1901-1941). I thought that there would be at least an Awakenings 2-3-4 etc. which would lead right up to the present day.
I guess the reason that the quality of the writing may have changed in the books because according to information I got at the local library someone else was writing under the name of Dana Fuller Ross as the original man who used the name Dana Fuller Ross passed away in 1976.
