4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as great as the first two- but a nice conclusion to the trilogy *may contain spoilers*, July 26, 2006
This review is from: from here to maternity (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book. Not as much as the first two but enjoyed it nonetheless.
The only thing i didn't like was the ending. Whilst what happened with the baby- i won't give it away- i felt was appropriate as it fit the whole idea of the road to parenthood being hard, i disliked the final page as i felt it didn't give enough material for what happened next. I would have liked to learn more about how Emma found life with two children or some nice, happy diologue. I felt quite sad when the book ended.
I must say i did enjoy the triology and would recommend it, i'm just sad that's it!

Third time was not charm, July 14, 2006
This review is from: from here to maternity (Hardcover)
"From Here to Maternity" is the third book written by author Sinead Moriarty, and I sad to say that it was the not as good as her first two books. At this point Emma and James Hamilton have adopted Yuri from Russia and now expecting there own child. Emma, who came off as a good character in the first two books is not that interesting, and most of the books seem to deal with the actions of her crazy sister Babs. After reading "From Here to Maternity" I can say that I should have waited for the paperback instead of the hardback.

Babies are like busses.
Emma and James have waited ages for one to turn up, then two come together. Not twins - but an adorable Russian tot called Yuri, and an as-yet-unnamed bump already wreaking it's special brand of havoc.
Emma and James are overwhelmed by the crying, the crankiness, the fitful sleeping, the fussy feeding - and that's just the new mother . . .
On top of that they are juggling the Queen of Interfering Mothers, the brother marrying An Unsuitable Bride, the combustible best friend with a broody husband, and the outrageous sister who'll do anything for fame and fortune.
Emma and James are ecstatic at being parents at last but sometimes wish that it was all a bit less . . . frantic!
