Dieses Buch war im vergleich zum zweiten wirklich schwach. Der Plot der Story ist nicht wirklich interessant und im Vergleich zu den Motivationen von Oma der Große im ersten Buch, die noch teilweise nachvollziehbar waren, sind diese in diesem Buch nicht mehr verständlich.

The characters are as wonderfully daffy as ever, though the focus on the "family failing," a tendency to fall in love, makes this the weakest of the three "Exiles" books. McKay has a "thing" about love-at-first-sight as kids--it's a plot point in two of her series--that I find grating, but this is a safely minor point. McKay's stories are a joy to read.

I probably would've enjoyed the book more had I known it was part of a series before I started. I'm pretty sure you need to read it in order but I do recommend just please read it in order.

I like the parts at the start of the chapters where Naomi and Ruth talking in the church about the family failing and at the end it turns out to be Rachel and Philippe's wedding.

The four Conroy sisters are in love. Well, three of them at least. They are sent to France with Big Grandma to cure them of their "failing". Hilarity ensues. Read it because it's cute, but especially for the part where the girls go shopping in a French village. That's priceless.

Least favorite Exiles book. And not just because the Casson's still have my heart. I *hated* the interloping-by-grown-up-girls at the start of each chapter - ultimately the reason for it was revealed and yes, it was sweet, but crazy-distracting and I think it led to the disjointed feel of the book, which too-often felt like vignettes instead of an entire narrative. Phillipe and France were charming though - wish there were more of them. And even mid-range McKay is pretty good, so please publishers listen to my earlier plea and give these another go w/not-crappy covers.

Very enjoyable, if not (due to the subject matter) as good as the former one.

I didn’t love this one as much as I loved the first two books, sadly. It was still fun, though. It just didn’t induce painful laughter. [Nov. 2010]
