I want and also don't want Larkin's perfect memory eep!

[Ember August · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love this series so much and every time I am in a reading rut I know I can depend on a Middle Falls adventure to get me out of it. Its not so much a rut this time, but I have reading something a bit scary and tense and needed a break.

Far from than feeling like covering my eyes and dreading the next page like I have been with my other book, I can't wait to see what happens next with Shawn Inmon's stories and as a result I get pulled through them so quickly, I just chew through them with ease.

This one was no exception, but I think this is my least favourite Middle Falls story so far.

Its a hard call on how to rate it, I can't fault the story or the writing, but our protagonist Larkin was just so frustrating at times. Although she had a photographic memory, that didn't translate to her being able to readily see the bigger picture, or understanding herself or the world. Which is completely realistic - good memory doesn't automatically make you intelligent or self-aware. But I felt a bit ragebaited by her decisions so I didn't find the story as satisfying to read.

This series also made me ponder on how common it is for someone to live a completely relationship-free existence, no intimacy at all - this is a common thread throughout the series. I googled it and the percentage is much higher than I expected. Anywho that's a tangent for me to do some existential dwelling on for a while.

In the meantime - FFS Larkin, just do some share investments and take your mum with you to Portland jeez.

Disappointed. I was so excited by the premise of Larkin’s photographic recall. My son with autism has very similar abilities, and the functional uses within our family are amazing. I was very curious to see how that memory could be utilized in the daily life of someone in the world with more connections, social interactions, and experiences than my son. But it was rarely used beyond her first life and Larkin often treated it as a negative. As usual, though, Inmon does a really nice job of keeping plots fresh and interesting. Unfortunately I was hoping for something especially unusual with Larkin‘s memory.

Another great story in this series

With so many books in this series all sharing the same theme, Shawn still finds a way to make each story unique and interesting. I can’t wait for the next book.

One issue. There’s a place where character names get mixed up. This sort of thing usually gets caught by Shawn’s beta readers.

Nothing makes a day better than reading a Middle Falls novel in one sitting. Larkin’s storyline managed a completely original take on memory in a 24 book series, and the ancillary characters all popped off the page so well. There was a callback to Tommy Weaver’s novel here, in communicating the realities of being reborn in a particular way that can go south, and it came off brilliantly. How’s that for vague?

Excellent stuff!

By book number 25, Inmon is still finding new ways to recycle both people and stories, and he does a great job at it. In this latest installment, Inmon decided to give his protagonist a super-power (figuratively speaking, of course). Larkin Carr has the unique gift of photographic memory. As I began this novel, I was beyond excited to see all of the different ways in which Inmon would use this superpower. Unfortunately, Inmon focuses very little on Larkin's unique gift. I don't mean to suggest that her photographic memory was mentioned and forgotten about. Larkin's gift was ever-present, and certainly a big part of who she is/was. However, it was like having a Lamborghini in the story, and only using the vehicle to go get some milk, and take an occasional joyride with a nun driving. As inventive a mind as Inmon has, I felt like he really dropped the ball with this one.

Shawn Inmon is truly gifted with an insight few have, really love his writing!

This was a series of books I never anticipated to be committed to reading all of , in succession, I mean all of them, like when you need that next fix of whatever you crave. They can be stand alone books but reading in succession, you get immersed into the Middle Falls world, people, places, emotions, life, love, redemption, salvation, peace, happiness....man I just want to an Artie's burger and shake every time I take the next journey with these wonderful lives ! I love them all and wish they would go forever, but all good things must end while still good to remember. This is the best genre I've ever read, like a movie or Netflix series... you just want to binge on this...iykyk! =)

Such a good series

Another great story from the middle falls series, i liked larkins story, with cameo mentions of previous middle falls character s which personally i think is a must, with 24 books in this series, the reader is quite invested in the series. Looking forward to the next book, as it features one of my favourite characters, Moondog, let's hope mushu, gets a mention too.

Shawn never disappoints

In my early childhood I became an avid eclectic reader and I've followed many "favorite" authors in my seventy-seven years. Now I'm hooked on Shawn Inmon books. Such strong characters and tightly woven stories make each of his books feel like finally finding my favorite book. I'm looking forward to Moon Dog.

[Malibu · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. This book in the series was rather disappointing. Someone (character) with so much potential and the story written for her is abysmal and depressing. Is this supposed to be a smart character? Her choices in both lives are lame. She becomes a small town journalist. Didn't that happen already with the Hattie Kildare book where she's a newspaper photographer of sorts? This life was sad and unfulfilled. Nothing like a character with zero ambition.

Another great addition to middle falls

No matter what else I am reading,the moment Shawn releases a book, I immediately drop the other books. A great addition and lovely to see some of the past characters mentioned too. Lots of love to Shawn on his health journey and thanks for keeping in touch with your fans through Facebook

[Keith Carey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book oozed with warmth. Larkin had a small family where they would do anything for each other, including give up their dreams and ambitions. Larkin's older brother, Gunner, was extremely devoted to his younger sister, as were both of her parents. I would love to see another book focused on him, much like the upcoming Moondawg book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes wholesome and uplifting novels.

Great Story!

I love Shawn Inmon's books, and this one did not disappoint. Larkin was an interesting character with a great story. Shawn knows how to tell compelling, fun to read stories. It's hard to put his books down. I highly recommend this book and all of his books. I can't wait for the next one.

May be my most favorite yet

These books never disappoint. They never get old and they are always over much too quickly! I’m so grateful I took a chance that day, years ago where a catchy title and beguiling cover caught my eye!

[Ken Hulse · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read all of Shawn's books. The idea of living ones life better with enough tries interests me. This was was a little bit wordy but the theme was good and the results great. I would recommend it for a pleasant journey.

[Gerard Driscoll · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

I always anxiously await a new Middle Falls book excited to see what type of journey Shawn will take me and his newest book did not disappoint. I was hooked from the beginning and cried at the end. Thanks Shawn

[David Beniston · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good but fairly typical book in this series. The thing that strikes me as different is that Larkin actually tells two people (in different lives) of her time travel. I think that this has only happened once before in the series.

[Alison Gerrard · Rating 5 out of 5]

fabulous read

I think Larkin might be my favourite character. As always, Middle Falls is beautifully written and there were more than a few times where I got quite emotional.
Thank you Shawn for another wonderful book

Another great one from Shawn!!

I have read every book that Shawn has written and have never been disappointed! I highly recommend this and all the Middle Falls books!

as always wonderful!

These books are so relatable and so much fun! How I would love to wake up in 1976 and be 11 years old again!

[Gene · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice gimmick with this one with the girl with the super memory. At least it held up better than the last one did.
