 Great Book and Pefect Ending of a Series January 30, 2006
I picked The Shunning up in Wal Mart for $4.88 and it was a fantastic book. I was so anxious to read the sequels but was disappointed that Wal Mart didn't have any of them so I had to purchase each of them from the bookstore. Each book was almost 3 times the amount of the first book.
I am happy that I decided to read all three. I was also confused as to why thE Author always made reference that the Mennonites were saved and the Amish weren't because they too were good people. I am assuming it was because they lived by much stringent rules. I still say this was a great book. READ THE SHUNNING FIRST.
 Great ending to a great series October 20, 2005
This is the last book in the Lancaster series. I really enjoyed the last book. I love that Katie went through triles before the end. If you havent read the last book you should.
I must confess... May 14, 2005

I loved The Shunning the best. It seems like, after Katherine gets her dream life, she loses everything that endeared her to us in The Shunning. Please don't get me wrong, I love this book and it's predesessor, The Confession. Yes, I probably will buy them. But I will say, this didn't go quite as far as I'd expected. But like I said before, I liked it enough, so I'm giving a 4 star.
 A very disappointing ending September 30, 2004

I loved The Shunning. I tolerated The Confession. But The Reckoning? Oh, no.
Katie started out as an interesting, believable girl in The Shunning, but by the end of The Reckoning she was annoying and preachy. In fact, the whole tone of this book is annoying and preachy.
And then there's Justin. He's the heroine's love interest, and he's never even given a personality. He's just a nice but bland cardboard cutout who spends lots of money on Katherine.
And then there's the conclusion. I won't spoil it for you, in case you decide to ignore my warning and read this book anyway, but I will say that it's just what the title of my review says - a very disappointing ending. Not only that, but it doesn't even fit with Katie/Katherine's character...at least, not her character from the beginning of the trilogy.
And, as another reviewer pointed out, there is the constant, and not at all subtle, refrain that the Amish aren't "saved" (though apparently the Mennonites are). This is particularly bad at the end of the book, though by the time I got there I was so fed up with it all that I didn't really care.
My advice: Read the Shunning. Then make up your own ending rather than reading the rest of the series.
 An adequate, if rushed finale... October 29, 2002

I thought that this book seemed a little rushed at the end. By about 1/2 way through, I knew what was going to happen at the end (if not earlier). I thought that it was well written, but some story lines were just dropped--for instance, we never know what Justin's reaction is to Katie's decision, and we never find out more about Katie's life change at the end.I did like how the Amish quilters were brought into the story. Also, I liked how Daniel was written in. However, I think that it is a little strange how, by the end of the book, a bunch of the Plain people are being "saved". As I said in one of my other reviews, I think there could be a little less preaching going on in the story, but it's ok. There were emotional sections of the book, but I think that there could possibly be one more book coming in the series. The book ended well, but there were still questions, in my mind...
