 Sunset - Baxter Series 3, Book 4 October 24, 2008
My wife dug into this book this week and loves it. She finished book 3 and pleaded with me to get her the next book (which I had bought her for Christmas). Oh well, there is always Book 5!
This is really a great series that my wife is wholy into lock, stock and barrel. Karen, you have another fan!
 I LOVE the Baxters, but am not thrilled with repetition. October 19, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you've not read the 13 books leading up to this one, but enjoy emotional, character-driven dramas, you'll LOVE this book! If you have read all the previous Baxter tales, you have no choice but to read this one too!
So why the lower rating? Oh, Karen, I hate to say this, but ... I felt like I was reading a novelized re-cap of my favorite TV show. You know how they always have "the best of" episodes in which they show you glimpses of everything you've already watched? That's what this book was like. Yes, there were a few new plot developments, but not enough to keep me interested. I was hoping for a little more action, a little more plot. Instead I got a lot of memories -- great memories!! Tear-jerker memories! But since I already have the other books, I'm a bit disappointed in paying for another book that, for the most part, echoes what was already sitting on my shelf.
That said, I LOVE the Baxters! I miss them already and would love to follow their stories further. This book continued the series' strong themes of redemption and forgiveness, both things we could all use more of. Great story. Great family. Great author. Just too much repetition for avid fans.
Karen Kingsbury - Beautiful Ending To A Wonderful Journey Of Faith & Family October 18, 2008
Karen Kingsbury has delivered once again. It is going to be so sad to say goodbye to the wonderful Baxter Family!!! I feel as if they are "MY FAMILY". Karen truly has a GOD GIVEN GIFT of bringing God's word to her readers and applying it to her character's lives in a way that everyone, both old and young can relate and grow from spiritually.
I would encourage you to read her books!!! Your life will truly be changed!!
Karen Kingsbury October 14, 2008
THis book was a fitting end to her series, but I feel as if I knew the characters so well I hate to say goodbye. All of Ms Kingsbury books are wonderful and well written. The truths learned within her books stay with me and give me insight into the scriptures that I may have not noticed before. Karen Kingsbury is faithful in her life and writings - a true Christian witness.
I'll miss the Baxters! So sad it's ending. October 12, 2008
First of all, all of Karen kingsbury books are amazing. I have almost every single one, they move me to tears and really touch me. Her books are for so many audiences, I'm 21 and in college and am hooked. I even got my fiance reading her stories!
I was bittersweet about Sunset. Devastated to have the series end, but also happy at the way things turned out for all the characters. This book ties up all the loose hands in a great way. I was happy at how the ending turned out for each and every one of the characters I've come to know and love. They all got an ending they deserved.
This books takes a close look at marriage as well in many aspects. I enjoyed the focus on Luke and Regean's relationship and deteriorating marriage because it's so true of what happens today in society. When we do handle things right away and let things build up and grow inside of us...it's bound to catch up. For Luke and Reagan it does, but thankfully everything works out for them. As a college student who reads I felt I could relate to them.
Anyway, Sunset is a great ending to the series. I finished it in a day. I only hope that Kingsbury will further explore Cody and Bailey's possible relationship.
- also, what happened with Ashley was predictable. But i was still happy.
