How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsDeparture from the "formula"
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019
People who read this series only to re-experience the "formula" of the previous books: "Oh no, emergency, wallow in agony, hey here's an idea, Book fixed!" Will not be disappointed, we have a bit of that for the first half. People who are tired of the formula and want the story to move on and do something different, you will REALLY not be disappointed, wow. People who want to know more, have questions answered, etc... there is even a (very) small nod to you at the very end to keep you happy.

That said, if you like the ending, and are not angry/devastated, than I wonder if you actually read the first books? It is good to feel negative things because of the ending. BUT PLEASE!!!! do not direct that anger towards Craig, give him the benefit of the doubt, expect that the next couple books will pick up where this left off, and pay off in the end. IF the next few books do not pay off and he goes Game Of Thrones on us then maybe come back and say "This is where it all went wrong". But for know be thankful that an author has given us a series so good that this book is able to punch you in the gut, that shows how much he has already touched your soul. Recover from the punch, and lets see where it goes!

Then again some people live to complain and be unhappy, no pleasing you in that case... Except Craig did please you! He gave you another place to shout your endless complaints into the void for us to ignore!

2.0 out of 5 starsCliffhanger
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019
I have been reading this series in the hopes that humans would eventually be able to actually develop their own tech. And once again I am let down.

I am also seriously angry about the ending. I would never have read this book had I known beforehand.

In my opinion it’s time to just let this series go by the way side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series!

Absolutely love the book. I CANNOT wait to read the next in the series. If you like sci fi and rooting for the underdogs then this is the series for you. Lots of humour with the right amount of suspense and “oh crap what now?” mixed in.

But that ending...wtf, leaving us like that to wait months for the next one...(angry emoji here)
Anyways, thanks for tunning down the beer can's constant rant from Armageddon. For me this one hit a perfect balance.

Outstanding story. If you want a good read, venture into each book in the series. You too will applaud the author for both an excellent story, and for how the story unfolds. Nice job! I believe this book will become one of the american classic.

This whole series is awesome. When a new book hits I can’t wait to read it. The audio books are great. Craig has a way of making you want to turn the next page, I am already excited about the next installment.

Another great installment of the great Skippy. One more step in saving humanity from Murphy's Law. I was definitely surprised with the final chapter. Looking forward for the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, the ending sucked, but...
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
Really, the ending only sucked because it's a cliff hanger, and the next book isn't out yet. It's the waiting to see what comes next that's killing me. Other than that, the book was another fun filled romp for the Merry Band of Pirates. I enjoyed it very much.

Rarely is such a lengthy saga worthwhile. This is an exception. Read it and enjoy this epic tale that keeps characters alive and developing as well as the story is believable, surprising and yet consistent!

Just the end was a Cliff Hanger and it also felt like the book was only half written.
Sorry Craige but we new Skippy would do what he did from book one it just would have been nice if the human part was not in such jeopardy.

Like the other before it in this series this one does not disappoint. Only bad thing is that at the time of this review I have to wait for book 10.
