Fish Out of Water by MaryJanice Davidson

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, this was the third and final book of the Fred the Mermaid series. I have to admit I'm sad to have the story end even though I was a little annoyed in the fact that the story was split up into three books when it could have easily been one or two books.



I still think the first book, Sleeping with the Fishes, was the best of the three with this one coming in next. I really loved how the story ended and was quite surprised at some of the outcomes! Fred really came through as the character she was meant to be - not a damsel in distress - even though she had her moments of being it!



I have to say, I adored Thomas in this book. Especially the development of his character. I feel that if the author was determined to make this story into three books she could have expanded on more of each character. I felt we got to know Jonas more than any other supporting character - even though he was just wonderful as well!



All in all, a fun and delightful read. I'd recommend Fred the Mermaid to anyone who was looking for some laugh out loud reading.

Okay, so this book was okay. It was entertaining but I really was not happy with the outcome of the Pelagic (spelling?). I am anxious to read the next book: Fish out of Water. One issue I have, is this 3 part book series REALLY could have been all in one book. The story has SO many chapters,and the type is really spaced out - as have all the books been. SO I think I'd get more into the characters if it was all in one.



Now, I'm not too unhappy with her choice so far - but I think she'll end up with the one I want. But I won't give that away. My thing is, with Artur (Oh I dislike that name!), she's very lustful and that's all she seems to see in him. Thomas, she see's more of who he is inside - not that she doesn't look at him either, it just seems she pays more attention to Thomas, and the author seems to give him more character development.



All in all, I guess it was you're typical "middle" book, no real ending.
