Yasmin, so far we've heard from one person who didn't like the book in this thread. akaivyleaf have yet to response with specifics of why she disliked the book. Besides aren't those who disliked the book reasons as valid, whatever they maybe, as those who loved the book? Because the "pro" Minion comments have been more about other things than the book itself.

I'll try my question again, shouldn't a book stand on it's own and not rely on the sucessive books to tell the story? What if other readers won't read the rest of the books in the series? Does that mean they'll never know the story of Minion?

This sequel thingy (trilogy) should more like a marketing grimmack to sell books (concerned more with quantity and quality). Instead of telling the story in one book the author stretches it out over three books. Yes, the author may have signed a contract for more than one book but anything could happen and books 2 and/or 3 may not even make it to the shelves. Is the wording, part 1 or book 1 of 3, or something similiar written on the front cover? Or is it that all these questions left on the last page of Minion?
