Ratings and reviews

I swear this series needs to be a movie, I have read all 5, 6 is out and I'm gonna go get it tomorrow. I can actually image how these people look. And I'm in love with Carter. Lol

This has to be the most unsophisticated writing I have ever encountered. I was heavily misled by all the 5 start reviews. Nothing but cursing and racial slurs...
