The art is great! The stories are a bunch of one shots that are alright. I'm all for fun one shots, but the Christmas one in here AGAIN pretty much anyone who wanted to snoop around could find out who batgirl is based on bring her friends along her missions. - If I remember right I had the same issue with the last volume.
I'd hoping to get a more out of this volume, all in all it was an enjoyable read.

Volume 4 comprised of about 5-6 short stories , mini-adventures , if you will and for most part I enjoyed them .
The stories gave a good feel of how Barbara and Batgirl were handled by Hope larson , a fun , sunlit outlook in the bat family , always witty, looking for solutions to not only problems a crime fighter faces but also problems a girl faces .
The Penguin story and the story of Batgirl attending a funeral were the best of the lot but most other stories were also fun and gave a Cartoon show episode vibe .
There is a dissapointment that this volume wasn't made up with a long story arc , but overall I definitely enjoyed this

Larson's winning streak on Batgirl concludes with a more internal, darker insight into Barbara Gordon but still maintains its fun, flamboyant tone.

As much as I love Batgirl, I have not been a fan of this run. The stories seem jumbled and not remotely connected. You have to go into this as if you are reading a number of completely standalone tales (or maybe a couple of part one and part two stories), otherwise, it will be confusing and not enjoyable. There are a few holiday-themed tales and an interesting one where Batgirl works with her father - but overall there weren't any that were particularly memorable.
