The Violet Keystone (The Seventh Tower, Book 6)

21 reviews
Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2001

just a side note
I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Tal and Milla do not form a romance at any point in this series. In fact, I think the story is stronger for it. It is often too easy to become distracted by the element of romance, to the point where whoever the main character is interested in becomes merely important as a love element. It is of course possible to have a story where there is romance ...

a fresh new look at children's fantasy
I have always had a particular interest in children/teen fantasy. I normally am an adult fantasy reader, but sometimes it is nice to read a book that isn't trying to play off like the real world. This book is such a clever, compelling read that I was sorely disappointed to have to wait for more. I have never (so far) read a Garth Nix book that doesn't re-inspire me to read more books. ...

Find the Third Part of the Will and get the Third Key from Drowned Wednesday. Also, Arthur must free the Will's followers that are trapped in Wednesday stomach and deal with a new enemy name Feverfew. It seems so much for a boy to deal with, ...

The Boys Vol. 3: Good for the Soul

8 reviews
Garth Ennis

Dynamite Entertainment, 2008

The Boys are at it again
Garth Ennis continues to write a funny, in your face, and imaginative collection. The concept of keeping over the top super heroes under control is good, but the way the concept develops gives it teeth. Robertson's art work is gritty enough to enhance the story, without being primitive. The match between artist and writer is nearly as good as the Ennis/Dillon match up in the Preacher series. ...

Good Quality
I have nothing other to say than that the product that I got was in perfect condition and exactly what I ordered. I cannot ask for anything more.

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2007

a verry good book (A++)
Sir Thursday was an interesting book. You will have to read the previous three books to enjoy it thoroughly. Keys to the Kingdom is a fantasy series, a very good one. The book starts off at a council of war between Dame Primus, Arthur and all of his subjects. When they are interrupted and Arthur is drafted into Thursday's army. He has to go! Here he is trained and finds out he has a new enemy ...

Lady Friday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 5)

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2008

Encore! Encore!
Garth Nix has captured the attention of my sons and made reading something they actually want to do. I catch my ten year old hiding under his covers at night with a book-light to finish these books. Any book that captures the attention of boys in this video game age is my hero.

The Abhorsen Trilogy Box Set

25 reviews
Garth Nix

HarperTeen, 2005

Familiar yet never cliche
Nix's world is always familiar enough enough to be comfortable but always different enough to feel completely fresh. His style leaves a hint of mystery to his characters and world that carries through the entire trilogy. I bought it becuase a friend told me that it has the most satisfying ending to a trilogy that she'd ever read, and it didn't disappoint. The only point I disagreed with her on ...

I laughed and than I cried, with a very lovable ending you will not forget soon I highly recommend this book for everyone Ronnie ...

Garth Ennis' 303

7 reviews
Garth Ennis, Jacen Burrows

Avatar Press, 2007

Masterful storytelling
I don't know what it is, but when I finished 303 I felt like this was perhaps one of the most well-written stuff Ennis has ever done. The story's on a nameless, aged Russian colonel that starts out leading a dozen Russian Special Forces into Afghanistan to retrieve some secret documents from a downed US airplane. Interestingly, the English SAS are after it, along with the American military. It ...

Above the Veil
I am so thankful that Amazon had this book plus the last two. I had purchased the first three at Barnes and Noble thinking that was all there was to this story. That was not the case so I was in a panic trying to read the "rest of story" and no other book stores had them. A friend suggested Amazon and low and behold you had every single one! From now on I will come to Amazon first. The prices ...

How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets

Garth Stein

Soho Press, 2008

Where have you been all my life???
This novel is a brilliant and beautifully written meditation on the ever shifting nature of the truth. It is also an excellent portrayal of how Evan, the "black sheep" of his family, learns to take charge of his own story and stop letting others dictate it for him. Yes, he is a flawed character. He has secrets that he has kept from his family because he was too ashamed to reveal them. He has a ...

The Boys Vol. 2: Get Some

11 reviews
Garth Ennis

Dynamite Entertainment, 2008

Not your dad's comic book...
If you grew up with Superman and Batman, you should really appreciate a graphic novel like "The Boys". It's for us adults, and it's possibly the most unique comic I've read. It's not for kids, nor is it for anyone who's not tolerant of profanity and/or sexual content. But if you're looking for something really different, and you aren't easily offended, "The Boys" is for you.

The Art of Racing in the Rain LP

Garth Stein

HarperLuxe, 2008

Witty, hearbreaking and incredibly touching!
From the start I was utterly entranced. This is a touching story of a family, their joys and heartbreaks as told by the one who knows them best - their dog 'Enzo'. Beautifully written, witty, heartbreaking and incredibly thought-provoking. Enzo has gleaned most of his knowledge from watching his master Denny an aspiring racing driver, from watching TV (responsibly) and studying in-dash video ...

Into Battle (The Seventh Tower, Book 5)

22 reviews
Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2001

Very, Very Good
I am an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, romance and historical novels. I found this entire series to be exceptional. I am an adult and these seemed to be written for a younger generation but I could not put these books down! If you would like some light fantasy reading that is different from many of the books out there, then this is for you.

The Boys Vol. 1: The Name of the Game

26 reviews
Garth Ennis

Dynamite Entertainment, 2008

Fun
This was a fun read. Ennis skewers the whole JLA/Avengers super hero concept. While it is not as witty as some of his other works, he does have an interesting story that is just beginning. For those afraid to get into a series for fear that it will go on and on, there will be an end to the series. Ennis has said it will run approximately 60 issues give or take some. So there will be a payoff ...
