The China Garden of Mystery

I thought that the begining of the book was a bit boring because all it did was have Clare and her mom fighting about going to Ravensmere. Then when they got there no much happened till she met Mark. From there the story is great. But for me the ending is kind of hard to understand. When Mark and Clare are looking for the Benision. It is a wonderful book so i don't want to ruin the end for all of you who didn't read it.
So enjoy this romance mystery:)

put this on the china shelf!

Clare is plunged into a strange world the summer before she is to start university. Her mother heads off to an ancient manor, Ravensmere, to take care of its dying owner. Clare insists on accompanying her, despite her mother's pleas and warnings that "Ravensmere is a strange place". Once there, Clare meets Mark, a biker who pursues her. Ravensmere is an odd, mystical place, and Clare is drawn to it. While she explores the grounds, she hears rumors of "the Bennison", and the dying old man tells her that she is meant to be the "gaurdian". As she and Mark begin their romance, she realizes that it isn't simply boy meets girl- she and Mark seemed destined for each other, their lives inexplicably twined. Time is running out for Clare to discover the mystery of Ravensmere....will she find out the truth and save the place?

Great Romantic suspense novel

The China Garden was great. It was about a girl named Claire who traveled with her mother to Ravensmere where she works as a hospice. But ppl act strange around Claire. It appears that the people of this town know something and her mother is keeping it from her. But things start to unravel, like her mother's mysterious past. Enter Mark, the very attractive biker who Claire tries to avoid but can't. But when she finds he's also in the middle of it all, things start to change.

In the begining Claire is serious and lacks having fun. It was inspiring how she changes and is more open with herself. It only gets better when she falls for Mark. The adventure is that of the heart and strength one person can hold. It was inspiring and will keep you guessing 'til the end.

very good book

My mom bought me this book only because the main character (Clare) and I share the same first name and it is even spelled the same. How many pieces of liturature do you come across with the name clare spelled without the "i". I thought this book would be incredibly strange, but I loved it.
Personally, I find it amazing and wonderfully creative that the author invented so much history for this book. It must have taken forever to do so. I give her props.
Also, the descriptions are astounding. Her writing describes everythign to the point where you are actually standing in the garden or whatever scene you are in.
The love story. This one was great. I thought that Clare fell in love with Mark a little bit too soon after she hated him, but that was the only shaky thing. Clare's emotions and hormones were very realistic and the fights she and Mark got into showed that no relationship is perfect, even in true love. Personally, I thought Mark was a great character. He was the cool bad boy with the motorcycle, free spirit, and bossiness. I loved everything about him.
The mystery in this book was good too. It was very unique and cool. Everything was very suspensful and led you right up until the end.
Oveerall, this is a wonderfull book and I recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy, love stories, and mysteries. Enjoy.

Berry's The China Garden

When I read this book, it really affected me. I thought it well written and amazingly thought provoking. Days after I finished it I was still trying to process what had happend. I am in highschool and this book affected me. I can actually say that this is one of few books that I wish to jump inside of and actually experience what happened. I recommend this book to any person because I believe that it truly makes you wonder and you can read it over and over and it always affects you.
