The Looking Glass Wars 79 reviews Frank Beddor
Dial, 2006
Imagination isn't just for kids anymore
+ What an amazing book! + Not for kids
I saw this book on a walmart shelf, and I immediately thought it looked good. But I don't usually buy books, let alone books of a trilogy, without previously reading them.
However, this one looked so promising that a few weeks later I got it at Borders. I just couldn't resist.
I am very glad ...

Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2) 1498 reviews Christopher Paolini
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007
Loved this one too...
+ A Good Read for a Rainy Day + Warm journey, warm feelings
I think I liked this one even better than the first one. Probably because I felt more of a kinship to the characters this far into the story. I've read other reviewers that have accused the writer of stealing the story from George Lucas... comparing it to the Star Wars series. I do not see this ...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) 5174 reviews J. K. Rowling
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2002
An amazing novel
+ Pure Epic-ness! + Best H.P. Book!
Without a doubt this is my favorite novel of the series so far. The action in this novel was intense and I finished the novel in a couple of days. JK Rowling always does a great job of mixing foreshadowing and mystery. With each novel, I have begun to realize that nothing is as it seems. I ...

Eragon (Inheritance) 88 reviews Christopher Paolini
Laurel Leaf, 2007
Wonderful series for readers of all ages
+ A Page Turner + A worthy first effort
I have read many of the reviews written about this book and series and have to say that much of the negative response is overly critical. Are there similarities to Star Wars...yes. Other than the use of races such as elves and dwarves, I have a hard time comparing this work to Tolkien.
This is ...

High Wizardry (digest): The Third Book in the Young Wizards Series 52 reviews Diane Duane
Magic Carpet Books, 2003
Diane Duane
+ Another great read + great book
The first in this series than moves outside Diane Duane's familiar home ground-- it moves far outside that ground (beyond the red-shift limit of the universe.) More importantly, it is a great book about being sisters, about the border of friendship and romance, and about finding one's place in the ...

So You Want to Be a Wizard (digest): The First Book in the Young Wizards Series 190 reviews Diane Duane
Magic Carpet Books, 2003
Read this when you've grown out of Harry Potter

This is a magical book, in a magical universe with magical characters and real tears. This is a classic, the sort that I always have a copy of, the sort that I give to my kids.

Through the looking glass; Physik takes Septimus beyond...
+ AWESOME! + Physik
Angie Sage keeps the Septimus Heap series going strong with Physik - the third book after Magyk and Flyte. In Physik we have a complex web of plot elements (no spoilers in this review) that take the narrative deep into the history and architecture of the castle and deeper into a an increasingly ...
