Fantastic

+ Inkheart
+ Too much literature!

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (Hardcover) Ok so I have to admit this book started off slow. Its boring for about the first half. But I stuck it out and read until the end and was so glad I did. This book is so magical you can imagine everything Cornelia Funke wrote down. This book made me think so ...

Compelling plot, great characters, and a well written book. Great for any age.

+ A fun, adventurous run for the imagination!
+ Wonderfully written--great story and great to read aloud

Too often I've seen books, well-written and compelling, passed off as just another "children's" story, something that anyone above the suggested reading level shouldn't read. A book like this one could easily be thrown into that category. After all, talking animals on a fantasy island, seems pretty ...

"Blessed Saint Giles, it's hard to be a man!" CRISPIN: AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD follows sequel on the heels of its predecessor CRISPIN: THE CROSS OF LEAD, winner of the 2003 Newbery Award, New York Times bestseller, and Avi's 50th book. While certainly readable as a standalone novel, the sequel ...

Garth Nix

Eos, 2005

Familiar yet never cliche

+ The Abhorsen Trilogy
+ One Of My Favorite Authors

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 ...

I loved Inkspell - Absolutely loved it. It was in the series of books that first inspired me to write. The plot was just entrancing... who else ever thought of being able to read yourself into a book? Certainly many people wished they could, but I don't know of anyone else who has written about it. ...

Unlike other people, I saw the movie before I read the book. People talked to me about it, but I thought it was a depressing book series with the last dragon on earth in it. But after seeing the movie and learning I had been mistaken in this viewpoint, I got the book from the library and am now ...
