The plot is interesting, the characters are ones you can believe in and the setting is cool (like an alternate 1920's). Definitely recommend!<br /><a href="http://www.housecleaning-maidservice-nj.com/brick_maid_service.php" rel="nofollow">Highly recommended Brick NJ maid service information</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-74315160903361612332014-02-04T22:16:28.329-05:002014-02-04T22:16:28.329-05:00i wish there were, it would be so much more helpfu...i wish there were, it would be so much more helpful than this... reading book reviews....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547080347232174797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-32721381974067243842014-02-04T22:15:43.805-05:002014-02-04T22:15:43.805-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547080347232174797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-40979297024797986452013-01-02T14:01:57.147-05:002013-01-02T14:01:57.147-05:00Thanks so much, Kay!

I really think you'll enjoy The Raven Boys (I LOVED it!) and I've had the Shiver trilogy on my list for awhile now, so I'm excited about that.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825578716168335522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-82111887677693840882013-01-02T13:42:19.675-05:002013-01-02T13:42:19.675-05:00I really enjoyed reading this book and your review...I really enjoyed reading this book and your review was fun to read! I loved Scorpio Races but I can see that with all the expectations you had before the book how it did ring a little flat. I do however agree with you that her writing style is wonderful. I enjoyed Shiver a lot (not so much the last book in that trilogy because I believe it got a little repetitive) and I can't wait to try out The Raven Boys.<br /><br />I enjoyed your response to my Top Ten this week and noticed that we have the same reading tastes so I am now a NEW FOLLOWER!<br />Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-30929325547138036052012-12-13T18:19:34.888-05:002012-12-13T18:19:34.888-05:00why is there no spark notes on the damn book?!why is there no spark notes on the damn book?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-74136219572821980032012-11-26T16:40:48.384-05:002012-11-26T16:40:48.384-05:00I think I just expected more magical stuff (and ki...I think I just expected more magical stuff (and killer sea horses, haha) than what was given, but all in all, it's not a bad book.
