I enjoyed reading about the past & then how it all actually went down... I think a lot of people are going to be on the borderline with this one. Not hating it, but definitely not loving it......more

The only things I disliked about this book were (1.) the fact that the love story reminded me of Twilight. Rush into things much? & (2.) Beth Fantaskey took forever to describe things throughout the book (which is not necessarily a bad thing!), but at the end it was just done. No explanations or anything. And those two things were enough to bring a four star rating down to a three star rating.
I do think that most people will think that it's a cute love story. If you were interested in it, then go ahead & read it... Especially if you enjoyed the Twilight saga....more
Following in the footsteps of Caster Chronicles book one, Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness was a great read. I often wonder while reading theseFollowing in the footsteps of Caster Chronicles book one, Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness was a great read. I often wonder while reading these books just how much is written by Margaret Stohl & how much is written by Kami Garcia. I love the voice these books have. To me they feel closer to how an actual teen would talk & act than most books recently have. I love that they are based in the south & I love that they are about normal kids (as far as the mortals go) who aren't the most beautiful, richest, smartest... Just normal kids. And they are intelligent books. I didn't feel like it was being dumbed down just because it was young adult fiction, which happens sometimes. All in all, I would recommend this book just as much as I did the other one... Maybe more. And the cliffhanger left me needing to know more. I can't wait till the third installment comes out!...more

I'm rating this right in the middle because the first few stories were not really my favorite, but the closer it got to the end, the more I liked it.I'm rating this right in the middle because the first few stories were not really my favorite, but the closer it got to the end, the more I liked it....more
Coraline was good, but I think it would have been a better read for me if I hadn't seen the movie yet. The movie is so amazing, with such awesome 3D eCoraline was good, but I think it would have been a better read for me if I hadn't seen the movie yet. The movie is so amazing, with such awesome 3D effects, that the book just fell a little short for me. Which is rare, because I usually think the books are a hundred times better than movies....more
