Twilight saga Breacing Dawn

out of this world as soon as you pick up the book you are there with bella and Edward. It is a can not but down book they all are.

Pleasure to read

This is the first D. Nicholls' book I have read and I it turned out to be a lovely, funny and romantic love story. <br /><br />The book makes no pretences to be a work of a literary genius, or exprole the dark under-currents of the human soul. It does, however, flow easily and pleasantly, offering the readers of different ages a chance to remember on their younger years, buzz of the student life, parties, feelings of first love, first marriage, arrival of the first child, etc., in a positive and cheereful fashion. In general, I loved the book from the beginning to end and would recommend it to anyone seeking an uncomplicated and witty romantic story.

Bite me!.

Stephanie Meyer writes vampire fiction as many teenage girls do -- overblown writing, sexy cold vampires, and a vacuously attractive heroine who serves as the readers' stand-in.<br /><br />And so it's hardly surprising that her mega hit debut"Twilight" is essentially a teenage fantasy about finding the Perfect Hot Immortal Coverboy Who Longs For You Alone. Innocuous sparkling vampires, buckets of pointless teenage angst and a plot tacked on at the last minute leave this one of the more bloodless examples of vampire romance.<br />

Dead and Gone

This book is an exciting continuation of the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. She maybe isn't the greatest literary writer of the century! but she tells a great story - you just have to suspend all belief and accept that vampires and all other 'supes' exist - please writer faster, Ms Harris - can't wait for your next episode in Sookie's life

twenties girl by sophie kinsella

This book was ordered for my wife to take away on holiday.<br />It arrived well packaged and in time for our holiday.<br />We were both impressed.

Amazing!

After the mysterious death of a boy she knew in a fire when they snuck off during a party, Luce is sent to reform school, Sword and Cross, when she can't explain what happened. Trying to come to terms with the death, deal with her guilt, and escape the weird shadows that seem to follow her everywhere isn't easy, especially when all she can think about is Daniel. Absolutely gorgeous, he does his best to hurt her at every turn. Luce can't figure out what his problem is, but nor can she get over her attraction to him. It should be easy when the equally gorgeous Cam is showering her with attention, but she can't shake the feeling that she knows Daniel from somewhere.<br /><br />What Luce doesn't know is that Daniel holds a secret, one that involves her. If she was to get too close and find out, it could quite literally kill her.<br /><br />I have one word for you: WOW! This book is absolutely amazing! I can't tell you just how good this book is. I was dying to get to the end and find out just what was happening, and was despairing over my slow reading pace. Seriously, this book is awesome!<br /><br />The characters in this book are just amazing! Luce is great, but troubled and disturbed. Thinking she's mad because of these shadows that are always there, and trying to figure out how on earth Trevor died. And then she has to deal with the confusing emotions the come with dealing with Daniel and what his problem is. Daniel himself is still a bit of a mystery, but amazingly gorgeous. You can't help but feel sorry for him when you find out his story.<br /><br />Arriana, the girl who takes Luce under her wing when she starts school, is just fantastic! You never know whether to trust her or not as you go through the book, as she's just mental! She's the most quirkiest person I've ever read about and I couldn't help but love her! Penn, another of Luce's good friends at Sword and Cross, is awesome with her easy friendship and accepting Lucy straight away, but also with her sneaky ways, reading people's files, and hacking into computers. She's a lovely little spy.<br /><br />There are so many questions that come up as you read through this book, and you don't really find ut any answers until you get to the end. However, this doesn't make the story slow at all. Lauren Kate has a clever knack for keeping you engrossed even when not too much is happening, by having bits of information inserted along the way, which just leads to even more questions, and although you know a few details of the story that Luce doesn't, you're dying to get to the part where Luce does find out, so you can get all these other questions answered and find out why. Really, you can't turn the pages fast enough.<br /><br />As to the forbidden love, the chemistry, how deep the attraction goes between Luce and Daniel and how quickly, I was kind of thinking"Really? Already?" but saying that, I have reacted that way before when reading other stories. I think I tend to miss tiny little things in the first read through, and when I read through again, everything piles up, and how deeply the main characters feel makes much more sense. So maybe another read through is needed for me. But there is one word to describe it: intense. You could cut the sexual tension between the two of them, and as you're reading, you're just dying for Daniel to stop being a git and just kiss the girl already!<br /><br />The action in this story is awesome, but there isn't a huge amount of it, because Luce needs to be kept safe so she is removed fromt he situation. I would have liked a little bit more description; I have a very visual imagination, and so when I read, I see it all, but I had a little trouble picturing"shadow-locusts" - but then again, maybe you can't really picture them, being shadowy. There is a twist you don't expect at all, and are shocked beyond anything. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat, I'm telling you.<br /><br />An awesome story, but don't expect many of your questions to be answered in this book. There is a kind of cliff hanger, and the end leaves you with even more questions. But as the summery says, Daniel's secret could kill Luce, so instead of a flood of answers, you get a trickle. It is torture, but it's good torture.<br /><br />It would be very easy to compare Fallen to other books with a similar premise. I urge you not to. Don't pick this book up with any others in mind. Fallen is an amazing book on it's own, and you'll be doing this awesome book a serious injustice if you compare as you go along. Close your mind to any other books, sit back, and just enjoy!<br /><br />I cannot wait to read the next book in this series, Torment. Seriously, Fallen is unbelievably good, and I may just have to read it again soon. You need this book!<br />

mmmmmm

This is a nice story, well written and yes I am with the others on this one, the cover is great but it was a little slow paced for me. I didn't feel compelled to read it, quite happy to put it down and forget about it. It is a supernatural romance about a girl and a werewolf, I wouldn't compare it to Twilight or Sookie Stackhouse as those books are in a different league. I can see how the book would appeal to young teens.

:)

I really enjoyed this book, if you like the book Fallen by Lauren Kate, then you'd love this book.

The perfect ending!

If you have read the first three of the Twilight books then you wont be disapointed with Breaking Dawn!

Amazing!!

one word - AMAZING!!!<br />only problem is once you start reading you CAN NOT put it down. would recomend it to any one who is into the vampire novel scene at the moment. <br />do have to say though, once you get to the end i would have the next one on stand-bye :)and for you to not reading it at night other wise you could wake people up when yelling at the ending.<br /><br />Great book :D just got to wait for the next one to arrive. <br />

cant rate it as never received it!!

ordered this as a gift, however never received it or received my refund. not happy

I loved loved loved this book!

In short I adored this book. Marian you are a genius! This book was perfection and although the main subject was rather harrowing at times it absolutely moved me! And a marvelous ending!<br /><br />Read this book!

Poor imitation of much better books

I, like so many others, bought this book thinking it may live up to Twilight's standards. Unfortunately, despite all the reviews saying it is like Twilight, it isn't. The plot has more parallels with The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith (same girl who's lost her parents, knight in shining armour arrives, there's even the same character name 'Damen', although spelt differently admittedly!). However, unlike The Vampire Diaries, the plot of Evermore is confusing and the characterisation is very poor. Its definetly more suited to the younger young adult reader.

an indulgent delight!

Half way through this book I am really enjoying myself, an excellent mix of stories, so good to pick up and dive in! Highly recommended

My name is Miss S Firth and i'm a Bookaholic!

Three or four stars i couldn't decide so i went for four. I just finished this book and i'm still deciding if i loved it or just liked it. I definately didnt dislike it but i found i disliked Rachel a lot for most of the book. Infact at some points i hated her. Childish, rude, immature, selfish, spoilt, attention seeking, drug adled cow. But you do realise it's the drugs making her this way, and maybe i grew slightly fond of her, but i would not class her as a favourite character of any books i read! And i've read Watermelon and i liked the Walsh family in that and thought they were quirky, but the mother really riled me in this book. <br /><br />The best parts were in the Cloisters clinic, i found the other patients (or inmates as Rachel called them) brilliant! And the writing very clever. I was amazed how MK can make me feel a little bit of sympathy for a wife beater. Just a little bit though. And i found it really intresting how much denial Rachel, and the others, were in. I loved how the nun Josephine knew how to hit a nerve and get them talking. I actually wanted to go to this clinic and meet these people.<br /><br />And of course, Luke Costello, how fabulous he is. Why dont men like him actually exist i wonder? I loved the sound of his friends too, all calling each other 'man' haha. And i was probably slightly jealous because my dream is to go to NYC and much of the book is Rachel's time living there with Brigit. <br /><br />Anyway, another thing i'd like to say is that i've also read The Other Side Of The Story, and some reviewers for that book were saying that it wasnt a patch on this one. I couldn't disagree more! i dont think MK will top TOSOTS. But i do think this book is definately inspiring, and you should give it a try, i'm nearly over my anger towards Rachel. And maybe i can admire her. A bit :P

So disappointed

As a big fan of Stephanie Lauren's other books, I was extremely disappointed by this second installment in the Black Cobra Series. The characters are too stereotypical, too bland and not at all interesting. There's no spark between them and the love story is completely unbelievable. About three chapters in I was ready to strangle the heroine for all her talk about"the one". Also, her diary entries are silly, I can't believe anyone would write like that. <br />The hero is like all the other heros in Stephanie Lauren's books, only much less symphatical, much less interesting and it seems he's only interested in the heroine out of duty, because he has too be. <br /><br />The pace of the book starts off much too fast, and if you haven't read the first book you'll be completely lost as to what is going on. Then it slows too much and the same things happen again and again, and when the hero and heroine finally reaches England (after having been attacked uncounted times by what must be thousands of bad guys)it ends in a similar way as the first book in the series (and I suspect the last two will be the same).<br /><br />If you haven't read Stephanie Lauren's before, DON'T start with this one, buy Devil's Bride instead, it's much more worth your money.

Good but maybe I've read too many Kinsella

Read this in a couple of days , books are like chocolate for me, once I get started i can't stop ;o) The same pattern comes back regularly in Kinsella's books but then you know when you pick it up that it's for a lighthearted fun read, a bit like watching coronation street...

black lace quickies

the book was good ansd arrived within a few days in excellent condition, well recommended

STUNNING (IN SO MANY WAYS)

A beautifully enticing and engaging story of people - yes, of people - containing beautifully drawn characters, whose lives are interwoven so apparently effortlessly that their routines, realisations and revelatory experiences unfold as undramatically and dramatically as they do to in our own lives; we are with the characters, all of them, every step of the way, as far removed from our own material circumstances as their lives may be.<br /><br />There are no 'good' guys and there are no 'baddies', only people who doubt, and desire as we all do. Hence, we sympathise with each character while we are with them, and despise those who they despise. A true mark of genius to be able to do this with such an array of personalities.<br /><br />Superficially, a tale of love and relationships, but this novel details and reflects on the personal and political, and how the personal is political and vice-versa. The evocation of time, place and people is so fully realised that you cannot help but become part of it and, as with all classic works, transpose much or all of it to your own experience.

A much darker Sookie

Fan should like this outing, although it is much darker than previous books. The shifters reveal themselves to the world and theres some serious fairy trouble. I feel that Sookie is going to be very bleak and cynical in the next book having lost her cheery outlook on life.
