I didn't even know there was a sequel to The Book of Dead Days until I took my little sister to the Kid's Section and saw it. I bought it. I'm not sorry. As much nostalgia as it brings back to when it first came out and I got shivers just reading it in bed late at night, it proved for a good read on a long day. It doesn't have as much detail as the first, obviously, and Valerian is sorely missed, but Willow and Boy continue their adventure in other places.

this is my all thime faveourite book out of all of the Marcus sedgwick (apart from witchhill, i haven't read it yet)i like the way it started with Valerian being Dead and and boy staying kelper i thought that was a bit strange i dont know why nut i thought he was just using boy for a bit and i ended up being right.
my faveourite part was the ending with the singing !!!
to be honest i did'nt really find the part interesting when we (the readers) found out how the the beast was boys bro More...

Very gripping, it was very hard to put down once I started it. The characters were very real, and the Emperor in particular I liked as he is so gullible and naive, and funny at times. Maxim made a very good evil right hand man to the Emperor, and the relationship between Boy and Willow was moving as well...

I've NEVER stopped reading a book half way through in my life, but this book............ Was a first. I HAD to stop reading it. I read multiple books at a time and when reading it and Shiver, well, it's over shadowed and I've stopped reading it. perhaps I bought a book to young for me. I don't know, I just didn't enjoy it.

I like this one a little better than the first book. This time Boy is captured by the Emperor's servants and taken to the palace. The Emperor wants to be immortal and they hope that the magicians belongings will tell them how he can be made so.

Even as a teenager with questionable critical reasoning skills, I was able to identify the convenient plot points of this sequel to The Book of Dead Days, but its gothic, dark, Halloween-esque tone was enough to keep me reading.

Pretty much the same as my review for the Book of Dead Days. Except, I read this one a little while after that. Not that it really made a difference or anything.

A excellent end (I presume) to the story of Boy, the usual moral-filled tales of kids fiction but enjoyable none-the-less.

This is the sequel to The Book of Dead Days, and it was just as good as the first one, if not somewhat more satisfying. It's not heavy or deep, but it's an enjoyable and quick read if you're looking for something to be absorbed by for a day or so. It did seem a little bit bare-bones in its detail, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and I probably just noticed it because I haven't been reading a lot of youth fiction lately (other than Harry Potter, which, as we all know, isn't really bare

This book is the sequel to The Book of Dead Days. It continues the story of Boy, who is still trying to gigure out who he is. He gets taken to the Imperial Palace and becomes a part of everything, at the same time the crazy emperor is trying to become immortal. This book is really exciting because it has a lot of suspense and plot twists. The only thing I didnt like about the book is the ending. Boy finds out who is and much much more! If your going to read then I recommend reading the Book of D
