    <body><![CDATA[I liked the characters and the world and I liked how the Verses were an integral part of the world.  For some reason the book was hard to get into.  I suspect it may have been because the author spent a lot of time on how the protagonist became accustomed to the strange world she found herself in.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29013298">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Kind of slow to get into, but fairly decent once it gets going... Not so sure I'd read it again though (thats why it only got a 3) - I'm thinking the second one must be even better, because I trust my friend who recommended it's recommendations.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book!  It reminded me of Narnia, which I love and can't wait for the new movie :)  I wish they'd make a movie out of this; it would be so great!  I could totally relate to Susan, being an almost forty mother of many.  I loved how Sharon paralleled fantasy and reality and how she kept th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17563987">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Self-deprecating soccer mom gets dropped into an alternate universe and discovers she's destined to be a hero there.  She feels abandoned by God and is whiny and real-sounding and not at all your typical fantasy or Christian hero.  That's the good part.  But there's a ridiculous plot twist halfway t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19254405">more...</a>]]></body>
