“We live and breathe words. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that tru ...more

Clockwork Prince is the second book in The Infernal Devices series. This book sent me through a whirlwind of emotions. I felt everything: happiness, misery, joy, betrayal, laughter, love and so much more. This story has more action and drama. So much happens in this book, both good and bad. This book breaks your heart, and you can only hope that it will mend in Clockwork Princess. Clockwork Prince is written well and very descriptive. The events that take place are exciting and nerve-wracking.Th ...more

I really like how the author writes and makes you think about the certain things that the characters are faced with. I just loved how Charlotte and Henry talked after Nate was killed, Will and Tessa hurt. All the love coming together or apart.

I'm glad that Magnus was there for Will and they finally found the demon. I feel like i should've known that the curse was just a lie. Perhaps the demon lost a loved one and felt like torturing someone else?

Speaking of love, I could see how Te Heaven at last

I really like how the author writes and makes you think about the certain things that the characters are faced with. I just loved how Charlotte and Henry talked after Nate was killed, Will and Tessa hurt. All the love coming together or apart.

I'm glad that Magnus was there for Will and they finally found the demon. I feel like i should've known that the curse was just a lie. Perhaps the demon lost a loved one and felt like torturing someone else?

Speaking of love, I could see how Tessa was good for both Will and Jem. But when Jem asked her to marry him... i just wanted her to run to Will. It seems like in all the parts when they kissed or whatever that it showed more passion than anything Jem could give her.

I had a feeling that Charlotte might have been pregnant at one time during the book so it was nice to see that suspicion was carried out. Cassandra sure likes to leave cliffhangers! Cecily at the institute. Was that part of Mortmain's plan? How awkward it will be for Will, Jem and Tessa! What if Gideon even starts liking Cecily? Poor Sophie! Or perhaps one of the other servants will feast his eyes on her? I'm still surprised that they haven't got rid of Bridget yet.

My favorite quotes from the book:

"then I'll come," said Tessa. "I've never been on a train." Will threw up his hands. "that's it? You're coming because you've never been on a train before?" "Yes," she said, knowing how much her calm demeanor drove him mad. "I should like to ride in one, very much."
“Trains are great dirty smoky things," said Will. "You won't like it."
Tessa was unmoved. "I won't know if I like it until I try it, will I?"
"I've never swum naked in the Thames before, but I know I wouldn't like it." "But think how entertaining for sightseers," said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.”

"The virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Man's flaw is that he can deteriorate; and his virtue is that he can improve". - Hasidic saying

"But all these were things he could not want, because they were things he could not have, and wanting what you could not have let to misery and madness." ...more

I have only word to describe how I feel about this book and that is....whoa. How can this possibly only be a book. I swear I felt like I was in a whole other world. I felt like I was in London.

Everyone would laugh at me while I read this book because I got so into it that I would like slam my head on the table or scream NOOO!! or YEEEEES!!! Seriously guys this book tops the first.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the glimpse into what makes Will who he is and while i like Jem... this really made me fall in love with Will. i can't wait to rip into the final installment because while i believe i know how this series will end the only way i can see to get there is tragedy. ...more
