What to say about this book....

First, I must say, it was PERFECTION. Complete and utter perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the very beginning until the very last page. The pictures in this book gave the story such a real feel. I'm so sad that it is now over, but I cannot wait for Hollow City. It will most certainly be the next book that I buy.

The characters were so captivating. I found myself loving each and every one of them. When I was reading from Jacob's point of view I felt like I was ...more

I wanted to re-read this and Hollow City before Library of Souls came out. That didn't happen.

I think this book will always be special to me. It was my first fantasy book and even though it wasn't until months later, it was what made be start to read more fantasy. Without reading this I don't know if I ever would have read Harry Potter.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. I l ...more

*3.75 stars
It was very slow for a while. I did not become really interested in it until page 127. Though, it did pick up pretty fast after that. I grew more and more interested as I flew through the pages. By the end, I was engrossed. Big cliffhanger ending, as I had been expecting. I'm glad that I pushed myself through this book, because if I hadn't, I honestly would have put it down and never pick it up again. ...more

I might have enjoyed this in 2012? That’s all I can say.
Didn’t work for me at all.

3.75 stars - I really, really liked the idea behind this book with the peculiar children and the photos and everything, but I didn't love all of the wight and hollows business, I thought it could have been done differently. I also didn't like the Emma-Jacob relationship, it was just weird. but overall, really cool book! ...more

I had to put this book on pause for a bit because school started. I was really enjoying the first part, but then when I picked it back up again I wasn't as into it. I think if I would have read it all together, I probably would have liked it more. ...more
