I loved this book so much. The book is just so well written. The flow is fantastic, the way the chapters are broken up. Graces obsession with the wolves is beautifully portrayed. She falls in love with Sam before he is even in human form. Now that might seems kind of creepy but it doesn't come off that way. The whole thing is just so romantic.

Shiver is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. The more times I read it, the more I love it. It is absolutely amazing! Maggie Stiefvater is an extremely talented writer. The way she writes is just beautiful and almost poetic. I think her version of werewolves is original and interesting.
The main characters, Grace and Sam, are amazing characters. I enjoyed how each chapter was in either Grace's or Sam's point of view. Often times when a book has more than one character's point of view, ...more

One of the most unique things about this book is Maggie's take on werewolves. I don't want to give anything away if you haven't read it, but her wolves are so much more than the Hollywood version that you've come to know.
Sam is such a beautiful character. He's silent and strong and sensitive. His longing to stay with Grace and fear to let go of the only world he's known for years are what make him so endearing. He loves both worlds in different ways, his wolf life with Beck, his father figure, a ...more

Amazing- i could not put this book down. i am not normally into wolves but this book was just so good i read it in a day. i loved the romance between sam and grace and the over all writing of the book was great, this is a definate favourite of mine and it makes a change from vamps everywhere.
I thought this book was very good.
I heard it on audio and I liked how there was two readers, one for Sam and one for Grace.
I liked the poetry in the book very much.
It took me about half of the book before I really got into the story, but now I will definitely read or listen to the next one.

I wasn't totally in love with this book. I really liked the beginning and I liked the end, but the middle seemed a bit slow to me. A few of the characters just seemed like "caricatures" to me. I did generally like the book though and I will be reading the sequel when it comes out.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Some things were left up in the air at times, but still a page turner. Love the relationship between Grace and Sam. Hate the way it ended. I wanted to know more.
ully written, totally engrossing. Just as captivating a story as LAMENT and BALLAD, Stiefvater is an author to cherish.
