I didn't expect this book to be this good. Sure, I've read some positive reviews but so many books have positive reviews and I still didn't like them. Well, this one I did like.

I was sceptic at first because it was told in boy's POV but it turned out to be a perfect choice. It was spectacular! I loved Ethan and his devotion to Lena and how he never gave up even when she wanted him to go. And Lena was annoying at times but I still loved her.

Link was one of my favorites, even though he was scare

3.5 stars.

So what hasn't been said about Beautiful Creatures? It's a pretty popular book, and one that I've been wanting to read for awhile now. I really like the writing style, the flow, and the beautiful, lush descriptions of the South. I think the story is strong and equally as compelling. The characters are fierce and unique. It gets compared to Twilight and True Blood, and I can see why some people would say that.

Didn't think I'd like this as much, but for the most part, I'm pretty surprised with the effort of book 1.

Plus it didn't annoy and disappointed me like one *coughs* Twilight, did long ago. I did not find the main character in Lena to be all Mary Sue-like or shallow. Ethan is actually a good male character because he stands up for Lena and helps her to become strong as sh ...more

I really enjoyed this book. It's very descriptive and a mixture of genres. 16 year old Ethan Wate lives in the small country town of Gaitlin where nothing ever changes. What he dosen't know that it's also home to dark secrets. He lost his mother and his father shuts him out. His house keeper Amma is the only one he trusts. He keeps on having dreams about a girl he's never met. Then he meets mysterious new girl Lena Duchannes who happens to be her and shares his dreams and they fall deeply in lov ...more

This was a good book, but a little too long and confusing and in-depth for my liking. I do like long books but this one had a little too much going on. The last 150 pages were really good though.
