L Is this series worth reading? I just want to know I've heard that its not really the best series out there some people say its boring some people say it has too annoying charachters, while others say they absolutely loved it and that its their fav series ever, i know it was a pretty hyped book a while back, so people mustve really liked it, but whats your opinion. Just tell me should I try reading this series or not? It would be lovely if you could tell me why I should/shouldnt, so that i have more to go on, but you dont have to. No spoilers please


Tammy YES!!!!! This is a great series that should be read!!

Ms. Anderson I found it a little dull sometimes. But you can try it, if you want.


message 4: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Same. I want to know if I should read.


message 5: by Ang (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ang I liked it but I don't read a lot of paranormal stuff - I really liked the characters though. It's worth it.


Valentina Markasović I read it a few years back, and it was a fast and pretty enjoyable read, but it didn't interest me into reading a sequels


Christie My daughter and I loved the first 2 books. Really want to read the third one, just haven't had time but hoping to read it this smmer. I really like the characters


Dawyn.S. Hunter welll in the middle of reading this series my friend told me it was a waste of time....honestly it wasnt because i wouldnt have met such awesome characters sooo..i do think you shuld read it...warning though its not as awesome as others ive read..


Kaarah The book was quite brilliant in some parts and others were just hard to grasp what was going on. But all in all it is a great book so it is worth the read.
K.


Valentina Markasović Just realized I rated it one star. Honestly don't know why, it's probably because of my personal preferences (dislike of werewolves)
But if you're into supernatural stuff, you'll like it :)


chinami i did not like it.

Elle Jones No, very purple prose, not much story. Mostly conversations in cars. Multiple eye-roll inducing.


Monique I love fantasy and fiction book and this one was OK. I wouldn't call it amazing and compared to other YA fiction books out there it can get boring fast. However on its own it's not bad. If you have time on your hands I would say read it. If you don't have a lot of time to read you will end up feeling disappointed in choosing it.

Ida I didn't really enjoy this book much. It was a slow pace, though this doesn't necessarily need to be a bad thing but this time it was. I kind of felt nothing for the character and most of the time it felt like I had read this before.


chinami there is book 4 recently released.


message 16: by L (new)

L I dont think its book 4, it's a spinoff about the side characters or something, ive heard that people seem to like these characters more than the main, but no one seems to be very pleased with the new book


message 17: by Dide (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dide Definitely yes


message 18: by Kim (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kim Absolutely positively YES YES YES!!!!!
I love Grace, normally i find the female character a bit like in other books (a character i love) but it feels like this person is a lot like this other person in this other book and yada yada yada... but Grace was different and i liked it!!!


message 19: by Kim (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kim And I've read almost all of Maggie's books and i love all of them!:)


DustyTorus This is a weird one, it's different, which is a good thing. It's not action packed, it's more about people and relationships and life I guess.

It can be a bit slow, but I think that's the tone of the books :)

Give them a go.

Kim Howard I enjoyed the series. Felt much more believable than other stories in the genre. I love Maggie Stiefvater's writing so I may be biased. There is only one way to find out if you'll like it or not - try it. It's free from the library!


Maryclare Fawver Don't bother reading it. It was stupid and realy srange.


message 23: by Tammie (new)

Tammie if you secretly like reading cheesy unrealistic-love, paranormal series then you'll love it.
it's not necessarily the best book but it's a guilty pleasure to read :-)


Alindre I would say YES but maybe only the first book because it is awesome the other ones can be a little slow or Very good but for me the first book is totally worth it


message 25: by Kim (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kim Really!!!!
No way not for me i loved them all the way!(ok maybe not the second book)
But you cant love all of them!!!


message 26: by Fo (new) - rated it 5 stars

Fo Yes it is. It's very well written and the Shiver book was amazing and very cute!!


Rosie Yes!!! Its such an amazing book (and series). If you enjoy books about romance and werewolves. It's very well written, has an amazing plot and characters and is just AMAZING!. Plus the next book has just come out!! :)


Rachel It's cute. I like Shiver and Forever, but I wasn't fond of Linger. It's definitely not my favorite but it was pretty good.


Ioulia Yeap, you should read it!!!!


Amber Hetchler Yes. The romance is cute and the characters are awesome. It's definitely worth reading.


Annabell Yes u should read this its a book worth reading. ;)


Marisa Ferreira If you're into romance and werewolves, I think you should read it. I personally hated it but that's probably because I'm not really into supernatural books (and I thought the romance was too cheesy), but then again, it's personal taste.


Emily I really didn't like the parts when Sam mention stuff from the past that was so boring. I like werewolves but not in Shiver personally.


message 34: by Ria (new) - rated it 2 stars

Ria I'd say no, I read the first book, it was "okay" nothing really special about the storyline. I DNF a quarter way through the second book. Got so boring.

It's aptly called 3.5 when looking at the series in the library. It is not book four and is not even about the same characters, it's a spin off. From what I have read of the inside cover (SPOILER ALERT)--> its about another member of the back and his so called "mate"


message 36: by sam (new) - rated it 5 stars

sam I liked the first book, the others? Not so much.. Your call. Sorry I'm only so helpful.


message 37: by Alise (last edited Aug 10, 2014 07:32PM) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Alise I think that you should read it. It's really good, if you like romance. I didn't like it as much as i like other werewolf books, like Hemlockor City of Bones


Asura You should read it if you're into paranormal/werewolf/romance type stuff. Personally, I found the book irritating sometimes and annoying and I'm not very interested in continuing the series. But I suppose it was alright, for the most part.


message 39: by Bri (new) - rated it 1 star

Bri No... the character's are weird her parent's are jerk's and her boyfriend sniffs his own but not only that but it's boring


Aneesha YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!Read the series and Shiver and I am positive that you are going to LOVE IT!!!!


Chloe This series is really good!! I agree the comments saying that it drags on however, if you can get past those parts, it gets really good. So I read books like Hunger Games, Divergent, Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Wings Series and the like and I liked this series so that may help with your decision, or it may not, just thought I would put it out there just in case it helps. :) But all in all this book series is great and I recommend it for anyone who likes the werewolf/fantasy style and who isn't squeamish.


Crystal Hasemann The story line in this book has it's good & bad points. I would not recommend this book to anyone who keep to the mythology of werewolf's.


Deanna Yes, Maggie Stiefvater's writing is beautiful and imaginative.
