Alanna is a great book. It's about this girl named Alanna and her twin brother, Thom. Alanna has wanted to be knight for her whole life, and Thom wants to be a healer. But because Alanna is a girl, she has to be a healer, and because Thom is a...

Is no one bothered by the essential lack of values in this book? Getting what you want is more important than honesty or respect for others. The main character threatens others with horrible, supernatural punishment, tricks her father, lies...

The first two books in this series are a good read for 6-9 graders (advertised for these grades) but the 3rd and 4th series have some serious moral issues for this group. Alanna sleeps with three different guys in the last two books. I don't want...

I fell in love with Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series a few years ago. Having always been a science fiction and fantasy reader, this series caught my eye during one of those periods life deals us from time to time where one needs a complete...

I'm going to go out on a limb here. Let me get right to the point: This is a terrible book.

Harsh? Maybe, but that's how it is. About the time Artemis Fowl hit the market, I heard it claimed that Eoin Colfer was 14 when he wrote...

I first saw this on a shelf a couple years back and was intrigued by it but hadn't picked it up to read it until my 8 year old insisted that it was an awesome story and that I'd love it. So, with him continually asking how I liked it, I read...

This story is my favorite of Anne McCaffrey's works. It is also the first one I read. I read it long ago, and I re-read it the other day. It's nostalgic. Pern seems so real, maybe it is real, maybe Anne McCaffrey is able to see into another...

First off, fire lizards are cool. Smart, flying lizards are cool in general. They would also help with feral cat problems, I reckon.

This is the story of an outcast young musician girl, who loses her sponsor, ends up wandering,...

I, for one, was incredibly disappointed with this book. Let me start by saying that I love Fantasy novels, while I'm no nerd, they're fun to read. And not to mention the fact that this book was written when Paolini was just 15 is pretty cool,...

Paolini has a fabulous story in the Inheritance series, and Eragon is largely devoted to setting up questions that are to follow the reader through the later books. While Eragon does drag in a few places, I liked it well enough to read the later...

This was four great stories set in the Ender Universe.

One of them is the original short story of Ender's Game (before turned into a novel) that appeared in Analog Magazine. It is the same story as the novel only the stories of...

This is the most disturbed writer around today. He must be off his medications, because no sane person would believe the tripe he has written. Save you money. This is a pathetic excuse for fiction!

I have read the whole Ender series, and the Bean series, the Homecoming series and I'm starting on the Alvin Maker series- they are all great...but, this book...I was disappointed in. If I hadn't read the Ender series, I wouldn't have known...

Having just read The Giver by Lois Lowry, I can see why she won the prestigious Newbery Medal for this excellent tale about a futuristic, utopian(?) society, one which produces conditions of conformity, sameness and, as a result of strict...

I don't understand what's the big deal about this book. Having read tons of scifi, I expected more from a Newberry winner. What I got was a rehash of The Lottery, with the typical utopian society so immersed in its own sickness it can't see...

The reviews of The Giver are absolutely hilarious. People, this is a book marketed to young adults; don't let it kick you around. The author, Lois Lowry, expects the reader to make inferences at certain points throughout the novel. You are going...

This is one of my favorite trilogies so far. I loved Gemma's character and the love story between her and Kartik. At times the other characters, Felicity and Ann, were a little annoying but they are teenage girls in a boarding school. It's a...

After hearing tons and tons of praise for the Gemma Doyle Trilogy on Goodreads I thought that I would pick up the first one from the library. I have to say that I was pretty disappointed with the book as a whole and will not be picking up the...

I would've given the book a higher rating, but the beginning dragged for me. But, once I figured out what was going on I couldn't put it down. Gemma Doyle has grown up thinking she's ordinary until she goes to the Spence Academy and discovers...

I bought this series for my nephew, I read before I gave it to him, to make sure it was OK. I ended up drawn into the books so much that I purchased another set of this series for myself. I would recommend this series to anyone.

But it didn't. I even read the next 2 in the series, hoping things would look up. All in vain. The characters were flat, the plot was uninteresting, and Charlie was one of the dullest heros I've ever had the displeasure to encounter. Reading these...

I don't think I'd recommend this as a substitute or alternative to the Harry Potter books, but instead as a primer for some younger teens who aren't quite ready for Potter's world. Thematically is runs along a similar course: Boy who's lost his...

I have enjoyed this series so far, but this book was incomplete. The first three books were complete self-contained stories. This book setup the story, but then came to a cliffhanger ending. You need to buy the next book to read the complete...

As a Pratchett fan, I knew that it was only going to be a matter of time before I eventually picked up the Tiffany Aching books. I put it off for a while because I've heard both good & negative things about the books, most of the negative remarks...

This was certainly no Harry Potter. It was a cute little story, mind you, but I don't think it was as fabulous as the reviews lead you to believe.
I was very excited when I got it. I love fairy tales, and the idea that this one centered...
