And so begins a new arc, which is done Sherlock Holmes style and the death of a main character (even though I don't believe it)?!

It seems I save up on reading these manga volumes until the Teen Read Challenge every year. So let the Kuroshitsuji binge begin! In this volume we see the end of the circus arc, a lot of dying, and a survivor swears for revenge on Ciel! Le gasp!

Wow, I think it's been at least 15 years since I've last read this book. Back then, I had no idea it was going to be part of a series, but I remember loving it. So, now that the series is finished, I am going to read them all! I can't wait! This book is even better than I remember it, and even 15 years later I'm still a big fan of dragons. This book is great for both boys and girls, juveniles, tweens and teens; fantasy fans and dragon lovers. Action! Suspense! Adventure! Lots of walking summarized very well so as to not be boring (I'm looking at YOU Robert Jordan and his successor)! And an ending you won't forget!

This was recommended by a friend, at true to her own review, it was a nice, innocent retelling of Snow White and Rose Red. The book is starting to sound a bit dated, but the character building stays strong. Sometimes their innocence got a bit on my nerves, but the pace was good and it really picked up towards the end! This is a great recommendation for teens with strict, religious parents, who want their teen to read something less violent than "Those Hunger Games". There is definite Christian references and the language is kept clean. The violence and drug references are part of the plot, but nothing over PG.

What a great graphic novel! I was reminded of Telgemeier's "Drama" graphic novel, but with so many more layers and done so very well. Layers in this story include: a home schooler switching to public high school, a silent ghost in a graveyard, an ancient, prosthetic hand, twins in a fight, and a volleyball team's falling out. There is so much packed into this great comic!

Wow! What a great end to a series I really loved. I really hope this series ropes in many teen readers into the sci-fi genre. I will certainly be recommending it!

This book starts out a bit slow, but definitely keep up with it, the ending will blow you away! Sure, there's plenty of loopholes in their whole cloning process, but it still is a great story. Yes, it is book one in an inevitable series, and the ending will make you shout because of a cliff hanger, but it was a great start to an interesting concept. Let's hope the next book delivers as well.

Cas is a punk-@$$, whiny, little, teenaged ghost buster. I hated his character. What kept me going throughout this book was Anna and Cas's friend Thomas, and I really was intrigued to see how it would end, but I could not stand the main character. He seemed to cuss for cussing's sake, and half the time his curses were used oddly. If he had said them to me, I would have laughed in his face, patted his head, and said, "Oh little emo ghost buster, you're not as tough as you wish you were," and gone on my way.

Don't worry, you'll be enraptured by this book too (which was introduced to me by my fellow teen librarians who gave it a Mock Printz Award). You'll voraciously read it wanting to know how it will all work out. The romance is great but not overbearing, and it's realistic. The fantasy-twist to the main character keeps it all very interesting and exciting. But remember, this is a "realistic" romance, even if the fact the main character switches to another person's body every day. Anyone watch anime? If you do, you know how the endings often suck. Yup. This book has an anime ending. To quote Hitomi after finally getting to be with Van: "I'll never forget you, even when I'm old!" Eff you, stupid endings. Eff you. But despite that, I still give this 5 stars. Totes read it.

This book started out... in a style I had to get used to. It kind of reminded me a bit of Terry Pratchett or Patricia C Wrede. It's a fantasy world, with kingdoms and (waning) magic, but there's cars, and airplanes taking over the jobs that magic used to take care of. But keep reading, it really is a wonderful little story. I thoroughly enjoyed it (plus there's talking dragons, that's always a plus)!
