Sorry undead Crichton, this book wasn't one of your sci-fi so it didn't keep my interest too long. Maybe they'll uncover another one of your unfinished manuscripts, or your ghost writer will churn out another more to my taste.

Awwww, what an ADORABLE comic!!! Perfect for all ages! <3

I loved her last series, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I think Laini has really found her voice and writing style in this new series. She's definitely an artist with her descriptions and the way she builds her world through imagery. Her characters are once again unique and wonderful (and one of the main characters is a LIBRARIAN). I truly can't wait to see where this series goes. I just hope I haven't forgotten half of it by next year...

Okay, I had to read it, especially with the new movie coming out in a few months, but this book took me freaking FOREVER to read. I've read King before, but I don't remember him being so rambly about his characters. It seemed for every one main character we were introduced to (and there were plenty of those) you were also given a detailed backstory for everyone that main character has ever been involved with and their mother. Jeebus...
Scariest chapter was for sure the one with the ticks. UGH.

Bah, I'm wavering on 3.5-4 stars on this, but only because it took me a while to read this, but the book is not at fault. Distracting fanfiction, which doesn't count here on Goodreads, got in the way of things.

While this book wasn't scary enough to keep me awake at night (maybe if I had read it in one sitting rather than half hour lunch-break bursts) it would have immersed me some more, but it is a good read if you want something gruesome and ancient-evil, it-dwells-in-us-all, there-is-no-God, kind of scary. Oh, and some great illustrations, that's a bonus as well.

It seems the low reviews are true, it's not very scary and the people are more horrid than the witch lady.

OOOMMMMGGGGGG, I just seriously love this series SO FREAKING MUCH. This book did not disappoint. I was just a roller coaster of emotions with this one. ARGH! Also, could this possibly be the last book in the series?

It wasn't bad, not as scary as the first book, but a lot more philosophical than the last one. Is possession really just the Devil? Is it part of God's plan? Lots of questions like that. Also going on is a trial very similar to Trayvon Martin, in which the main character spends a lot of her time slowly obsessing over to try and keep her mind from the terrifying reality her own life is turning into. Wasn't expecting that. So not a scary scary book per-se but some delicate subjects handled pretty well for a teen book.

Woooo! What a great read for the Halloween season! And a very quick read too. Like Hugo Cabret, it draws you in and makes you feverishly read page after page with it's beautiful artwork and then intriguing story text to go along with it. Probably best for grades 5+, it is certainly creepy (towards the end) but deals with heavy stuff such as bullying and death.
