5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome book/Trilogy!
I was looking for something to get me through the long wait until HP book 7 will be published and...well, I came across this Trilogy and I am so glad I did! It is absolutely incredible....just like with HP, once you start to read you get pulled into a magical world, which you do not want to leave from! Too bad there are only 3 books in this trilogy! It's an absolute musthave for everybody who loves mystical books.

3-0 out of 5 stars Original vision, flawed plot
This feels like a book that the author started at the end and worked his way back to the beginning.He had an idea for how the book -- and the series as a whole -- should end, and then, working backwards, constructed a plot to make that end happen.The good aspect of the book is that it's a fine and meaningful end (although controversial); the negative aspect is that the journey to the end is full of awkward plot devices that rob the ending of some satisfaction.
4-0 out of 5 stars Superb ending to trilogy
An excellent ending to the trilogy. Fast-paced without sacrificing characterisation, and a satisfying end to the conundrum of Nathaniel. A great deal has been made of the character of Bartimaeus, the wise-cracking djinn; this volume maintains the level of his characterisation, and adds some affecting glimpses of his past with the eponymous Ptolemy. However, the chilly, complex Nathaniel, and his tentative, developing relationship with Kitty Jones the revolutionary, which tracks and depends on his tentative, developing relationship with his own conscience, is what gives the climax its poignancy. It adds an important dimension to the human protagonists' actions that, as Stroud occasionally reminds us, they are still only adolescents, cast into roles and situations that would tax full-fledged and experienced adults. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointing
As great as Piggie Pie was to read aloud in class, this book doesn't live up to it as a sequel. While the details are darling in illustrations and Gritch pulls a few snickers as she suffers a broken broom, the plot falls apart. She doesn't really resolve the problem, which makes it hard to use in the classroom as a great example of Beginning, Middle and End. Gritch is a great character, though, and I hope Palatini gives her more adventures!

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Bewitching!
This "sequel" to Piggie Pie is fantastic!It's one of those books you don't mind reading, out loud and in character, over and over, whether your grandchild has fallen asleep or not.
5-0 out of 5 stars Fun for both kids and adults!
This book was so fun to read.The story is about a cranky witch whose old broom goes kaput and how she tries to replace it.Adults will get a kick out of references to The Wizard of Oz and smarmy car salesmen.Kids will love the vivid illustrations and the hilarious language.The exchange between the salesman and the witch is a crack-up.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Magic Tree House Books 1-8
Excellent. It is so educational and my kids cannot wait to get into the car to listen to it.I loved it so much that I ordered books 9-24.It is a definite must have.

5-0 out of 5 stars We could hardly wait to get in the car to listen!
My 6 year old grandson and I both enjoyed listening to the different adventures that Jack and Annie had as they flew from story to story. My grandson's favorite was the tale of the Mummy. My favorite thing was seeing his enjoyment and having him not grumble at having to run errands with me. The stories also expanded his vocabulary as each new or difficult word was explained by Jack to Annie in a way a child could understand.

4-0 out of 5 stars Love the stories, dislike the organization of the CDs
The Magic Tree House stories are wonderful!My 5 year-old daughter loves listening to the stories at night.However, whomever made the decision to have a story multiple CDs surely didn't think about the listener.I've often wondered if it would be possible to burn separate CDs for each of the stories to make it easier for my daughter to hear a complete story without using a multi-disc CD changer.It's a pity that the CDs are packaged this way as otherwise it's a great package. ...

Editorial Review

For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to.Butnot for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle,and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's HarryPotter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.

4-0 out of 5 stars I like the book
I choose to read Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban this summer,as a summer reading book because I thought the movie was good. So , I decided to read the book and see what is different and the same. J.k. Rowling has a great nack for writing children's because i love the books she writes.What I don't like is that the book ends and doesn't say where Harry stays. Does he stay with his godparent or dr does he go back to his uncle & aunts house.Maybe he stays with his godparent or go's to his uncles or he stays in hogwarts. I would like to read the fourth book to find out.

4-0 out of 5 stars It was a great book
This summer i read the book Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. I thought the book was greta and so was the movie. In the book there is some parts that are the same in the movie and somethings that are in the book not in the movie.That is what i did not like about the book the parts should of been explain so you could understand it more. Overall i like reading Harry Potter books because they are very interesting and exciting to me.

4-0 out of 5 stars It is very funny !!! great book!!!
This is a plot for everyone because it is very entertaining. It is also very easy to understand. Once you start reading, you can hardly put the book down. There are also links to other episodes of the book that makes the reader want to read more. There are usages of magic, fantasy creatures, and competitive sports in the plot to create colorful variety to the audience. J.K. Rowling uses the purity of adolescence and interprets it in the form of courage, cooperation, and youthful innocence that showed the power to overcome many things.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not for HP Fans
I read somewhere that this book is good for Harry Potter fans. Well, no.
3-0 out of 5 stars Endymion Spring
It starts out as a great read, then falls flat....so disappointing! I was expecting it to be a great book like "Inkheart", but alas, it was not. "Chasing Vermeer" is better as is "The Wright 3".

5-0 out of 5 stars Indeed, the "fairest of them all"
Aza ins't just plain; she's plain ugly. In a land where song, grace, and beauty are prized, Aza's large stature (not just in heighth but also breadth) are deemed appalling and overshadow her amazing abilities in singing. Abandoned at the Featherbed Inn as a newborn, she is lovingly raised by her foster family. But their love can't oversome the low self-esteem Aza develops because of how other people treat her. When an unexpected chance to travel to court for a royal wedding comes, Aza is hesitant but goes to help her family. There, she is "befriended" by the new queen, Ivi, who is selfish and self-absorbed. Soon after the wedding, the king is severally injured and Ivi is claimed ruler in his place. Forcing Aza to use her unusual ability to project her voice for her own gains, the queen quickly becomes a dictator that threatens Aza's honor, her tenuous relationship with Prince Ijori (the king's nephew and heir), and the country in general. Can Aza overcome her own lack of self-assurance to save herself and her land?
5-0 out of 5 stars I was her Lark.

5-0 out of 5 stars delightful retelling of Snow White
As a newborn, Aza was left at the Featherbed Inn in the village of Amonta, Ayortha.Though a baby, she was singing, which brought her to the attention of the kind innkeepers Father and Mother, who raise her with love alongside their biological offspring.However, Aza is far from pretty so as to not disturb their customers; she remains hidden when the inn is open for business.

5-0 out of 5 stars Richie's Picks: AMERICAN BORN CHINESE
A surprising interweaving of Chinese myth and legend, prejudice and self-acceptance, and the coming of age of a first generation American-born boy of Chinese descent, make AMERICAN BORN CHINESE an exceptionally entertaining and thought-provoking graphic novel.
5-0 out of 5 stars National Book Award Nominee
This book was just nominated for the National Book Award.It is the first graphic novel EVER to be nominated.This is a testimony to Yang's gifts as an artist and especially as a storyteller.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Graphic Novel!
Three seemingly unconnected stories eventually intertwine in this masterful work about the loss and renewal of identity.Gene Yang deals with the issues of racism and identity with a graceful, seemingly effortless touch that results in an affirming, moving piece of art.Highly recommended. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Review from a Perfect Score
The book starts off at Harry's aunt and uncle's house. Harry goes back to Hogwarts for his second year at school. There is a new character and his name is "Dobby." He is a slave. He does not want Harry Potter to go to Hogwarts. Dobby made it so that Harry could not get on the train so Harry took a flying car. And Dobby made the Blunger in Quitage chase him and break his arm.

Great book, but did anyone notice that they left there trunks in the trunk of the car yet had them when they got to school...?
5-0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets
An absolutely enthralling book. The story can grasp the attention of 10 year olds and 30 year olds. A great story to read to your children before bedtime. J.K. Rowling is amazing, she brings back my memories of Ronald Dahl and other great writers of the past. If you dont have this book you should get it right now! There is no time to waste, a world of wizardy and magic lies ahead of you! ... Read more

After seeing the DVD's Ultimate Avengers and Ultimate Avengers 2, I decided to see the source material on which it was based on! I got to say that the original comics have the films (as good as they were) beat by a mile!
5-0 out of 5 stars A must for any ultimate title
This is a must for any Ultimate marvel fan. Seriously if your going to choose which title from the ultimate series to choose you should definetly get the Ultimates. In this hardcover it includes the first 13 issues of the ultimates. Personally I never liked the avengers but the ultimates them selves are more fun and entertaining to read, and seeing the hulk as a nut case is definetly worth it.

4-0 out of 5 stars Another Amazing Charlie Bone Book
It' about this boy named Charlie Bone and he has to find the Mirror of Amoret before The Shadow takes his mother away.What I liked the best about this book was that there was always a new surprise around the corner.What i disliked about the book was that the ending just left you hanging.It didn't really finish the way I thought it would, but it was still really exciting.

4-0 out of 5 stars Another good book
Not sure if this is the last book in the series or not. It ends abruptly. However, it was a good book to read, so 4 stars. I had Artemis Fowl, and 2 Charlie Bone books at the same time. I read all, but my kids dropped Charlie in favor of Artemis. Hence the 4 stars.
5-0 out of 5 stars Loved the Ending
This book is, as usual, Charlie Bone and his adventures. Unlike the other books, this one is not about keeping some child secret from the bloors but stoping a horrible creature from destroying the city: The Shadow from the Red King's painting. In his quest to stop the shadow, Charlie encounters magic mirrors, frozen relatives, disappearing animals, a witch disquised as a teacher, and many more. Want to know more? Read the book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Artemis Fowl
I myself am a huge fan of sci-fi fantasy. I like HP, Artemis Fowl, and others. So I'm not taking sides on HP vs. Artemis Fowl. I found this book enjoyable and a quick read. It was very different from what I expected, though. For instance, fairies are extremely technologically advanced. It's filled to the brim with excitement and adventure. Artemis captures LEP officer, Holly Short, and when she is freed, Artemis must escape the bio-bomb. I think that this is a good book for all ages.

3-0 out of 5 stars A little slow
After reading the Harry Potter series with my son, we decided to try this book. I was a little disappointed in the story and the pace.
5-0 out of 5 stars A fascinating tale
Artemis Fowl is an enthralling tale of a young boy, son of London underground criminal mastermind, trying to sustain his family fortune. By undergoing this quest, he must steal an ancient race's money: the fairies. He kidnaps one of LEP's greatest operatives, Holly Short, hostage. Can this young prodigy obtain his goal of the fairies gold?

3-0 out of 5 stars I'm of two minds on this one.
I am a big Inkling fan. I am the only one I know personally who has read Charles Williams. I have read the LOTR, Silmarillion, and other Tolkien works. I have read most of C. S. Lewis and paged through OHEL and Allegory of Love. I have read biographies of Tolkien and Williams and several biographies of Lewis. I was excited when I read about this book and immediately bought it. I haven't read "Young Adult" fiction for a long time so I'm not sure how this book measures up. The book is well paced and it has some interesting scenes. It steals creatively from Lewis, Tolkien and other fantasy writers. It reminds me most of a Williams novel, but Williams, confusing as he is, wrote far more interesting novels than this. Though, I admit I had a hard time putting this book down.
5-0 out of 5 stars Here There Be Dragons ... and a great story !
James A Owens' first book in the Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographics is a wonderful book. If you aren't one to normally read series books, give this one a chance. Mr. Owen has ingeniously layered history(WWI)with modern day myths(think the Loch Ness monster) fantasy(think Narnia and LotR) and even a bit of time travel(think ... well, just read the book).
5-0 out of 5 stars Soars to stratospheric heights
Here's some interesting news...this book has already been picked up by Warner Brothers, and Batman Begins screenwriter David Goyer and Harry Potter producer David Heyman will be the producers of this movie. Boy was that fast! There is good reason that Hollywood is interested in this, because it is a story filled with magic from the first to last page.

5-0 out of 5 stars PRETTIES
This book is just as exceptional as its predecessor, with thought-stirring ideas and perfectly placed plot twists to keep you reading until the last page is done. Now that Tally Youngblood is a pretty, she is living the high life with an avalanche of parties to attend; the hardest decision on her mind is what to wear to a costume party. Then a mysteriously familiar person gives her directions to a pouch containing something seemingly important. It takes all the wit her fuzzily pretty mind can manage to get it. When she does, she finds a letter written to herself from back when she was ugly. Along with it, she finds the cure described to her while with Maddy and David. In a last second decision, she and her newly-found boyfriend Zane split the pills. They both seem pretty much clear minded, even when Zane gets some headaches every few mornings. But when they escape to the New Smoke, Tally learns that something went terribly wrong. Another must-read with a cliff-hanger ending. Left me waiting in suspence for the final part in the trilogy.

4-0 out of 5 stars Pretties School Review
When a random boy comes up to Tally Youngblood and hands her a note, she thinks that he is crazy. Tally Youngblood is your average pretty, going to parties, getting drunk, and not thinking more ahead than the next form of entertainment. See, in Tally's town when you turn sixteen you receive an operation that turns you from an ugly(normal person) to a mindless pretty. While Tally was still an Ugly, she was at a rebel camp called New Smoke that had figured out the operation ad was trying to spread the word about brain lesions you develop after the pretty cosmetic surgery. Tally volunteered herself to try the pills that the New Smoke made to see if they got rid of the lesions, but after she became pretty, she forgot everything about her life as an ugly and the pills. So whenthe random boy comes up to Tally and gives her the note she wrote giving permission to take the pills, she is bewildered. With her boyfriend Zane, she goes to take the pills, but splits them with him so that they each get one. Slowly things start to become clearer and clearer to them, but Zane starts getting huge headaches and Special Circumstances Doctor Cable is on their trail to find out about the pills. Suddenly Shay, Tally's best friend, stops talking to Tally and is found cutting herself on the arm with a group of friends. When Zane's headaches get so bad that he can barely get out of bed, Tally plans a hot air balloon escape to find the New Smoke to cure him. When they reach the New Smoke doctor, she says that Zane took the pill that eats away the lesions and your brain, and Tally took the pill that gets rid of the things that eat away the lesions, so Zane has had things eating away at his brain for a month or two, and Tally has had nothing happen to her brain. On their way back, their hot air balloon is overtaken by Special Circumstances hoverboards flown by the Cutters, a new brand of Specials led by none other than Shay, who takes Tally to Doctor Cable where she too becomes a Cutter. This is a swift and exiting read that has a predictable but exiting plot and a futuristic setting.
