Summary: The Amazing Abarat
Comment: This was an AMAZING book. There is no other word that could possibly be used to describe it. I have (so far) read it 5 times (actualy I'm currently re-reading it, 5th time!) and I haven't gotten bored of it yet. I have fallen in love with the story of Candy Quackenbush and her adventures in the Abarat. The only part that I didn't like? The book is begging for a sequel. LUCKILY there will be one, at least that is the conclusion I derived from it's official website. (Its a good site- if youre at all passionate about the Abarat, check it out!) The illustrations are beautiful. ..., its fun to have pictures without losing quality in the writing. Though this book is simple enough for anyone to understand, even if you are reading at a college level, it casts you under its spell. Oh, I've thought of another bad part! Disney's making a movie, which I can practically guarentee will not live up to the potential. I am very disappointed in Clive Barker- this book inspired us to use our imaginations, and now, we will be told what to think about it from a half-baked movie from Disney. But thats just my opinion. Anyways, only more point about the magic of Abarat. Have you looked at the title, on the cover or front page of the book? Flip it over. Notice anything? This is a truly magical book- I guarentee you'll love it. And if you dont, sorry, but I think you have bad taste.

Summary: Oh Woe is me, oh woe is me, I used to have a Hamster Tree!!
Comment: This story is amazing! When I ordered this book, I wasn't exactly thrilled about it, it looked interesting enough, so I gave it a try. Boy was I surprised when I opened the book and found that it was filled with imaginative and colourful drawings, that helped me to no end while reading the story. There is so much imagination in this story and in its characters and settings that I think even I might have had a hard time understanding without the illustrations! Candy is a very likable heroine, and the jethrat Malingo, is my favourite character, although he isn't introduced until halfway through.
The ending is nice, and it is left with major strings untied, so it is obvious that this won't be the last book about Candy's adventures in the Abarat. This novel has depth, colour, and fun little rhymes speckled throughout and is amazing to no end. I highly suggest that you find yourself a copy and indulge in a good fantasy, and once you do, you'll be as impatient as I am waiting for Book 2 to come out!!!!

Summary: A Good Start
Comment: This was a good book with a discriptive story that takes you into another world. You really get to know the characters and their motives. I look forward to reading the continuation of this story.
