Interesting concept but written in a stilted way.

I'm amazed that I even picked this up, as I'm not an aficionada of fantasy. However, had I not, I would have missed out on one of the most entrancing, captivating, heart-achingly stirring books I've ever read. It sweetly conjures the nostalgia of childhood, while interlacing an engrossing mystery to chew on. There is something for everybody here, and it was a real treasure.

Oh my gosh. This is one of my all-time least favorite books. I've kept it because it would have been a waste of money to buy it again had my kids been required to read it in school. Now I find myself hanging on to it for the same reason as my granddaughter may need it someday. Hermy loved his airtime, and gave us all he had, sacrificing the story in the process. A whale of a waste of time, in my opinion.

I don't know. Having lived through the hype of Jonathan Livingston Seagull (yep, that's a real book), I kind of felt the same about this.

It felt a little meandering. Not my favorite of his books.

Fun and doesn't take itself seriously, but somehow lacked the grip of Horror Show for me.

While the first story in this two-parter is fine, the second is lacking. Go home, Seymour. We've been introduced, and don't want to see more of you.

So interesting! I loved this trek into the old-timey Nordic world, and was completely captivated.

In this book, Sue delivers up an interesting and warm (if unlikely) story about a girl searching for her place in the south, in 1964. It's definitely an easy read, but I did feel a bit smacked in the face with the girl-power message.

John is so deft at styling stories uniquely, and this is no different. Not my favorite of his books, but enjoyable and moving, for sure.

Not my usual genre but I loved it. Give it a try.

This story about a boy and his fawn is richly layered and stands the test of time.
