Never dreaded any chapter, and that's pretty rare for me. I mostly just browse through a chapter of a book because it becomes boring or seem useless to me. Sphere on the other hand was very consistent, consistent with suspense. You never know what could happen next and there were a lot of twists in the story.

my favorite character from the book would have to be Ted, and up to now it still annoys me that he had to die. No problem with Harry and Beth though. Right from the start I knew Harry would make it till the end, but I expected Ted to make it and not Beth. It could be a manifestation of Crichton not being sexist, and giving importance to females. That's just my opinion though.

An easy recommendation for Sci-Fi fans, or even a normal reader who seeks suspense and thrill plus a very good plot that has been written very well. Crichton never fails to amaze me.

I read this about a month ago, and only now have I realized that this needs a better review from me. For a Crichton (or half a Crichton) novel, this really has a low rating. At first I couldn't understand why, because this really has to be one of my favorite novels.

After reading a lot of reviews, I realized that people were rating this book based on their past experience with Crichton's novels. I will be honest and say that this was my first novel of Crichton, so maybe that's the reason for my liking of it.

The problem with unfinished novels is that people tend to judge it even before opening the novel. This is not the first series I've encountered that people bash the book right away just because they've read the author's past novels and they criticize the writing of the one who finished the novel, or in some cases, helped writing (James Patterson).

Before reading this book all I knew about Michael Crichton was that he wrote Jurassic Park, and I've only seen the movie then. I haven't actually read the book so like I said, I wasn't expecting much from the novel. I didn't buy it because of the author, I bought it because the plot seemed interesting to me.

I'm aware that I'm not a hardcore Sci-Fi fan, but I'm starting to become one. I have to admit that Sci-Fi has to be one of my favorite genres now. For me this book contains a lot of realistic Science Fiction. Realistic in a way that if a person were to shrink, the problems faced by the characters in the book were very believable, and that for me was the reason why I loved this book in the first place. I felt like I was one of the characters, and their experiences during their "shrunk adventure" really caught my interest. In fact, I even ordered some more books about people shrinking (Sci-Fi of course).

All I can say is that if you are to read this book, and you've read a lot of Michael Crichton books, I recommend that you try and forget first some of Crichton's work and have an open-mind for this one. I'm sure its not going to be the best for you guys, it might not even make it to your favorites shelf, but I'm sure that one way or another you'd find this novel as a good read.

The ending makes you want to crave for more yet you know this is the last book. A lot of questions still running in my mind yet I don't get what all the fuss is about. People saying how "bad" and "rushed" the book was. People giving less than 3 stars just because they feel like it was rushed and the ending was not what they were expecting. You can't have happy endings all the time, Robinson Wells just showed us what reality is. I rated 5 stars because it was impossible to put down even after I've read past the acknowledgements, even then I was hoping for more.

Slow start yet perfect finish. Some questions left unanswered, but to sum it up the book is pretty much one of the best. Don't give up on the first few chapters, cause I almost did, but thankfully I didn't.

I expected the ending, the "kill someone really important to end a trilogy" kind of ending, but I was shocked that the author chose Tris to die, instead of Tobias. Tris for me felt more of the main character rather than Tobias, but how can I complain, I could easily say that the author indeed gave us a closure, yet the last few chapters were a let down. The death of Tris was not emphasized as it should have been, emphasized in a way that Tobias should've said more about it, Christina should've said more about it. It felt like the author rushed into giving Tobias a future rather than make him dwell on Tris' death. Despite the problems stated above though, the book deserves 5 stars, truly an epic ending to the trilogy. Indeed all questions were answered. Really hoping for more books coming from this author.

Seeing the title of the book, I was not even hesitant on whether to read the book or not. The title itself caught my attention. Although people say "Don't judge a book by its cover", I did with this one, and I surely didn't regret it.
Dan Brown's writing is clearly different from others, and I like it. This book has been my favourite, and it will forever be. The story's perfect, and so is the author's writing. An easy recommend to anyone.

I thought I wouldn't like this book for the sole reason that I was rather not drawn toward the book because of the title. "Natural Born Angel" was too far away from being good like "Immortal City", although the plot, once again, proved otherwise.
The book, at first, revolves around how Maddy's slowly becoming inhumane, and more angelic. She's been having her Flight lessons, and her fame's rapidly improving. The jealousy of Jackson is crystal clear, and the fact that Maddy left him in the end didn't shock me. Maddy met this pilot "Tom" because Susan, one of her professors, recommended him so that Maddy could learn how to fly faster, and she did. As their "classes" go on, Maddy soon realized that she had fallen for Tom, although she's still in love with Jacks...

I was honestly hoping that the Human-Angel war was going to push through, but something better came up. I was waiting for this to happen, and I knew it was going to sooner or later. The demons appeared, and it kind of shocked me that they targeted the humans, and not the angels. Most of the "Angel related books" out there today would be about Angel-Demon wars, but this book is different. It's about well, "The Book Of Angels" or also known as "The Bible".

Scott Speer probably wrote the BIGGEST cliffhanger of all time. He left the readers wondering, wishing, or violently hoping that Maddy would choose the guy that they want. Scott left US hanging between Tom, a pilot who's going to fight the Demons and could honestly not return, well, alive, and Jacks, renewed cause of his "metalic/robotic wings", who seems to be a completely different person. Although Maddy knows that she's not just choosing over two guys, she's also choosing between siding up with the humans, or the angels.

I cannot wait for the third book, although the second one was just recently released.. So I'm sure that I'll be waiting for a long time, possibly more that a year, for the next book to be released, considering the fact that there's no news about it as of right now.

I honestly give this book a 4.5, not a 5. (No option to make it 4.5) For the main reason that I do no t like Sylvester that much, and he had more than a few chapters just for himself. I know he plays a huge role in the plot, but I honestly find his story, unwanted. Although I could bear a few more chapters of him, for I'm sure his decision would be crucial to the plot, I would honestly want him gone. But once again, I could bear with him anyway.

At first I knew it wouldn't be good. Scott Speer had too much emphasis on most things. Other stuff could've been left unsaid. Although after reading a few chapters, I was drawn in to the book. I found myself addicted, not wanting to stop reading. Despite the slightly annoying writing style of the author, his storyline would make up for it.

Third and final book of the Infernal Devices Trilogy. I have to say that I was NOT excited to read the book considering the fact that I hated Clockwork Prince. It was too dragging, in fact I could call it the MOST dragging book I've ever read. However, I have a completely different story for Clockwork Princess. This book reached the point wherein I could call it one of my favorites. The ending was terrific, although it felt a bit like it was a cliffhanger, even though it is the last book. Cassandra Clare is a terrific author, she knows how to entice a person to continue reading the book with no breaks. If only I didn't need to eat and sleep, I would've read the book non-stop.

We were asked to read this for my senior year in high school, and all I can say is that it's a good thing I went to that high school because "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is an amazing book. I've heard numerous recommendations of this classic novel even before I started reading it for school, but still I was hesitant. I've never finished a book that was required for school.

This novel was shelved under horror, and I have to disagree in a way. There are a lot of books shelved under horror that shouldn't have been. I really didn't find this book scary at all, and there never was a time where I got scared while reading this.

Being shelved as horror aside, this novel was really great. It shows how one man can be poisoned by self desire. We were given around 4 months to read this, but it only took me around a week to finish this despite the numerous requirements bestowed upon a senior high school student. This is something I'd recommend to someone who doubts classic novels in general. I may be part of the minority, but I really loved this novel. This goes to show that even a "normal" teenager can love a classic novel if given the right genre.

Some of my friends loved this book but it just didn't work out for me. The way the writer wrote the novel was rather dull, for me. I finished the book, but it was just for the sake of finishing it. Never read the next book, but I do have it here. I read it a long time ago though, I might have a different review for the book if I were to read it now. If I run out of books to read, which is rather unlikely, then I might give Eldest a chance.
