Before you start this book, consider carefully whether you really need to read about vampires doing complex yoga poses by holding themselves up with one ear. I really wanted to like this book. I ended up quitting at about chapter 10. Unfortunately the author started off by giving a detailed family h...

For mere two bucks I rescued this book from a dusty shelf of a local Goodwill store, adopting it with high hopes. For free, I returned it to the same shelf a few weeks later with dejected feeling, sandwiching it between a rejected copy of 'Twilight' and a tattered paperback with a shirtless guy on t...

I wanted to like this a bunch more than I did (which, having read a bunch of reviews, I find is a common reaction). At times I felt I was drowning in boring, irrelevant detail! There were just too many long, dull, descriptive passages, which I suppose were trying to set tone or mood or something, bu...

I read this book for the first time in August after looking at it for about 12 months, debating whether to read. The first time I enjoyed it, the second - when I read it as part of the author-led real-time reading experience via Facebook, was even better. Diana is a witch in denial. She is the la...

I took an inordinate length of time to come round to reading ADOW. I had looked at the book a number of times but the description of the book just didn't quite do it for me. When I eventually did read it, I couldn't put it down. The story line is enveloping and draws you into the world of Dian...

I had been wanting to read this book for a while, and had it on my Wish List since last year. I finally managed to get it as an audio book, and loved it! Diana Bishop is a fantastic character! She is a historian, and a witch. I liked this character very much! She is extremely independent and feist...
