It is really difficult to write a review for this book because there was so much going on, so many events it's hard to really focus on one aspect.What I will say is that this book is an instant classic for me, and I've already recommended to people. You can tell that so much thought, effort, and har...
The book certainly kept my interest, but it was way too dramatic and Fiona was such a perfect character. She's beautiful, strong, feisty, has great ideas that seem to be too good and work out too well, and everyone falls in love with her. She's likable enough, I guess, but I was just rolling my eyes...

It's like a cliche 90's chick flick, which felt frustrating and contrived.The writing is top notch and you can easily fall into the story, not realizing how much time has passed....
I can't believe how much I love Jennifer Donnelly's writing. I thought her young adult books were excellent, but this book is phenomenal! You can't help but fall in love with the characters except for the jackass, Joe! I can't wait to continue on with this series...It is just fun!ETA(3/10/11): I fin...
