I loved the series and cant wait to read it again
Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mark Twain
A subtle, simple novel. The pace is slow, but the story is never boring. The writing is superb and light, but there's so much intrigue and emotion under the surface elements of the novel. The novel deals with homosexuality and AIDS but never once did I feel like I was being preached to or overwhelmed by these hot-button issues. At the core, this novel is simply a story of love and family. On another note, the descriptions of the Irish seaside town and house are lovely; they made me nostalgic for Ireland.

Somewhere out there is the one that I came for, one who is strong enough to squeeze the breath out of living throats...Anna Dressed in Blood. Thesues Cassio 'Cas' Lowood is 17 and a ghost hunter like his father. He and his mother moved to Thunder Bay to eradicate, Anna Dressed in Blood, the local ghost who has killed many who dare enter her house. From the moment Cas steps into Thunder Bay, however, nothing goes as planned. This is the book I was hoping Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children would be: scary, chilling, and exciting. The characters are well-written and, for the most part, not cliched, the story is interesting, and the pace is pretty brisk. Our cast is led by Cas. I was really excited to read a novel from a male's point of view (so many YA novels are from a female's), but I was also nervous, seeing as the author is a female. Perhaps she writes her boys too feminine. Ha! Cas is truly a young man; he is arrogant at times, bold, daring, determined, and loving to his mother (this is a HUGE plus for me--I really hate it when books feature disposable parents). Sure, he also drove me bonkers (for someone supposedly so skilled at ghostbusting, he seems to do a real shoddy job of it most of the time), but I actually found that made him more realistic and relatable. Cas isn't perfect; he isn't a god to the female sector of his high school (in fact, he is rather callous to them and/or inept); he makes mistakes, underestimates his enemies, and misunderstands circumstances. And that is what makes a good character, in my book: a character whose actions you can understand and possibly relate to (also liking the character helps, but is not mandatory). Side characters were surprisingly vibrant. Carmel totally blew me away; I thought she would be a stereotypical vapid popular girl, but she was really smart, clever, and actually contributed to the mystery and end showdown. I also totally loved how Cas was not paired up with her. Thomas started out kinda cliched (nerdy/geeky psychic), but his friendship to Cas really elevated him out of Dorky Side-kick. Anna, the titular girl, was great. I really liked how the author chose not to give her a point of view; I thought seeing her through Cas' eyes was great and I don't think giving her a POV would have contributed anything to the story. I did think, however, how she became a ghost was goofy (including stereotypically EVUL step-parent and ridiculously and unexplained EVUL mother), but it was interesting how she wasn't a typical ghost. I think what really impressed me was the story. I like the idea of ghost hunting (so funny with all the Ghostbuster references too!), and I thought the idea of Cas hunting this eerie girl dressed in blood was cool. Also, don't know if you know, but there is this trend in YA to add a romance or a Romantic Triangle. I have great news for you: THERE IS NO ROMANTIC TRIANGLE AND ANY ROMANCE IS PURELY INCIDENTAL! Yes, DO NOT FAINT! It has been done, and I think quite well. However, in the middle, the story seemed to have forgotten where it was going. I would read several pages, but when I thought back to those pages, I would be like, "What was the point of the last 20 pages?" How Cas loses the athame was COMPLETELY stupid and could have been avoided. I felt there were two plots that could have been intertwined a bit better. Some of Anna's backstory was silly. There was even a point where I was about to give this book 3 stars: Cas was grating on me, the story seemed to have stopped, the writing seemed sloppy at times (consistency flies out the window, Cas has no problem dropping f-bombs and suddenly censors himself, etc.), and the characters seemed to be morons. Fortunately, at this point, the author pulls in a GREAT comeback, where something unexpected happens to the characters (and heck, even to me!). Honestly, I love it when characters come up with a plan, and it totally goes out the window. (I hate it when characters perfectly assess the future, come up with a plan, and the plan goes off without a hitch and without them having to think on the fly or show any of the "majr skilz" they supposedly have.) And the final showdown...well, I'm trying to keep this review spoiler-free! Let's just say: WOW! It's big, it's great, and it's SCARY! The baddie is someone who can actually do some damage and makes you wonder how the characters will come out. And don't worry about cliffhangers; there is a wee bit of one, but this book is definitely a stand-alone. My feelings about this book are almost 180 from how I felt about Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I thought this was a pretty scary book (though still not enough to keep me awake at nights, eyeing the door for intruders) with good characters and a good story. I am definitely keeping my eye open for book 2, and I heartily recommend this book for a good Halloween scare.

Pros : Fantastic writing, compelling characters, interesting premise. Cons: Could have been shorter; stereotypical bad guy; the ending. A misterious store opens in a litle smalltown called Castle Rock. Nobody really understands at first what the store does. Not until Brian Rusk, a small boy, enters it for the first time. Leland Gaunt is a misterious old man, the owner of the store. Leland tells the boy: " I sell used items, for a price not quite fixed. It also requires a litle deed"

I will finish it, but this book gives me an immense sense of gratitude for the knowledge of simple truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the good sense God gave me to recognize complete hooey when I read it. There were parts that were touching, but overall I don't think I would recommend this book.

The blurb about this book pretty much sets the stage to begin reading, and I'm not really one who likes to "spoil" a book for other readers who might come across this review. That and the fact that it is actually hard to separate the series into three seperate works makes it hard for me to organize my thoughts. The book sucked me in from the first sentence and kept me involved until the last, and ready to move right into the second book. I thought it highly imaginative, intense, emotional and original.

I liked it, but it was not The Unbearable Lightness of Being. (how could it be?) Still an interesting read.
1984 for young adults.

Words to live by. A great book for anyone who is passionate about what they believe in and is looking for a way to fight for those ideals.
