İlk başta beni emdi. Hikayesi ilginç ve hızlı bir şekilde ilerliyor. Acı tonundan keyif aldım. Ancak hikaye ilerledikçe kendimi yargılandım. Yazarı sevmeyi bıraktım ve etrafındaki insanlar için üzülmeye başladım. Ebeveynlik tavsiyesi vermeye başladığında, kendimi bitirmeye zorlamak zorunda kaldım. Kitap iyi yazılmış ve hikayesi eşsiz, ama bunu tavsiye edeceğimi söyleyemem.

Küçük bir toplumda çocukluk istismarı yaygınlığının ve sessiz kalmaya yönelik kabul edilmeyen anlaşmanın herkesi nasıl incittiğine dair çok iyi belgelenmiş bir açıklama. Çocuk refahı sisteminde çalışanlar için, özellikle yerli topluluklarda okumalar gerekmektedir. "Biz-onlar" zihniyeti gerçekten çocukları korumaya karşı çalışır.

I read this book before I tried to tackle Pratchett on his own merit, so I may have to retroactively skew this review based upon what I now know. The book is enjoyable, but may suffer from the fact that it represents its two authors at what seems to be their most basic states. There is no question as to the recognizability of both Gaiman's and Pratchett's respective styles here, but neither seems to add anything to the other. One of Gaiman's weaknesses is surely his general lack of humor. Anything that makes you laugh in his books isn't likely to qualify as a joke. While this could have been remedied by Pratchett's collaboration, his humor tends to be more groan-worthy than profound. It seemed to me that, by collaborating, both authors felt a need to simplify and de-personalize their respective styles, which for Gaiman meant an unfortunate loss of much of his dark charm, and for Pratchett that he was even more watered down than usual. I know a lot of people, especially fantasy fans, love this book, and I will admit that it is romp-y, easily digestible, and certainly doesn't betray the inclinations of either author. Unfortunately, it also doesn't surpass them or create anything new or interesting. The whole is less than the sum of its respective parts. However, certainly worth a read; if only to get a fix of Gaiman while waiting for him to actually finish his next book. UPDATE: After reading Gaiman's Anansi Boys, I have come to find that he can be quite uproariously and side-splittingly funny. I am now unsure just what part Pratchett played in Good Omens at all. My Fantasy Book Suggestions

I think about this book often.

Another series book number 1 that I went into thinking it'd just be a mindless read....wow was I wrong! This was a fun, dark, and flirtatious book that never once dragged on! I was done with it in 2 days. Of course I then had to immediately run to Barnes and Noble to get the rest of the series! Being 25 years old, I wasn't sure if I SHOULD be as addicted to it as I am- but in the end; fantasy and love is good for any age! I must say Cassandra Clare is an articulate and immensely witty author also! With her crazy-good ability to paint a picture in the reader's head and her unyielding sarcasm? There's no way I wasn't going to get into these books! Can't wait for the remaining books to come out....I need me some more Jace!
