a-book-junkie (Grade: A–) An extremely enjoyable read - was well worth buying it from the US. I'm not waiting patiently for the next book to arrive through the letterbox.

Passmethatbook (Grade: A) Amazing, amazing, amazing! I love this book so much! I bought it, as I'd heard a fair bit about it, and thought it sounded okay. It blew my expectations out of the water. The only bit I didn't like was the ending, but as the second book is already out and looking to take up where the first left off, that's not so bad! =) I have a feeling that this is another author that I've fallen irrevocably in love with! Her way with words is amazing, and I wish I could write half as well as she does!
