Sounds like a fantastic read. It seems to be right up my alley these days. You did a great job with the review and making others want to read it.

Wow. An interesting read, from what was given in the sample. As a huge sci-fi fan it intrigued. A bit bogged down in the descriptive beginning phase... yet it definately started to make up for that once the storyline kicked in. Seems like a worthy read!

It sounds like a fascinating story with an interesting plot. I am curious about the shadow people and am going to have to read this book. Too bad about the errors, though. Great job on the review!

Great review Rachaelamb1. The shadow people thing doesn't sound all that interesting to me, but I like the idea of this shadow baby with these unusually bright eyes and how its identity will have to be kept a secret. It sounds like it could be interesting and a bit of a page turner.

I really appreciate your review that includes content and age appropriateness ! Your description shows enjoyment of the book and why; the tempo and rhythm of the book, with enough details to denote the happenings without telling all the secrets. Your honesty in not liking the ending makes one curious - what happened? - because you can 'feel' that otherwise you enjoyed the book. Thank you for such a lively review!
