    I first saw the cover on a random page, and decided to learn more about it. When I read that it was about an assassin, I immediately went to buy it. This book focuses on Celaena Sardothien, an assassin, and her participation in a competition almost to the death, similar to the Hunger Games. I loved the way the characters in this story are 3 dimensional. The aren´t completely good or completely evil (except the king), and they don't make me roll my eyes every three pages. The other books in the series are even better, following Celaena´s journey, and how she discovers herself. I seriously recommend this whole series.

    This book was the best fantasy story I've read in a while! Georgina (she prefers George), is twelve years old. George's little brother Daniel is lost, and after a several weeks of searching for him, George's parents drop her off at her Aunt and Uncle's house. Aunt Henrietta and Uncle Constantine are fun, kind, and thoughtful adults. George soon becomes close to these relatives, and she enjoys her stay with them. But then Uncle Constantine goes away on a business trip, and, when Uncle Constantine sends George a letter telling her that he needs help, George is puzzled. The not said to find the "eldest of the els". A few minutes later, Aunt Henrietta is kidnapped before George's eyes. With Aunt Henrietta's last piece of advice in mind, to go left, George does, and she finds two orphans, Caleb and Mikal. They join her in her mission to find uncle Constantine, and the group leaves at once. The group learn that a story Uncle Constantine told George was true, and that in order to save the world, they have to get 3 keys and and 3 objects from the world of Astria. They are given Cavendish, the talking map to aid them, and they become the Snaffleharp company. Their adventures take them to many different worlds, and lots of danger, enchantment, and nice monsters. If the snaffleharp company fails to locate the 3 objects, the world will end. Is this group of kids and a talking map ready to take on the pressure of saving the worlds? I loved this book so much! George is such a brave, thoughtful, smart, responsible girl. I think the message in this story is to always believe in yourself, even if other people doubt you. This book is a adventurous exciting story, and the Characters are always moving, and always learning something new. This is a book that both boys and girls with love! I hope you enjoy this book!

    I absolutely loved the book, especially the plot. George (her real name is Georgina, but she doesn't much like that name), goes to live with her Aunt Henrietta (Also known as Chicken, by her Uncle Constantine), and Uncle Constantine, when her parents go on a hunt to find her brother. On the first night that she's there, her Uncle Constantine tells her a story of a meteor shower that lasts for seven days, and the first time this happened, the seven smartest, wisest, and kindest people were put into a group known as the Council. Their job was to restore order between the worlds, to prevent more stars from falling, and the worlds from ending. There was the Judge, Timekeeper, Innocent, Engineer, Guide, Recorder, and Unlikely. The Council has since broken apart, but must be restored before the seventh night of the upcoming meteor shower, otherwise the worlds will drown under the weight of the stars. George, with her friends, Mikal and Caleb, along with a talking map, Cavendish, must restore order and retrieve George's kidnapped aunt, and her missing uncle, before it is too late. Will they be able to do it? Or will it prove to be too hard a burden for their strong, but small team? Read the book to find out!

    This was rather long for a children's book, which is neither a good thing or a bad thing, just different. The main reason for this was because the universe was so large and dense that it took a very long time to explain the world in general. However, because the universe was so massive, there are many opportunities for the rest of the series to be even better than the first. My favorite part of the book by far was the characters. George was strong willed but not overbearingly so, Caleb was sweet and mysterious at the same time, and Milak was tiny but sarcastic and witty. These conflicting personalities and backstories was what made me intrigued. I also enjoyed the different elements of mythology or magic throughout the story and those backstories also intrigued me. However, I wished that there was a little more resolution for some of the main issues of the book, such as George's little brother. He was mentioned countless times throughout the story, but there is no resolution for his discovery by the end of the book other than basic information. I do understand that this is a trilogy, and this plot line was most likely drawn out for an even better ending of the last book in the trilogy. This was an awesome book overall, and I would definitely recommend it!

    Just as the name suggests, the book "Enter a Glossy Web" was truly a well- thought out web of countless worlds and dimensions woven together. It really was a charming book and I could tell that the author was trying not to make it a cliche fantasy book- which was a relief because I'm really sick and tired of those Mary- Sues that save the world because it's their destiny. Meanwhile, George's journey was not because of fate, but because she was the only one to do it... which I thought was intriguing, yet brave on her part to pursue her adventure. But if there was a piece of construcitve criticism I had to add, it would be that the character building needed some work(backstory layers, more 3D), and they tended to act too mature for their age. I particularly liked that the worlds that the author spun together were whimsical, funny, mysterious, and alluded to mythology here and there. I especially enjoyed that the gateway between worlds was a mud puddle! Next time I walk up to a mud puddle, I will make sure to try it out and reach the travelling port for all worlds- just kidding. Overall, other than the character building, I really thought that this read was a spectacular children's book. I would recommend it to advanced 7-10 year old readers for growth of vocabulary and imagination.

    I personally like the Bad Kitty books ,but my brother really loves Bad Kitty books and they are the perfect age level for him to read. If I won I would give this book to him.

    This is yet another comical installment in the Bad Kitty Series. In this book, Bad Kitty’s cat license has been revoked! Not that he knew such a thing existed. Apparently, he has done too many un-catly deeds, and now he is suffering the consequences. The only way he can get it back is to take a test. If he gets one question correct he gets to be a cat again. But if he doesn’t...he loses his license for good, not to mention any dignity left. Once Bad Kitty arrives for his class, he notices something strange. Some of the test-takers look quite bizarre...and things get even more weird when Uncle Murray shows up for class. Is there something else going on? Is there a sinister plan plotted by chickens to get rid of cats? Maybe. You will have to read it to find out. This book was good, but I don’t think it lived up to some of the other Bad Kitty books. Some of the jokes weren’t that funny. This book is meant for younger kids. I would say anywhere between ages 5-8. It would be perfect for a beginning reader, who is looking for easy reads. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
