Rating: Summary: A very good piece of work, has many excellent turns of plot. Review: Wow! An exciting novel almost anybody could love. I definetly recommend any of the Austin series for all ages of reading. Great job Madeleine!
Rating: Summary: A wonderful book. Review: This book is one of my favorites. It's a complex story that grows and blooms throughout. This book made me laugh, cry, and most of all think, and I think that's important. It is very detailed and interesting. The characters are all very complex, much like real people. As I read this book I sometimes forgot that I wasn't there.I highly recommend this book for people of all ages.
Rating: Summary: Review of "A Ring of Endless Light" Review: I liked this book a lot especially after reading "Meet the Austins" and "Troubling a Star." I am a young reader, and I was able to understand Vikey Austin's views and concerns, being about her age.(A little younger, but that doesn't really matter!!) I love Dolphins a lot and I wish I could have took her place being out in the ocean interacting with the dolphins. I loved this book, and I would definitly recommend reading it. Also, "Meet the Austin's" is great, but I didn't like "Troubling a Star" as much.
Rating: Summary: This was a wonderful book, I loved it. Review: This book was absolutely great i loved all of the suspence and all of the metaphors
Rating: Summary: Beautiful, poignant, and memorable... Review: My words cannot describe this book. It is absolutely magnificent. I first read it in ninth grade. I couldn't put it down. Even now, over 2 years later, it's still my favorite book. L'Engle has written a treasure. Everytime I read it, I feel that I've learned something new and special. Every thought, every action in this book is mine. The ending was priceless and perfect...I cannot think of any other way Ms. L'Engle could have ended it. Do not bypass this book whether you are 12, 24, or 40. I guarantee that it will open your mind and warm your heart.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: This was either the first (or maybe second, after Wrinkle in Time) Madeleine L'Engle book that I read. And it is also one of my favorites. I've read it twice so far, because I had to go back and read it again after reading the other books about Vicky and the Austins. (Meet The Austins, Moon By Night and Young Unicorns) I will probably read this a couple more times too!This is a fantastic book in all aspects! Vicki's struggles to understand life and death, the story about Grandfather, (truly an amazing man!) etc. This book is also the one (along with another) that gave me the dream of someday swimming with dolphins. The whole dolphin part of the book was incredably interesting and delightful. I definatly reccomend this to any L'Engle fan who hasn't yet read it, and pretty much any teen, especially girls.
Rating: Summary: Best Book ever! Review: Once I started to read this book it grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. The amazing words and the web of confusion is perfect for a good book to read a time when you have a lot of open mind space. This book means many things. It shows you Vicky's feelings and how she is struggling between the three guys. It finally starts building to a climax at the end and you can almost predict the ending. This book is better then some of her other books. You are in the story with her and seeing all that she sees. Overall, best book ever!
Rating: Summary: What a book that is full of so much emotion! Review: I have never read a book like this before. A book that tells you about life and death, and teaches you that you should live the best out of your life. The deep emotions of Vicky, her friends and her family members have captured me. Although this is a young adult book, I recommend it to everybody no matter how old you are. You will definitely discover something that you have never read before.
Rating: Summary: INSPIRATIONAL and AMAZING! Review: This book has been my favorite book ever since I read it for the first time in 7th grade. It is a wonderful example of L'engle's ability (one that she shares with great authors such as C S Lewis) to write novels that can be read and appreciated by children and adults. Her message of the joy of life is one that can be understood by all. I thank her for the gift that she has given me, and encourage everyone to read this book, as well as all the other amazing books she has written.
Rating: Summary: It is about Vicky and her special summer. Review: A Ring of Endless Light A Ring of Endless Light is a breath taking book. I couldn't put it down. Other people might not think as highly of it as me, but I thought it to be wonderful. The Austin family is visiting their Grandfather at Seven-Bay-Island. Their Grandfather is dying of a rare cancer disease, and they don't know how to save him. One of their friends has just died and the question is..who will be the next to go? Let's meet the Austins, shall we? There is first, Mom and Dad. It's the mother's father that is dying and she's really upset. Then, Dad. He is a doctor, and he is trying to help Grandfather. For the kids you have John, the oldest. He's working on an ocean animal lab with Adam, a guy friend of Vicky's. Vicky is the older middle child. She has 3 guys running after her. Leo, the old boring one, Zack, the spontaneous dream, and Adam the very best of all. She is working on a very special experiment with him. Suzy is the younger of the middle children and last but not least is Rob the youngest. This book is about Vicky's life and what she goes through on this very special summer. It shows the changes she goes through, the things she learns, and the many obstacles she over comes. This is a wonderful book and it made me want to cry, its no wonder it got a Newberry Award.
