Summary: This Book is Awesome.
Review: This is my 2nd favorite book in the series. 1st being Shattered Mirror, But this one is really good. I like Jessica who is mean and distrustful of everyone because of the way that she is treated, until Alex Remington (aka Aubery the Antagonist in Forest) came along. I love Aubery because he is dark, Mysterious and powerful. Jessica knows thta Alex looks like Aubery but refuses to accept the fact that it may be true. Meanwhile Aubery becomes more and more facinated by her and in the end falls for her. I gave away alot more than I usually Do so I hope you read the book and enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: writing improved, interest dropped
Review: i admit her writing has improved, but i wasn't interested in Jessica's problems at all. she seemed very cynical and always whined. plus, aar had stereotyped the typical loner, as cold hearted and feeling hatred against the world. aubrey sounded like a jock, while fala seemed to be the only character i was interested in. i give her one star for writing it and another for being published so young -- in the end that's the only reason she's being praised. her writing level is below average, i have seen better. this is pitiful and it's sad to see so many young writers look up to her.

Summary: Getting Better
Review: It's so-so, except for the fact she sounded too cliched in the novel. The mood reminded me of a terrible Dawson's Creek episode. And the characters acted like three year olds when they should be acting their actual age, being hundreds of years old. The writer obviously didn't think this one through.

Summary: TOO: short.... inexperience.... no effort
Review: I've read better material by preschoolers. How superficial is Amelia? Every character is good looking and her writing experience ...terriblyWhere do all these good reviews come from? Gosh, if she didn't give out her age critics and fans would be bashing her with bad reviews, as someone said in one of the reviews. I agree, her work is terribly written.

Summary: Never Have I Read a Young Adult Book So Quickly!
Review: This book took me an hour to read -- one hour! Besides that it was terribly written for someone he age for that fact. It was too shallow and she couldn't go on a page without the pathetic sarcasm. Jessica sounds like a baby and Aubrey sounds like a teen who just reached puberty. It was just another sad love story with the fantasy of Amelia herself. I wouldn't suggest this, or unless you are a teen who will read anything. It was just like reading a subcription of Vogue and I hate Vogue.

Summary: Over publicized with below average writing skill....
Review: After hearing all the great reviews upon this novel I decided to give it a try. I admit I was disappointed from the moment I picked the novel up, it seemed to be kind of thin, meaning: TOO SHORT. But looking over that I decided the book must be really that good looking past the length. Well, it took me less then two hours to read and by the end I was wondering if I picked the wrong book up. This couldn't be the book written by the praised teen. Overall, it was below average, mainly: D. It had no depth at all. Who is Jessica and Aubrey, you know very little about them, even after reading In the Forest of the Night this morning I still had no idea who Aubrey was. Though I admired the creative and poetic style the book seemed like she rushed and didn't edit that often. There were tons of plot holes and there wasn't a conclusion except for Jessica's transformation into a night creature. Why don't they just kill Fala? If I were Aubrey I would had snapped her neck at instant. Amelia has a lot of work to do, being three stars is average I ive her two. One for effort and two for style, other then that it lacked everythin a novel is made of. Would I recommend it? If you're an inspirational writer, yes, so you can analyze the mistakes a teen writer would make with much inexperience. It helps not to make the same mistake twice. It's like addictive pop music, anyone who likes quick action with sarcasm that matches an annoying teen drama will devour this novel. I hate pop music and I hate sarcasm to the point it irritates you, so I wouldn't read this novel again. But the writer truly has potential. The skill of writing can be learned, therefore she needs to practice more before she tries any other stuff. I am sad that she allows herself to be publicized like that, as the next Anne Rice. If I were her I wouldn't had given out my age, instead wait and see if I could succeed under alias. Anyway 2 stars, maybe more if her writing does improve.

Summary: Not Worth the Money
Review: After hearing the praise about this young woman I was impressed, by her success--not novel. Actually, the novel disgusted me horribly, this is the great writer? She displayed unoriginality and poor writing skills, writing is a skill, not a talent, therefore she needs to study writing more. The main character Jessica seemed too cocky and confident for the average teen. She has a body to die for, big deal and she has no friends, should I feel sorry for her? Someone who acts as immature as Jessica wouldn't have friends. Aubrey on the other hand just annoyed me, he didn't even bother to kill her at all. The plot was shallow and thin, by the end of the book I had no idea who these characters were. One minute Jessica is rude and mean and when Aubrey pops in she is Miss Mary Sunshine. The only character I could relate to was Caryn, I'm not even nowhere near the character in that perpective. Amelia is obviously being exploited for her age and not her skill, another reason why I am disgusted by RH. For those who assume she is the best writer since Anne Rice I suggest you look up more vampire writers because she is not the best since Miss Anne Rice. This is the perfect way to brainwash young teens thinking they know the difference between skill and an amatuer.

Summary: Phenomenal...absolutely breath-taking!f
Review: This is the first of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes books that I've read...and I just read it last night (11/20/02)...I couldn't put it down! It draws you and keeps you on the edge of your seat...and teases you wildly! I can't wait to her other books if they're as good as this one!

Summary: Demon in My view
Review: I enjoyed this very much. I found that the author really was into a teenager's point of view. She in many ways explained to her audience that this is how it is in high school and what kids go through with a little imagination to it. I would recommend this book to any one for its intensity, creativity and realism. Read this book.
