Summary: An imaginative story well worth your time!
Review: Most readers look for a story the enthralls them, characters that relate to them, and overall, simply an enjoyable time. "City of Bones" has all that and more. Really, the book was more than I could ever have hoped for and I recommend it to anyone who wants a little more "reality" in their fantasy.

Summary: Exciting from the beginning through to the end!
Review: The story of a thief trying to survive in a city
where everyone sees him as a non-human with more
value dead than alive.An exciting story with great descriptions of
this new fantasy world.

Summary: Tired of Tolkien wanna-be's? Read this instead.
Review: There are no elves or dwarves here; no naive adolescent heroes who realize long after the reader does that _they_ are destined to fulfill some prophecy. Instead, Ms. Wells gives us a gritty, fully-textured world uniquely her own and a refreshingly intelligent pair of protagonists caught up in a plot that has NOT been done a hundred times over.In a household of readers that demand the very best in fantasy, City of Bones was passed from person-to-person and read cover-to-cover by all of us

Summary: If you've not read it, give it a try. Well worth it!
Review: This book is the pinnacle of original fantasy, in days overrun with Tolkein knock-offs. It has beautiful and full descriptions, a detailed and complete storyline, and my personal favorite: A sarcastic main character. Everything is done to perfection and anyone who complains about something like "too many capitals" never read the book like a true reader. This book is fantastic and by far the best fantasy I have ever read.

Summary: Very good stand-alone novel
Review: This book wins my praise foremost for keeping the story all in one print, while most fantasy authors feel a need to stretch the action on for book after book. Also, the setting differs from the same run-of-the-mill stuff we see in one fantasy epic after another - melodrama, while present, is an exception rather than the rule. The characters are interesting and well-developed, the prose and plot both solid and the entirety of the novel believable. This isn't a great work, but well worth reading and superior to most fantasy literature.

Summary: An amazing book!!
Review: What a great book. The first time I read it it blew my mind. I have re-read it many times since, and each time I find something new, or something I missed before. This is a truly great book, that hasn't been overdone.

Summary: If literature were a desert, books would be like this.
Review: _City of Bones_ is about a hunt for ancient artifacts in an arid post-apocalyptic world; but reading the book made me forget that this is a well-worked theme. The book is hard-packed with a persuasive plot, complicated characters, and a remarkable depth of detailed originality. And it is cunningly executed: the lush upper levels of the city hang in rumour over the narrative, and the ghastly lower tiers murmur beneath it, creating a very effective atmosphere of craving and dread. If a holocaust ever comes upon the world of fantasy fiction, the books that survive will be like this.
