Summary: Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad book!
Review: I found it lacking in everything! It delt with possibly interesting subjects in a pathetic manner and I was embarressed to read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was a good book with many funny parts in the story.
Review: The story is overall a great book to read, but if you expect 10 people to read the book, I will bet that not all of them would read it willingly. I read it, but I know that I would not finish it if it hadn't for a grade or a requirement in school. The story have become more interesting from chapter 9 and on, but the chapters before that seems like it would take forever to read through it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Briar Rose was worth the time read
Review: The story of Briar Rose was a excellent story that exlplained the Holocaust. What made it so interesting was how they used someone who really wanted to find out if her grandmother was really from a concentration camp. This book showed compelling, saddness and desturbing description. One thing that I found interesting was how they showed the simularity between the book Briar Rose and the tale of Sleepy Beauty.This book should be read and read because the more you read it the better you'll the story of the Holocaust.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The story was very interesting...
Review: The time our teacher told us about this book I was curious about it. How could Sleeping Beauty (Briar Rose) can somehow connect to a holocaust story? A fairy tale and a tragedy? When I started reading it, I thought the first few chapters were boring, but when it got to the part where the main character, Becca, have gotten to the place her grandmother's track seem to lay, the book became a page turner. The part where Joseph Potocki tells about the past was the best part. It's amazing how the author blended a tale and a horrible story together. It somehow made the story less horrible than it really is. And it gave it's reader a tale to remember...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book was good, but some parts were boring.
Review: Briar Rose is a very unique book . It has one story that talks about Becca trying to find her grandmrother's past and between those chapter is another story about Sleeping Beauty. This migth be weird but it goes very well with the story. This book has a very good plot, mystery,and suspence. Once you start reading,you'll never want to put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An outstanding book
Review: This book is very nice. Because this book is about mysteries and I like mystery storys. This book also has a very good setting, and it also has a good formation. But the heading is very confusing, at the first few chapter, I do not understand what is accually happening, so I feel like sleepy. But once I know what is going on, I started to like the book, and you may even say that I enjoyed the book. But since I'm confused at the beginning of the book, so I have to read it again to understand the whole book. So I think this book is pretty good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was a good book, but it needed more action.
Review: My review on this book is that becca is a woman trying to figure ot the life that her grandmother lived during the holocaust

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The most boring book I never read.
Review: I just don't like the book. To me it is just plain boring. First I thought the book was going to be allright because of the review on the back of the book but after a while I just just got bored of it. I know most people probably won't agree with me but to me it's true. The reason why the book "briar Rose" is because of such the big words she used in the book where if you want to know what it means you have to look the word up in the dictionary. If the book had a little bit of big words to make the the story interesting but not so much. Everybody else could say the book is fantastic or great but me, I'm saying that the book is too boring.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT COMBINATION
Review: Briar Rose is a wonderfull storie combining fairy tales, history, romance and even a touch of mistery. Jane Yolen puts a surprising twist on the storie we all grew up with, Sleeping Beauty. No one is to young or to old for this book, I recamend it to all ages.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL"
Review: Briar Rose is a marvelous story.It's filled with the mixture of fantasy, imagination,true love and more.When reading story of Briar Rose try to see how it relates with the story of SLEEPING BEAUTY,you will see how stranegly that they have alot in common. The way Jane Yolan wrote this book almost makes the characters seem real and alive. I would recommened this book to anyone who has an imagination and a heart for true love as well as an idea of what's really happening in the story.
