Summary: An OK Book
Review: This book was just OK. It started out great! "BEWARE THE SEVEN BLESSINGS!" That was awesome. However, as soon as you find out who the seven blessings are, the book goes downhill from there. I must admit that it's a well written book, but it only keeps you interested until you're three-quarters of the way through. I'd say it's worth reading once but not again.

Summary: This book ROCKS!
Review: This is such a great book; I'd recomend it to ANYONE (non-readers: read it anyways!). The plot, starting with dozens of seemingly random threads, weaves its way in and out of Sally's life. I normally don't like pure mystery books, and I despise books set in historical times (ex: Victorian England), but this book is at the top of my list of favorites. When the story first starts out, Sally leads a normal life; as normal as life can be for a 16-year-old girl living alone! But her life changes abrubtly: imagine never knowing your mother, imagine your father mysteriously dying in a shipwreck, and imagine uttering a few simple words with so much power, a man who hears dies of shock and fear! I cannot emphasize enough how appealing this book is. Please, please READ THIS BOOK! You'll be glad you did.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I'm ten years old. this is my first Sally Lockhart book, and all though I think that the Tiger in the well is better, I still think this book is great. The first chapter was a bit boring, but when I got through it I was absolutely hooked! A must-read for anyone!

Summary: LIMEHOUSE BLUES OVER ONE RED
Review: Sixteen-year-old Sally Lockhart, grieving her father's mysterious, shipboard death, becomes embroiled in the London underworld when she seeks information about his business and her inheritance. Raised in an unconventional manner--especially by Victorian standards--Sally is no shrinking violet, but neither is she a reckless, daring heroine. Just sincerely devoted to the memory of her honest and intelligent parent. Her confusion and curiosity launches echoes of evil in a vicious web of intrigue, avarice, murder and long-simmering hatred. Fortunately she makes stanch friends in her quest for Justice, but danger lurks in unexpected places for this quietly modest but determined young lady. Pullman weaves a page-turning yarn of deceit, obsession, and loyalty into a complex mystery--not over until the last sentence--as Sally unravels the threads of her cloaked past. We also experience the seamier side of 1870's London: the docks, a charnel house, an opium den, as Sally and Co. try to outfox the vicious old hag of Hangman's Wharf. Why is she Sally's self-declared most deadly enemy, like a Black Widow spider bent on one last meal? Sally finally realizes that her destiny must be to face her nemesis alone, to learn her identity. Sally's moral courage is tested to the limits, yet she insists on knowing the whole truth--however unsavory. An action-packed adventure/mystery for ages 12 and up. A great Gaslight Read!

Summary: This is one of the most enchanting books I've ever read
Review: This book was ssssooo good. Imagine a girl,living only with her father(no mother). Then picture her finding out that her father is dead, uncovering the truth about her past, falling in love, battling an old,evil hag, and making tons of new friends. Finally, imagine her screaming from a nightmare about the death of her father, that only happens when she smells opium and picture her standing with a ruby worth her life. You can only imagine these things if you read this extordinary book.
