Summary: I do not like reading !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I do not make time to read and I do not like reading! This is truely the best book I have ever read. I could never put it down. It is truly amazing. I related to the characters, and it was totally different then anything I ever read. Proubly beacause the langauge she used, and the way she used it. She would get right to the point. Never go on and on about anything just moved on. The caption on the back is what caught me the most it is what made me read the book:
There is a place that shouldn't Exsist.
But Does.
And there are creatures that shouldn't Exsist.
But Do.
Welcome to a Land Where All of Your
Dreams and Nightmares are Very Real -
And Often Deadly.
Welcome to EVERWORLD.

Summary: Awesome series!
Review: I absolutely love these books! I highly recommend them to anyone who likes horror,fantasy, and science fiction. Alot of people recommend these books to older kids and i agree to! Im 13 and love this series but blood and gore dont bother me! But to warn you, if you read the first book you WILL get hooked and you will never want to put them down! You'll probably find yourself at the bookstore everyday buying the next book! im in junior high and i get yelled at alot for reading the books in school during class. thats how addicted you get to this series. its a really easy book to read and K.A. Applegate wrote the scenes and backround so well it feels like you yourself is standing there holding a sword fighting with the aztecs with the characters! its very visual! so if what i wrote convinced you to buy or even take them out of the library than great! but if not you are truly missing out on an excellent series!! :-)

Summary: Everworld:Search for Senna
Review: This book takes place in another universe called Everworld. In this place the main characters Senna, Christopher, Jalil, April, and David have many strange adventures and make many friends, as well as enemies. The moral of the story is that you can't do everything yourself and sometimes your friends are your best resource. This is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. When I started reading this book it made me want to read the rest of the series. I would recomend this book to people 12 and up.

Summary: Applegate's Best
Review: This is the series that lets K.A. Applegate shine. In this series, 4 teens get caught up in a whole other world where mythology and legends become reality. Gods from all cultures have moved to an alternate universe, known as Everworld, but have been invaded. Alien gods have invaded Everworld and one, Ka Anor, is known for eating other gods and immortals. Loki, a god of Everworld, has snagged a girl named Senna from our world who is the gateway between our world and Everworld. But in her wake, Jalil, April, David, and Christopher, four normal high school kids, all with a connection to Senna, have been dragged to Everworld, not knowing how to get out. This is by far, Applegate's best series and has a new surprise with every chapter. This is not just for teens, however, it can also be enjoyed by adults.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: K.A. Appleegate has really out-done herself. I am a very avid reader and I have never been so impressed by a writer's detail, words, and the book over all. In this book four friends (David, Jalil, Christopher, and April) are sucked into a world (Everworld) after a fifth girl. As they find out the fifth girl (Senna) is a witch. In this world when they first arrive, they are hung by iron shackles on the side of a catle wall. This castle as they soon after find out, belongs to a king like figure named Loki, who has a bus-sized wolf for a son. Soon after the four friends escape. Only to be taken into a Viking community as minstrels (or entertainers). They stay with the Vikings for a short while and then go off into battle with the Vikings against the Aztecs. This is a great book! I highly recommend reading these books! I would recommend any of K.A. Applegate's books to anyone who likes books with magic, battle, and a very interesting plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Summary: A great start to the incredible series, but be cautioned
Review: I have read a few of these reviews and knew I had to add my thoughts. Many people are reviewing Search for Senna based only on reading this one novel in a series of twelve. I am now half way through the series, and thoroughly enjoy it. BUT IT IS NOT FOR CHILDREN! I am 17, so I expected it to be a bit juvenile for me, and the first book surprised me with its plot based on high school students. The first book is rather benign as far as offensive language and themes, but be warned: as action and tension rises, so does the language and graphic nature. The following novels get more and more objectionable. Now I love the series, but I am in high school. I would recommend it only for high school or older age readers. And for them I highly recommend it! It is wonderful, but the themes are too much for younger people really. I mean, unless their parents are comfortable with it, but I am sure some would object. So please, parents, be careful before giving Everworld to young children. The first book is ok, but it will get worse, and the books are all cliffhangers so readers will want to keep reading.I hope I have given a little guidance with this review:)

Summary: Not just for Jr. High
Review: When I first saw Everworld was written by Applegate, I almost didn't by it for the fact that she was the same author who wrote the Animorphs, a seriers which my little sister reads. I was afraid Everworld was going to be geared twords a middle school audience. I'm 16, a sophmore in high school, and read adult fanticy and science fiction, but I'm here to say I absolutly fell in love with the Everworld series. Applegate goes well indepth with her caracters, and her words paint a picture so vivid one feels as though they are right along with the characters fighting trolls or entertaining Vikings. I have noticed many younger readers complain about Applegate's use of language, but I for one though am quite thankful she doesn't shy away from adult subjects. The cursing she uses isn't excessive and is done tastfully adding reality and humor to the dialogue. I can understand though how younger readers may be ofended. A warning though- when I bought the first couple of books I had no idia it would be a series of twelve. I now own all but the last, for each book is as good or more wonderful than the last. Don't read this first one though if you don't plan on reading the others because from the very begining you will be hooked! And do read them inorder. Each book will make so much more sence if you do. My only wish is that the actual books were longer. This series truly is unique, complex, suspensful, and just plan fun to read! Don't shy away from it just because you're an adult or in high school:)

Summary: The start of a brilliant series...
Review: Being the new kid at school is hard, especially when you don't fit in. But all David's problems seem to fade the moment he meets Senna. She was beautiful and different and nothing else in his life seemed to matter any more. How was David to know that when Senna disappeared, swallowed by the Earth, he would be forced to follow and bring her back? That's how he ended up in Everworld. A place that shouldn't exist, where nightmares are real and creatures of myth and legend roam freely. Now David, April, Jalil and Christopher are trapped between worlds. And they have no idea how to get home... "Search For Senna" is the first book in KA Applegate's Everworld series. Before I began reading, I had expected something a lot more like Animorphs, but this series is completely different. The characters are older, the plot is darker, more complicated and the book is definitely targeted at a more grown-up audience. Some people complain about the number of swear words in these books: it doesn't bother me. The amount isn't excessive and the language is used realistically and effectively. The books are written for a teenage audience and subsequently contain more adult material. The Everworld books are incredibly imaginative and are an example of some of the best young adult fantasy around. The descriptions are vivid, the action non-stop and the author paints a clear picture of Everworld that draws you in from the first moment. These books are fast-paced and will keep the reader hooked throughout. The characters are well drawn and realistic and even though I don't really find them very likeable at this stage, their personalities may change over the course of the series. After reading this I will definitely be buying the remaining eleven books in the series. I recommend "Search for Senna" to teens who like fantasy and to the older Animorph fans. ~**Jenna**~
