Summary: Amazing
Review: This book was simply amazing. I found it at my library yesterday and I started reading it today and I simply couldn't put the book down. Liz Berry's writing had me hooked from the start. With the mention of the Aylward and Kenward history, I was taken away. This book is of amazing quality and everybody who has free time should definitely read it.

Review: "The China Garden" is a wonderful book! It seemed to mix genres, romance, mystery, fantasy; you simply cannot put it down once you'e started reading it! The story's main character, Clare, is very courageous in the decisions she makes throughout the story, and you almost feel a sense of pride for her in a few of the well-handled situations. I reccommend this book to anyone and everyone!

Summary: The Best Book In The World!!!!!!
Review: The China Garden is a book which from its description on the back of the book sounds interesting, but not great. It is the exact opposite of that. This book is a peice of twine. It is not complete until every little strand has been twisted together and you can't tell that on the back of a book. The exploration of Ravensmere, the people, and herself by Clare lets you see all of the strands and finally the twine. Ignore the back cover. Read this book no matter what and you will finish it with an awe of how good it is.

Summary: Be advised...
Review: I submitted my review of this book a few minutes ago, and just now realized I'd forgotten something I wanted to say. _The China Garden_ is a wonderful book, but the publishers gave it short shrift--I had to return my first copy to the bookstore because the first line of each page was cut off for some ten pages or so. So, if you buy this book, make sure to thumb through it so you can catch any page-cutting gaffes before you've dog-eared the book too much to return it.

Summary: A maze of secrets
Review: Recent high-school graduate Clare thinks she knows what her future holds--college, and her popular boyfriend whose callousness is clear to everyone but her. But when her mother announces she is moving to Ravensmere Manor to care for her ailing grandfather, in payment of a mysterious debt, Clare feels in her gut that she, too, must go there. Clare comes to find that her family is an ancient one, entrusted with a sacred duty and marred by generations of tragedy. She comes to fall in love with the manor, and plans to do anything in her power to save it from destruction. Along the way, she also learns she has the second sight, and falls in love with the stubborn and brooding Mark, who also has a part to play in the story of Ravensmere. _The China Garden_ unfolds slowly, as Clare learns the truth about her family's past and her own destiny, piece by piece. Suddenly, I realized I was hooked, and could not put the book down until the secret was revealed. This is an addictive fantasy--rooted in the earth-magic of Britain's standing stones and holy wells; full of secrets and mysteries; and surprisingly sexy too, as Clare and Mark fall in love. An enchanting novel of love, duty, and growing up. I recommend _The China Garden_ to anyone who enjoyed Alan Garner's _The Owl Service_ and Elizabeth Pope's _The Perilous Gard_. It isn't suitable for preteens, because of the couple of sexy scenes, but nothing in it will be shocking to a high-school student. Highly recommended to teens and adults.
