The China Garden

Rating:
Summary: Whimsical and Interesting...
Review: I found this book extremely interesting. The plot is complicated and keeps the reader on her toes throughout the entire book. A slow-to-reveal-itself story line suprisingly unfolds at a perfectly intriguing pace that suits the book well. Although it contains a few somewhat mature scenes, you can see from the beginning it is meant for young teenage girls. More of a fantasy love story than a reality, it is definately for the romantisist who likes to curl up with a good book on a rainy day. I gave this book a 5 because of the sweet innocence it portrays of a young girl discovering not only her Destiny, but her strength and courage.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This was one of the best books I've ever read! The plot was ACTUALLY suspensful and SO interesting (some of the history kind of droned on, but that didn't really matter). This book is a MUST READ for everyone! I read it in 8th grade and it stuck w/ me so much that I had to track it down and read it again. It was very well written and the characters were really lovable and easy to bond to, I wish there was a sequel!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!
Review: This book is the best book I have ever read! I read the whold thing in two or three days, along with going to school and doing all of the choors in my house. I couldn't put the book down. I would get close to finishing the book and would read the end of the chapter and keep on reading. I loved it so much. It was good because it is an original idea. All of the other books you read are the same basic love story. This book was very good and suspenceful. When I finished I was in awe. It was so good. I will get this book with out a doubt. I had odered it through a library and it was due back a week from when I finished it. I had to hurry because it was due back soon. I just kept reading and never put it down until I had to eat or have school. I would definatly get this book if I were you. Any girl would love this book. It was perfect!

Summary: A MUST READ!!
Review: The China Garden is a really great book! I found it really hard to put down once the story got going. Ok, I admit it was a little slow a the begining, but once Clare moves the the old English estate called Ravensmere, it was really exciting. I liked the character named Mark a lot, because he seemed so rough and wild at first, but once Clare got to know him better, he was really nice inside. Also, the whole story about the Guardians and Ravensmere treasure (the Benison) was so interesting. I could picture Ravensmere really well because of all the realistic descriptions of the different locations around the property. I would reccomend this all my friends and i really encourage you to read it

Summary: a very interesting read
Review: i'm not giving it 5 stars b/c..i dunno..i was dissatisfied. don't get me wrong. it was great...why do u think i gave it 4 stars? it was really good..there was alotta Mark but i would've preferred more, being my greedy self..i found myself awaiting his arrival in the book. well, that's my reason for the missing star. won't offer a summary..read it yourself if u haven't already. ...on a final note, i wish so very much that such a tale exists in our reality..not necessarily the romantic aspects, but for the sake of our beloved earth, the fantastic prospects of--oops, i mustn't let the cat out of the bag & spoil it for those who haven't read/finished it yet. anyhoo, our beautiful planet's slowly rotting away b/c of us..if only there really is such a tool..well, if Earth Guardians like "them" actually exist & are reading this, i'd like to say: please don't let hope die. t/y.

Review: Do you like books that not only have love but have a fabulous plot too? I do. The story starts out when Clare goes with her mother to her mother's home town, Ravensmere. Clare feels that she knows many people and that they know a secret about her. She meets the man of her dreams, Mark, a troublesome biker, but Clare falls in love with him anyway. Suddenly Clare finds out that her past, future, and present is linked with Ravensmere. Mark's is too. But if Mark decides to leave Ravensmere, he'll die. Will Clare risk her life to save Mark from his doom? Read this book and find out!
