Summary: THIS TRILOGY WAS TOTALLY ROCKIN!!!!!!!
Review: The Forbidden Game is the best set of books I have ever read. (And the Night World rulz too! Please read my review of Daughter of Darkness and e-mail me if u like it) It is wonderfully written and draws you straight into it so you can feel the emotions of all the charcters. I had always loved the Night World. I remember one day looking at the back page and thinking about all the times I had seen an advertisment for the books. Since my bookstore didn't carry it, I had to order it. I recieved the large book complete w/ all 3 stories. From the opening page I was unable to put it down untill the end. Throughout the book I found myself falling in love w/ Julian. (Just like Ash in Daughters of Darkness) Julian was a cocky, smart mouthed trouble maker, but like a hurt child underneath it all. A hurt child that could strike out w/ lethal accuracy. Handsome and slick as a cobra, he lived a life full of excitment, and sadly, etched w/ pain. He was amazing and loveable despite his hard exterior through most of the book. The chacacters were great and well formed. Jenny is a strong herione and that makes the book great. Dee was a great charatcter w/ her goddess looks and strong mind. In real life she would go far. Audrey was of course was the fashion diva, but it went deeper that that. She was a young lost women w/ a heart of gold. Micheal was a wonderful character. Cuddly like a teddy bear and completly lovable. Audrey has good taste. Zach sounded like a wonderful artist and a terrific abstract thinker. A brain as fast as a whip and a heart that was warm underneath all his protective ice. Summer was the sweet flower, and the poor child was small but had a heart w/ the determintaion of a little lion just learning to be brave. And of course how could we forget Tom. The arrogant Tom Locke who was taught a very important lesson. You never no what you have untill you lose it. I have to say my favorite part is in the last book, in the cavern after Jenny almost drowns. How she resisted Julian then, I will never know. It was the most amazing transformation of Julian throughout the entire book. I could see his haunted eyes in the firelight as I read that part over and over again. This was also the first AND ONLY book to ever make me cry. The end was very sad, and as I look back, I see it was enevitable. Like Jenny said, Julian was too dangerous to live. But he was a spirit of fire that would live on forever, even after death. I laughed, I cried, I was amazed. The Forbidden Game are the best series I have ever read. Each time I read it, it's like the first time. An emotional rollercoaster all over again. A true masterpeice. My best regards and wishes to L.J. Smith for the excellent series.

Summary: This book rules, Julian captured my heart!
Review: Julian, in my eyes, is the perfect guy. I didn't like him at first, until his sensitive side was shown. He's gorgeous on top of all of that. Tom seems to be a big, football playing, over-protective dork!!! If only Jenny had though twice and carved Julian's name back into the runestave and forgotten about Tommy. This book was excellent. It was the first L.J. Smith book that I have ever read and I loved it. After reading that I was immediatly hooked on L.J. Smith. I've read six of the Night World books and the 1st,2nd, and 4th of the Vampire Diaries. I LOVE L.J. SMITH!! I can't wait till she writes the continuation to The Forbidden game.END

Summary: The Forbidden Game
Review: I have never been so attracted to someone that i have never met and is completely fictional!! The way L J Smith describes Julian is incredible, no body could resist him. I originally read these books when i was 15 and i'm 24 and still reading them. I have recommended these books to everyone i know. Point Horror's illustration of Julian is so much better than this book cover i agree it does not do the Shadow Man justice! I cant wait to read more of L J Smith's books. I'm so glad to see that so many other people share my opinion! If you liked this style of book i urge you to read The Year of The Cat by Zoe Daniels. Take Care all Julian Lovers x

Summary: Why, Oh Why, Jenny?
Review: This is the collecter's edition of the triology The Forbidden Game, incorporating all three novels, The Hunter, The Chase and The Kill into one book. The cover art isn't very pretty and doesn't do Julian justice, but I do like the way Jenny looks on it. Anyway...The plot has been written out several times and I'm pretty sure that no one wants to read about it again. So I will just tell you what I thought of it. I read this for the first time when i was probably ten and i have loved it evr since. I was the only one who ever checked it out of the libray I think. I was glad to come to Amzon and find that over people liked it too. I just wish Julian and Jenny could have been together at the end. He did care about her more than Tom did. Julian would never snap at her or be arrogant, like Tom. I know it had to end the way it did, but why? Why? C'mon if you were in Jenny's shoes who would you pick? Arrogant Tom or ... Julian. BTW, whoever wrote that LJ Smith must have had a thing for the king of the Goblins in Labyrinth, right on! Julian DOES sound a lot like him, now that it's been mentioned.

Summary: A GREAT BOOK!! I highly recommend it!
Review: This is an awesome book. I read it not long ago. I think Julian is so hot and I wish that he and Jenny had fallen in love. I think that Tom is a stupid over-protective boyfriend. But I totally LOVED the book. I cryed @ the end of it. I hope L.J. Smith comes out with a fourth book of it soon! I love how she describes everything, like Jenny's dreams and every little detail. It is so romantic when Julian gave her the silver rose. The books were really well written, I didn't think that I would even like any of them, but I find myself constantly thinking about Julian and Jenny. I couldn't put the books down, I ended up reading all of them in two days! It was a fast but great read. I've read many of L.J. Smiths other books too. I think she's a great writer, and there isn't one of her books that I've read that I haven't absolutely loved. Look for my reviews on her other books.

Summary: the best!!!
Review: these are really great books and i adore julian because he;s hot. in my opinion, jenny should of picked julian instead of that whiner and crybaby tom i didnt like him he's too chicken. i liked these books because they had information on runes and mythical worlds and all that stuff and it gives the readers a feel on fantasy and mythical things like the shadow men and all. julian is a great character but the ending in book three is really sad. i recommend this book anyways. excellent book

Summary: when are they going to make a film of this?
Review: I first read this book when I was 13,and read it again when I was 16,again when I was 19,and now I'm 20 I want to read it again even though it hasnt even been a year since I last read it!Im glad that I got these books when they were released under point horror and only had eyes on the front cover,because the munter on the front cover of this book looks nothing like the lush julian I imagined!Considering that this is a book aimed at teens,and that it is a point horror,this book has had a stunning amount of research done.The only slightly disapointing thing about the book is the slightly childish way that the characters are portrayed,but as this book is aimed at teens,and is about teens,I think that we can let this minor discerpency slip.this book is still one of my all time favourites,buy it,read it and read it agian.without giving the end away(as if the other reviews havent already!)get the tissues out.

Summary: The Greatest
Review: I'm a huge Fan of Fantasy novels and such, I read The Forbidden Game awhile back, and I still like to read it now. It is one of the greatest trilogy of books I have read since i picked up Lord of the Rings the first time. It's a series of books that you never tire of reading, and everyone should read them.

Summary: JULIAN IS HOTT!
Review: This combines all the books: The Hunter, The Chase, The Kill into one. Starring the gorgeous and deadly Julian. Julian wants Jenny as his own. To be Queen of the Shadow World. He draws her and her friends into a deadly game full of their worst fears and if he wins the prize is Jenny. Ok. I gotta say one thing. Would it be soo bad to belong to Julian? Noo. Do you wanna know why? He's HOTT! Jenny was so lucky. And I just gotta say HOW CAN ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND CHOOSE TOM OVER JULIAN? That's gross! Tom is soo boring... GREAT TRILOGY!

Summary: The Forbidden Game
Review: Wow! Reading the reviews i was amazed! i didn't think before i'd read them that anyone else had fallen for a character in a book but oh my, Julian! wow he's just the perfect man, and i did imagine myself as Jenny. How great it would have been for a shadow man to cross over to earth just to get you to love him. I would have gone with him, it's like L J Smith's words had seduced the minds of the readers into this extrordinary fixation with this beautiful boy, Julian.
I absolutely loved the books to bits and sometimes when i'm out and i'll see something it reminds me of the book and i get this feeling and remember the fun i had readin them! So guyz, gals everyone. It doesn't cost an awful lot so why not buy it...you'll be surprised at how right us reviewers are about Julian!
thanks for reading
