Rating: Summary: The most best book I've read! Review: One of the most exiting Book I've read! Five stars for Me! I absolutly LOVE it!
Rating: Summary: A Ballet Without the Dance Review: The language in this book is beautiful and lyrical supplying all the wonder that you hear when you listen to the music of Swan Lake. But while we may recieve endless descriptions of yams and yam kitchens we do not recieve any details of what is actually occuring in the story. I felt it was very much like listening to Swan Lake as opposed to watching it. Doing one without the other is only half the experience.
Rating: Summary: This book captured my mind , I couldn't put it down! Review: The story that Mark Helprin tells us is something that we'll never forget! As we journy with the little girl in the city we come to believe that miricales do come true.

Rating: Summary: please read this!!!!!!!!!! Review: When reading this book, you will probably find it surprising that this book is a sequel to what happens in the ballet, "Swan Lake". But this is not a childish book describing the positions of ballet or some halfhearted fairy tale. This is what you can call quality reading. Believe me, it is not boring, it is suspenseful and exciting. (Having read this in third grade, I know that it covers a wide range of ages.) It is not just a children's book, either. Adults will enjoy the breathtaking illustrations and the amazing story. Mark Helprin sure knows how to weave words, and Chris Van Allsburg can paint illustrations that play with light and are almost as captivating as the story itself. Congradulations to the author and the illustrator! And if you plan on getting this book, good luck and happy reading!
