Summary: This was the best ghost story I've ever read!
Review: Anyone who likes ghost stories would LOVE this book! I swear, it's the best book I've read in a long time! I usually take 2 weeks to read a book, but I got this one done in 4 days! I couldn't put it down! Everything in the book seemed so realistic, and had a spooky feeling throughout the whole book. I would recommend it to anyone who loves supernatural or ghost stories!

Summary: eh
Review: I didn't like this book all that well. The beginning was ok, and the storyline got better towards the middle of the book. The ending, however, was hard to follow and didn't flow with the rest of the book. It's like the author didn't take very much time to think of an ending, and was tired of writing the book.

Summary: Good but annoying
Review: I enjoy these kind of stories and I would have liked it except the main character was soooooo annoying! She was rude and disrespectful. I just thought that it was hard to pay attention to the plot when you had a whinny 16-year-old in your face. Over all, the story was good and you might find Thea nice and interesting. Go ahead and try it out! You'll probably enjoy it.

Summary: twists & turns- why to read this book!
Review: I read this book and absolutely fell in love with it! It is one of those novels that forces you to believe one thing, and all of a sudden, something else happens. Absolutely mysterious and written beautifully... very passionate.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I think this book is fantastic, full of wonderful details ofThea's life and the dark garden. The mystery is filled with spookystuff, too. My sister and I both read it and we both loved it. We talked about it for ages after. I read it in a few days and it kept my interest right to the end.

Summary: Mysterious, yet interesting
Review: It was very mysterious at first, but very interesting. A young girl was riding her bike one day and fell and hit her head on the sidewalk, but doesn't remember a thing, not even her name.But something happened when she fell and now she has to find out why and what is doing this to her.

Summary: It's a delight
Review: Melancholy creepiness and textured storytelling has Buffie on top of her prose. Extreme details and flavourful subplots - The Dark Garden is a rosebed of good literature.

Summary: "The book was, okay!"
Review: The book's about Thea, a 16-year-old girl who's suffering of traumatic amnesia after an accident on her bike. In the hospital she got these dreams about a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and a silverpond. When she returns home, the garden is like in her dreams, but the silverpond doesn't work, it seems to have been broken for years, and the flowerbeds are overgrown, like nobody had taken care of them in a long time. She doesn't regognize anyone in the family, the house though, is a clear picture in her head. But the rooms and furniture doesn't fit in and the room that sopose to be hers, she remembers a servent called Annie, should live. Thea begins to see people and hear voices that nobody else does, and if Lucas hadn't shown up she probably would have gone crazy!I think the book was great. It was exiting to read it, but I didn't like Thea, as a person. She was too angry all the time!!!
