I have to say that this book was really cool. I loved the setting and the time too. First I didn't understand why was it called A Great And Terrible Beauty but as I read more I began to understand. I really think you (whoever is reading) should read this book. It's about adventures, dangers, secrets, enchanted worlds but most of all about the power of a mysterious girl.

I never thought that I could say I have a favoite book, but this one was fantastic. I couldn't put it down so I brought it everywhere and stayed up late so I could finish it in three days. I recomend it to anyone. In fact, when I was done I had my mom read it and she loved it and than I suggested to a friend and it turns out that she already read it and loved it! Not only did I love the captivating element of the mystery and the setting of victorian england, but I think the author is a very talented writer and this book is a great peice of liturature. Even if you don't like fantasy books, the author made every thing seem so real when she expressed the emotions of the charecters. It had a powerful element of love and friendship and all the chapters left me hanging, which makes it even more exciting. I am so glad I stumbled by it at the book storte!

All I can say is WOW. This is an incredible piece of literature. I was asked by a local bookstore to write a pre-publication review of it and, let me tell you, I had absolutely nothing bad to say about it. The plot is so captivating and the characters are so true. Even the fantasy is real. As a matter of fact, the realness of this "dark power" stuck with me in a frightening (but good) way every time I put the book down.
