This book was fantastic. The complexities of the characters and the conflicts are amazing. Libba Bray truly understands how to make a character not only believable, but REAL. Gemma's conflicting emotions and trials (no matter how supernatural and unrealistic) demonstrate just how difficult it is to make the transition from childhood, to adulthood. Even if you're not normally into fantasy literature, this novel is still fantastic. A compelling Gothic for young adult readers.

This book was totally awesome. I first thought that it would be some wierdo book about some girl and her life at a boarding school. Actually it turned out to be totally not like that. I would recomend it to anyone and for those of you not sure, I would definetely give it a chance

I found the book to be very intriguing. Gemma was very mysterious and that led me to want to read more. I cannot wait for the next book to come out so I can have some of my questions answered.

I think that the book "A great and terrible beauty," was pretty good. It had magical things in it and normal things that could have really happened. I didn't give it a five because there was something that didn't grab me. I am not sure what it is and can't pin piont it. It was a really good book and I would recommend it to people who like magic and romance. The girls at spence's seemed real, and I love books set in the Elizabethian age and Victorian age. It was really good and I am waiting for the second one.
