What readers think of A Great and Terrible Beauty, plus links to write your own review.

This is the greatest book I've ever read before in my life! I want to go into this book and into the realms and live ther forever!!! And I want to travel with the gypsy's and work magic with the Order. I want to be just like Gemma. She's so funny, and has the kind of humor I like. My friends and I now have a cave of our own, but I cannot reveal the secrets that go on inside (not very many mind you). The book is perfect for anyone interested in some slight British humor, magic and romance, and sad endings.

I love the 2 books soooooooooo much!!!! they are extremly awsome. I hope there will be a third book!

A Great and Terrible Beauty is definitely going on my list of top 5 favorite books!! It was wonderfully written and extremely enchanting. It's captivating. After the first couple of chapters, Bray had me hooked and I didn't want to put the book down. The characters were real and well-rounded with problems that we all have some experience with. They were very relatable which made the story easy to follow. There was just enough suspense to keep you guessing, but not enough to make you confused. I loved every aspect of this book. I would recommend it to anyone willing to read a good story with a magic twist, however, I have to admit it's more of a book for teenage girls. All in all, it was incredible! I can't wait to read the sequel, Rebel Angels.

This work of literature is very astounding; especially for a first time novelist. Bray understands what a reader needs and what we don't need. She really took to heart the characters. This was my first 400 page book, and I'm happy that I chose this one. I'm looking foward to reading the entire trilogy. Way to go Libba Bray:)

First, I have to thank my best friend Becca for giving me this extrodinary book! This impacted my thinking for a week. The characters are realistic; you feel as if you can go to school and find these people. This is sort of corny, but it was romantic in a sense. I felt as if this could really happen. I am an avid reader, and Im very hard on books. This had me hanging on every word. I would have to read this book 10 times to get bored with it. Everybody MUST read this book(at least all of the girls).

i loed this book and i passed it on to my friends who now love the book and now im soo ready for the last book!

Ok. So I have read both of Libba Brays' books and have loved them both!They're so exciting and i just love them!I am like obsessed and CAN NOT WAIT until the third and final book!Im upset because there is only one book left but i think it will be even better than the first two!(if thats even possible!)Everyone should read these!People off all ages (unless ur under 8 i dont recommend it!) Even my English teacher likes these books!

i found this book to be overwhelmingly fantastic and i loved the story and the quite accurate description of the world in the victorian age. i would read this book even if it was terrible, just so i would be able to read the next one. A Great and Terrible Beauty was quite good, but Rebel Angels is simply Marvelous. there are no words to describe it. so i suggest everyone read A Great and Terrible Beauty just so you can read the next one. and i mean reading this one isnt torture i found it to be quite pleasurable actually, CONGRATULATIONS LIBBA BRAY ON WRITING TWO FANTASTIC BOOKS, I AM SO VERY EXCITED FOR THE NEXT ONE, please hurry up and write it, i am so unbelievably unpatient, i need the next book NOW
