I loved this book. My grandmother gave me the advanced copy for my birthday in 2005.
I believe I have read it several times since then. Faeries and alligators alike, this was a joyful experience to read this splendid book.

the book award of the year?
It was such a beautiful book, made me cry all the same but Sally Gardner's first book that I have discovered and want to read more. How does she write in such a classic manner. Book of the century for me so far. Just the best!!!!

Great Story
I am 11 and think this book is fantastic for readers because every word seems to weigh a hundred words; it also describes very well with a lot of historical events in it. I loved every part, every word, every letter because the author chose her words very carefully, which makes the book seem more realistic and lovely. I enjoyed it a lot, it would be nice if there were more books by Sally Gardner! :)

I, Coriander, is now one of my favorite books and I will buy it someday :)

I am 12 years old and I really loved this book a lot. The two different settings really pulled me in. And it was not like other books where it was good and a few boring parts, but this was amazing. I actually didn't want to read then I saw it on the shelf and used for a book report.

I personally read this book and found it amazing. I am 14 and this book was bought for me and I found it very deep and sometimes scary, but the way it comes together is very well done and Sally Gardner is a great writer.

I, Coriander
I absolutely loved this book because it told a girl's story in two different worlds. I thought all of the characters in the book were interesting and I loved how much detail there was in the writing. I totally wish there were sequels to this book. I want to read about Coriander and Tycho's future! All teen girls should most definitely read this book and I hope they all love it as much as I did!

BRILLIANT
This gripping book is a great read for people who want an adventure and a classic read. The book is a great fantasy, yet adventure story and improves children's writing and abilities. This book is for 9 yrs and above!

This book was excellent one of the best I have ever read. I don't normally like reading but after reading this book it has got me back into it. I would love to find another book as good as this one but I don't seem to be able to. 5 star.
