Yes

I think I highlighted about half of this book. Anyone who follows Jesus or grew up in church should read this.

Informative and readable. Practical information in a book you can actually read. Lots of things I already knew from my child care experience but was reassured to see in a book. as well as tips and things I hadn't thought about.

A fun book that distracted me while I was sick.

I don't know why, but I've generally shied away from books about different kinds of vampires. I read their descriptions, I think maybe I'll try it, but I never do.

This book has a movie coming out soon, and I haven't started a new series in a while. In my defense, I have a two year old.

So finally, I decided to start this book. The world has everything. Vampires! Magic! Boarding school! church, and they still have technology and seem to live in the modern world as well as their unique one.

This book was exciting and interesting. I've read a few reviews that indicate that the series improves as you go along too.

I'll read the next one.

Well-paced, fun and funny modern fantasy.

I think this really was the last book in the series, this time. It's funny reviewing it. When I read the first books in this series, I was 19 or 20. Now, by the magic of book time, I think I'm older than Becky. When I read Mini Shopaholic, I was pregnant with my daughter. Now she's four, but Minnie is still two years old. Funny how things work out.

The previous book wasn't my favorite, but it ended on quite a cliffhanger. Even then, it took me a while to feel “in the mood” to read this book. I think it's the fall release. Shopaholic books just don't seem like fall reading to me, I guess.

I do hope this is the finish of the series. It had better pacing than the previous book. It solved the mystery, had nice character moments, and even some actual character growth from Becky. It really seemed like the book gave closure for the series.

I may quote this play too often.

Did this for my LAMDA exams.

This is my favorite Lewis. I remember the first time I read it. When I was finished I wanted to go back to the beginning and start over again.

My favorite of the Anne books. I love the college years, the many proposals, and of course the thrilling last few pages!

Mixed

I loved the creative world and treatment of the “upside down” kids. I was a bit shocked at the behavior of Nory's father and siblings, though. Mostly good. Parents aren't perfect, and maybe that will be addressed later in the series.

Not as good as the series.

I love this series, and this book is another great one.

Good fantasy adventure. Great story with Biblical allusions, historical references, and plenty of imagination.

I listened to this as I crocheted Christmas presents.

I had not heard of this book/series until someone asked if I had it. It was a really fun read. Maybe nothing earth-shattering, but very enjoyable.

I love Amelia Bedelia and still read her when I find myself in a waiting room.

The classic Christian apologetic. It starts very broadly and gets very specific. I have many copies of this book because I'm always lending it or leaving it somewhere and I tend to panic without the reference. I recommended this book to a friend who was struggling with her dad not being a believer and after reading it she said she really felt better about talking to him. If I could make sure everyone in the world read one book, this would be it.

Beautiful classic fantasy. You can really see how this author inspired modern classics.

The first time I read the first book, I was pretty disappointed. I read it for a children's lit class my second semester in college(spring 2002), I really wanted to like it but I just didn't think it was that good. I think part of the problem was that I was trying to compare it to the fantasy that I grow up with which was mostly Narnia. I eventually heard from people whose book taste I trusted that the third and fourth books were the best ones, so I changed my expectations a bit and tried again, and by the fourth book I was really loving the characters and Goblet of Fire became my favorite. After that I reread the series from the beginning and really began to enjoy them. Order of the Phoenix was easily the weakest book in the series, I honestly think it needed some editing, but I was very happy with Half-Blood Prince. I had mixed feelings about the ending of the final book, Deathly Hallows, at first but I liked the way it turned out after I had thought about it and discussed it a bit. Another thing that I think really made this series good for me is the audiobooks read by Jim Dale. They were all so well performed that it really helped me get into the series more. By the time Deathly Hallows was being released, I was genuinely excited.

I love the Chronicles of Narnia as a whole, but this is probably my favorite. There's no part of it that I don't care for, every line is a treat. I think that the undragoning of Eustace is a beautiful illustration of salvation.

I love this book. Pun intended. All of the sections for each type of love are excellent, but the Agape/Charity section is the crowning jewel. I quote from this book often, and I think it really helped me to understand and think more in-depth about different types of relationships.

I love this book. I've read it many times since my childhood. I think that not just every girl, but every person should read it. It's especially good if you have siblings (I'm the oldest of 3 girls) or even better to understand a sibling relationship if you don't have siblings.

I truly enjoyed this series. It had fantasy and technology which I think is somewhat unique. It had adventure, but since there was really no giant evil to fight or anything, it was lighter than some other recent books I've read. The setting, characters, and stories all make this a very fun read.

I specifically remember getting this book for my eighth birthday.
