Big production
Gripping story
Friend or foe
A solid entertaining film. It has a good cast and big production values, with great attention to detail. There are some good action scenes but the tension wracks up very well towards the end.

This was a very well written book. I loved how the story was told in a series of letters written to her friend who had moved away. The relationships that develop are great. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

This book talks about a lot of important topics that are sometimes intensely emotional. Charlie is a very well thought out character written beautifully. However, book constantly reference music or movies that are cult classics. It gets annoying.

Not bad
This one wasn't bad. I was easily sucked into the world and characters and had no trouble caring what happened to them. The story line was good as well. Easy to follow. I really enjoyed following Clary and her group.

Amazing
This first book in a trilogy really set off with a bang. I loved everything about it including the mystical and magical elements. Anything with Far in it I will give a try and this try was well worth it. Huge win

Rebuilding
This book is mostly about several characters building or rebuilding themselves. We see acceptance, reluctance, resilience, perseverance, motivation, and more from various characters. There is also quite a bit of angst woven in as well.
