The House of the Spirits was a beautiful book about a young lady with mysterious "powers," and no one understands her.  It takes a lot of wierd unexpected twists and it keeps you on your feet.  If i had one word to describe this book it would be, unbelievable.
  It's a very strange story and certain things could never happen in real life, but yet it's all believable.

Honestly, there's not enough words to describe how fantastically extraordinary, "Everything Everything" is. I was able to finish this book rather fast, I didn't wan't to put it down. The book gives such a profound meaning. There are some sentences in the book and some quotes that really just make you think differently about some things... see things from a different perspective if you will. I would highly recommend, "Everything Everything" to anyone. It has drama, romance, and even a little bit of thriller because you don't know what's going to happen next. It's definitely a page turner.

I am halfway through this book as I write this. I didn't want to wait until the end and then forget to tell everyone how much I love it. It's an addicting read, it's a sad story, it's coo coo crazy, but the main character Narcissa is so real and full of truth in all her madness. She encompasses the pain of the world. I love how her dialogue is written! So, I am happily reading along and stay entertained page by page. Jonathan Shaw has written a great book and it's taking me on one hell of a hardcore ride. Thank you, come again! Next page!

What a wonderful, amazing, and thoughtful book!! I can rave about this book all day long because I loved it. I really did. Nadim has a special place in my heart. This book is action packed from the start and there is never a dull moment. I actually had to stop reading this book for a couple of day because I was so consumed by this story and I didn't want it to end! The world building was complex yet unique. I loved the characters so much. I was lost in my own imagination/world while reading this book. I love this book so much. Did I mention how much I love this book??

The action, adventure, romance AND space, this series is going to be epic. I need book 2 ASAP.

This is truly and incredible read and it is so worth the purchase. I was so pulled in that I barely wanted to put the book down, and even though life and work forced me to, there was always that strong urge to pick it back up when I had free time. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. I encourage everyone who comes across this piece to give it the time of day, I laughed, I cried, I  was caught by surprise and I was satisfied. If there were more stars available, all of them would be highlighted.

I absolutely adored this book. The setting is wonderful, the characters compelling, and the storyline addictive. I cannot praise the writing style enough, it is truly a page turner, to the point where I was sad whenever I was forced to put it down.

I enjoyed every moment of the adventure this story takes you on, and I look forward to the next in the series with great excitement and anticipation. I encourage you all, whatever your preferred genre or style, pick up a copy of this story  you won't be disappointed. It has something for everyone, its scope is huge, and pleasure can be found at every level; from its simplest state to its most complex. This story is in turn; unique, fresh, fascinating and captivating. If you are looking for something new, something with intrigue and depth, then this is the one.

My sincerest thanks to the author for sharing her wonderful world with me, for letting me get to know her characters, and in advance  for the next in the series I cannot wait to read.

I love this book. A friend from work gave it to me and I could not put it down. I did not want this book to end and the minute I finished it I started reading it all over again. I recommend this book to everybody. When I see people in book stores browsing for something to read I stop them and tell them to read this book. Some are very happy with the recommendation, while others look at me like I'm crazy for talking to them. But I don't care; I'm going to keep telling everyone to read this book!

Great, great read. Once I jumped in, I simply could not put this one down. The pacing of the book is very addicting. The way it jumps from character to character and the scope and scale of the story/universe builds over time gets you wanting to swing from one page to the next to see how the piece is going to unfold. There are little folded corners of each character that you catch a glimpse of that adds to their canvas, not only to place archetypes in a sandbox and watch them interact. Everything felt tangible. The description of some of the horror to be found within felt beyond visual representation. Things you can only paint with words. Excellent book all the way through. And the fact that this is a series has me stoked. For an opening book like this to deliver on so many levels is incredible.

Just my kind of book. I could not put it down for days, but I didn't want it to end. The characters and details of their every emotion and thought were fascinating. At the very last quarter of the book, I became tired of the story, still extremely addicting.

This is THE most amazing series I have ever read.  I have read many books including the Xanth series, the Book of Three, Harry Potter, Virtual Mode, and many other fantastic books.  But, I HAVE to say that this is the best book, best trilogy out there.  A girl named Lyra and her daemon innocently get involved, through an eavesdropped conversation, in what will eventually become THE ultimate battle.  Who can she trust?  Where will she go?  But most importantly WHY?  WHAT is a 12-year-old girl doing in a horrifying battle between good and evil?  Which side is good, and which side is evil?  Fascinated?  You should be.  The plot is remarkable, the story thrilling, and you are helpless.  Once you start, all you can do is turn the page.  You cannot put the book down, eat a snack, or even glance up.  The plot is enthralling, unpredictable, you can never tell what is going to happen next.  You also grow to know and love the characters.  I feel as though I am living this book.  The quality of writing is high, the characters realistic, the plot almost believable, and the story astonishing.  These three books not just talk about magic, I could swear that they ARE magic.  Reading these three books leaves you not with just the satisfaction of finishing a terrific book, but also with something, a lot to think about.  For several days after I finished The Amber Spyglass, I went around like a zombie in a kind of daze.  All I thought about was those three books.  In class, I paid no attention, I did not participate, and my friends thought that I was insane because I didn't say a word to them for almost a week.  I can not, in words discribe this book.  It is too good to be described with words.  Anyone who has read this book will understand.
 The effect this story had on me is startling too.  I actually had several dreams involving these characters, some interesting, and one terrifying.  When I read this book, I was frightened, or happy, or relieved, and at a couple places I cried.  You see, this isn't just a book, just a dream, just a fantasy.  It is real, in your mind.  The characters are there, as are the places.  In time, memories from the story, and your personal history mingle, and eventually, they are one.  You have not READ this story, you have LIVED it.

Seriously, after reading this book I was absolutely stunned. It was amazing from start, to middle, to finish (can't wait for the second book,) I'm Completely in love with it. I purchased the kindle version here on amazon, but am planning on ordering the paperback version, the second I have money. Books like this, that at the memory of a sentence, or scene causes you to break out into a grin, are my absolute favorites. AMAZING READ, so what are you waiting for? GET IT!!!

An amazingly wonderful story for any age.

This novel started off as something I would read with my younger son, who really enjoys the fantasy Harry Potter style books.
As we read more and more, I found myself very invested into the story, and the characters. So many of the themes in the book resonate so well with everyone. Bullying, not fitting in, feelings of self doubt, being sad and alone.
I was absolutely amazed at the beautiful descriptions and storytelling which had me imagining every twist and turn of the book. This has some deeply emotional parts that might even choke up a parent, so... no shame.. Just saying.

I would absolutely recommend this fantastic novel by David Pedersen, and all of his other books as well, such as the Angst series. Pick this up today!
