Great series for pre-teens and adults who want to remember them

I read all of the Anne of Green Gables stories as a child, and have continued to read them as an adult.

Ah childhood nostalgia and this book! There are so many things I could say about this series and its first, memorable exciting tale but I'm really just at a loss for words. Rereading this as an adult versus when I first picked it up in middle school feels like such a different experience but makes me appreciate it all the more. For anyone considering rereading the series especially with the new Netflix show that just came out - do it! You will not regret it! It was shorter than I remembered it being and I read it in one day and am so happy I did. Simple writing but captivating and immersive, a nice break from "adult life" something Violet, Klaus and Sunny find utterly confusing and at times despicable. I find myself in agreement with them as well, reflecting on and wishing for simpler, easier, happier days. For parents and kids alike this is one of the few middle grade books that accurately depict childhood neglect, abuse and the ways in which "adults" deal with it while educating and reaching out to kids as well. This series is important. Four stars and something everyone should read.

Recommend this series for everyone.  We always need reminders on our feelings, how to behave, and what is acceptable. Just plain social skills which many people forget how to use.

I don't know if it's because these books bring me back to a simpler time when a kid could ride her bike all around the countryside without having to play organized sports, but I love this series and I enjoyed this book.  I appreciate Mr. Bradley's use of the English language.  He invents unique metaphors and plays with words effortlessly.  We can all identify with our narrator (11 year old Flavia de Luce) because all of us remember what it was like being a kid and realizing that the adults around us thought that we were naive and/or stupid.  Flavia uses this to her advantage.  She feigns an interest in alternative religions, choir practice, antiques and playing with other children in order to get to the bottom of 1 beating, 1 disappearance and 1 strange death.

This whole series is great. Recommend for anyone over the age of 8 or 10, depending on how mature the reader, as some of them can get quite intense - parents beware if your child is reading well beyond their age, some of these books have addiction to drugs, death, beatings, all sorts of stuff. I suggest you read first, to make sure your child is up to it. Any one over the age of 12 will love them. (I'm 26)

I really love this series. This series does seem to be more geared toward teens, but I am 44 years old and I love them. You can take a dip inside a world where children rule and fight every day to survive. Imagine a world without parents, teachers, or any authority.

This is a suggestion to consider. This book is book 2 in the series but it is a prequel to book 1 (The Enemy). Anyone interested in the series may want to read this book first and then The Enemy.. It is purely based on individual preference.

His books do a really good job painting visual pictures in the mind, and suck you deep into the story. This is one of the best series in my opinion, and definitely worth a read, as are the others in this series. Reminded me how much I enjoyed reading the Narnia series as a kid, as well as the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring series. These are full length novels, so be prepared to invest some time in chapters that set the stage for later events. I got this for my daughter to read (11 yrs. old), whereas I was 35 or something when I read them. I can't tell if she is enjoying it yet, as she reads about 5 books at a time, and I can't seem to get her to invest the time into this one. Might be over her head, or a bit slow to start with the character development, I don't know.

For adults, I highly recommend this book and the series, but for the younger audience, it may be to mature or scare the pants off them. I'm OK with that ;)

I have enjoyed this series greatly.  People have unfairly compared it to the Harry Potter series because it contains kids learning magic in a boarding school.  This series gets dark fairly quickly but not too dark to be overly worrisome.  I feel these books are good for the ages of 10 onward.  I have not enjoyed all of the two author's writings but I recommend this series and am eagerly awaiting the fourth book.

This is a series that is loved by my child, along with many others in the same grade.  It would be loved by preteens and teens a like.

I've read this series before, and had to buy it to add it to my collection. All 3 books where there when I downloaded it. It went to my kindle without a problem. I highly recommend it for teens and adults. Anyone under 13 probably shouldn't read this without parent/guardian's approval due to the graphic nature of it's contents but for those mature enough to handle it, these books have my support. A+ to Suzanne Collins for her wonderful imagination.

I picked up the first book a couple of weeks ago & haven't put this series down since I started them.  I love how you can empathise with the character, the storylines and how simple these books are to simply pick up and read.  The last Guardian is entirely in line with the rest of the series.

It struck me around book 3 that my daughter would like these.  I don't know what age they are aimed at, but my 12 year old has just started reading them and is really getting into the storyline too.  So suitable for adults, young adults and teens.

My daughter loves this series of books.  There are many twists and turns to keep a teenager's mind wondering what will happen next.

I would like to point out that this series is PG-13+ rating and may not be acceptable reading for some teenagers.

I originally purchased the Eternal Destiny books for a teen family friend, but I read them, as well. I enjoyed them tremendously, and I was sorry to come to the end of the (two book) series. Probably more in tune with the likes of later teens, it is not inappropriate for mature younger teens, and even I, as an adult found the books interesting and worthy of praise for the writing style.

This is an awesome series for any kid and adults alike. We bought this set for our 11 year old grandson and I am reading it also. We have both enjoyed it greatly. A great little series.

I bought this series as a present for my little sister.  She absolutely loves them.  This is an excellent series for teenagers of all ages.

Revisiting this series was great - she is a great writer, understanding the subtle nuances of human nature and mixing sci-fi with something more that tugs at the heart. I read this first when I was in 6th grade and actually ordered these new ones for my 8-year old daughter. I will likely purchase the other books she has written. Great read!

Even as an adult I love this series. I ordered the Sixth Year and realized it had been a while since I read 1-5. And since I borrowed them before I decideed to purchase them this time. J. K. is such a good writter. I can't wait until my 4 year-old learns to read. She already loves the movies!
