Delightful. Delghtful! I had seen the movie on television and was intrigued by that area of the country, specifically with Savannah. But then this fall, we got a chance to visit. And I had to read the book as a result. It is one of the best books I've read in the last decade or so. Absolutely a book you can't put down. Beautifully written, wonderful characterization, told from the first person, but transparently - very different from most books of this type. I hated to finish it.

This is one of the best books I've read in a while. It was funny while being smart. It brought back memories from back in the day, and introduced me to some music I missed. It's also got great artwork. This one book you should not miss.

I just finished reading this book to my 10 year old.  I think it is an amazing, once in a hundred years kind of book.  It is touching, honest and thought provoking. As an adult, you'll have to read it more than once to unfurl the layers and interpret the underlying meanings.  Older children will pick up on the allegorical nature of the story, while younger children may be frightened by the sometimes harsh circumstances of Edward's life.  I believe this book is ideal for children from 4th grade up.  It should also be required reading for middle and high school  English students as an fine example of the use of personification, metaphor and parable. Beautiful.  Gives me the chills just thinking about it.  I will read it again.

This book is one of my favorites, it's well written and the characters are fantastic, it's a book that you can flip to any one page and instantly get pulled into the story, wanting to know more, connecting immediately to it. The description of this small Northeastern town is so vivid that it's as if I'm standing there. The story at it's core is a very personal and I relate to it so much in so many ways. All in all, this is a great book and if you're on the fence about it I'm telling you buy it, it's totally worth it.

This is my favorite book from the last decade. It's really fast paced, and makes you imagine every detail in the world of "Ready Player One". It's not the most complex book, and it isn't the most depth, but is a fun and rewarding book to read, you will feel happy since the beginning.
The characters are not only that, they are heroes, they feel like that and you will want they to succeed.

This is one of the best books I've read in years. Maybe not, this is the best novel in my life. Can't tell everything, just read this. I highly recommend it.

I am very impressed with this novel; it's one of the best I've read in recent memory and since I read anywhere from 4-8 novels a week that is high praise coming from me. The writing is exquisite, the storyline well-crafted, the characters almost mesmerizing in their depth and how realistic they seem despite being fantastical beings. The plot is slow to develop but in a good way, somehow keeping the whole of the story unpredictable even though you kind of already know what's going to happen. The research into both the cultural and historical backgrounds was obviously extensive, and the knowledge imparted to the reader flowed easily throughout the book. I loved it, really loved it, and I am hoping for many more novels from this author.

This book is one of my favorites. I'd be happy to nominate it as one of the most outstanding novels of this century. It is a realistic look at the hardships of the cultural revolution. A young college student is sent to a rural area, where he is forced to work in a mine so narrow he has to crawl on his belly to get through it. The people of the village are amazed at the young student's watch. They'd never seen one before. Brilliant. You owe it to yourself to read this book.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. There are multiple levels in this work and it is worth allowing oneself to reflect and really think about the book on different levels. The characters were nuanced, believable, multidimensional.
