I randomly picked this book off the shelf and read the book note by the publisher. The author is 15 from Romania...he said "Once in a while a book emerges that is a truly captivating blend of adventure, powerful emotion and sensitivity, a novel that is going to be cherished for many years." I decided I HAD to read it...Okay, so I am finished and was amazed that a 14 year old wrote it...there was some vocab I had to look up. :) I didn't give it a 5 because I felt that some of the conflicts wereBoring, repetitive, desperately in need of some direction. This was a big hit in Europe and young preteens will love it because it was written by a young lady who has been mentioned as somewhere between 12 and 14 years old. However, I had to drag myself through it. I'm not even sure why I bothered. Three girls discover they have a similar destiny and reluctantly embark upon a quest to save their world. Yadda yadda.
5 Words: Prophecy, war, friendship, family, good.I loved this book when I was a young teen. But reading it again over a decade later it just didn't have the same magic.
Quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read. I should've known when I saw the title, but even badfiction can be compelling in a comedic sort of way. The frame plot is about a girl in a hospital who is dying and she has some sort of dream in which she either dreams that the main story takes place or has some sort of past life regression, which turns out to be the main story. Now this concept in and of itself can be very interesting, if done well. It's a shame it wasn't because I'd loved
My faith in the public's ability to choose good literature has been completely destroyed by this book. Written by a 15 year old French writer, I cannot believe it has been published in multiple languages, and that it's average review is nearly a four. You must be kidding. The writing is incredibly stilted (I am feeling a great deal of pity for Middle School English teachers, if this passes for "really good" teen writing), and the plot has so many holes that it isn't even coherent in places.
Jade, Opal and Amber are three totally different girls.Jade is rich living with her father, spends half her time daydreaming, and the other half landed in reality.Opal is living in with her aunts in a normal town, with everyday-life destroying her fantasy.Amber is poor living with her sick mother, with her mind never in the real life, always dreaming.They all have the same birth day, and when they turn 14 their parents tell them they are adopted and give them their birth stones. After that they
... lost in translation? I feel that that is what must have happened here. This book was terrible, I had to force myself through it. The plot it cliche to the extreme, the dialogue unwitty, the characters two dimensional, not to mention complete beeotches. I think that must of this was lost in translation... because if it wasn't, then this is complete crap.
