Customer Review: The Wanderer

The Wanderer
by Sharon Creech [j Creech]

This book is one of Creech's best works. The story takes place in the perspective of all the main characters. This story takes place out in the open ocean, with all the adventure anyone could possible want. there is pure family love and trial, tests of trust, and mystery. I recommend this book to anyone who has the spirit to do anything they want, even against the people who criticize their very hopes and dreams. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review: Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park
by Michael Crichton [Crichton]

I thought this book was amazing because the story just kept on going and there was no part in this book where it was boring. The characters feel so real to the reader, you don't ever want to forget them. The dinosaurs themselves are so terrifying, you feel like they've been brought back from the dead. Once you close that book, you feel like your putting the dinosaurs back into ancient time. I recommend this book to anyone who has a love and appreciation for science and adventure. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Loch
by Paul Zindel [j Zindel]

This book was amazing!!!! It kept you on your toes with horror and mystery. The characters were either one of two things, lovable,or out of this world nasty. I recommend this book to the people who like horror or mystery. Also to those who are open minded... -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review: Icefire

Icefire
by Chris D'Lacey [j D'Lacey]

This book was written with Characters that you could never forget. The only drawback was that the book was written in a way so that it is hard to follow along. I would recommend this book who has a love of dragons and has a strong mind that is capable of wrapping around the impossible and the possible. If you can understand it, then you will really enjoy it. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review: Everything for a Dog

Everything For a Dog
by Ann M. Martin [j Martin]

This book is actually 3 stories in one. All are about the relationships between dogs and humans, either friendship, rivalry and forgiveness, and healing. All of them are heart warming. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review: How to Ride a Dragon's Storm

How to Ride a Dragon's Storm: The Heroic Misadventures of Hiccup the Viking
by Cressida Cowell [j Cowell]

I thought this book was really funny and well writin. The characters are unforgetable and lovable, especialy Hicup Horrendus Haddock 3rd. I have already read the story numerous times and it never gets old. I recommend this book to anyone ages 7-1007. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review - Raptor

Raptor
by Paul Zindel [YA Zindel]

This book was extremely thrilling and horrifing all the same. I recomend this book to anyone who loves science fiction and horror. But... I would not recomend this book to anyone with a weak stomach, because it is very grossly detailed. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

Customer Review - The View From Saturday

The View From Saturday
by E.L. Konigsburg [j Konigsburg]

I really did not this book. For starters, the author spent way to much time on explaining the characters. For another thing, the author kept saying they were going to compete in something but you don't find out until the end and it turns out to be a trivia! The book was also very confusing . It didn't tell you anything you wanted to know but they leave out what you do want to know!!! I strongly DON'T recommend this book to anyone. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

New Customer Reviews - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

During the course of our Summer Reading Program, several reviews for various books in the Harry Potter series were submitted to our Customer Reviews pages on the libraries' BookGuide reader site. Here are the reviews for the final book in the Potter series: 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J.K. Rowling [j Rowling]

This was one of the most exciting of the series. It was really good, except that too many people died. Rowling did a very good job with this book and she made sure that everything was explained from the past books. This book is not a waste of your time. I'm planning on reading it again. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

I picked up this book because it was the last book in the series and I had to finish it. I would definetly recommend this book because it's a real hooker. I couldn't put it down. I think the title really refers to the book, because many people die in the book. It also has a great ending! One of the best books I've ever read! -- review submitted by Amilia B. - another customer of the Gere Branch Library

This is the last gripping installment of the Harry Potter series. Voldemort is rising to power and Harry and his friends must find and destroy all Horacruxs. They leave Hogwarts to search. They try and discover the secrets of what really is happening. People are lost, war is in full swing. They must stop Voldemort form taking power. When they return to Hogwarts war is all over the school. When Harry agrees to surrender, he learns something: He is the last Horcrux. He will have to die to defeat Voldemort. What does he do? Read to find out! -- review submitted by Ashley A. - another customer of the Gere Branch Library

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling [j Rowling]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
by J.K. Rowling [j Rowling]

This is my favorite of the Harry Potter series, because of the amount of adventure, excitement and peril. I love the twists. I would recommend it to anybody who likes adventure and magic. -- review submitted by Felicity N. - a customer of the Gere Branch Library

It's an amazing book. I love the whole series, and if you have liked the books you should totally read this. I, again, love these, and I recommend anyone to read these from age 10 to 107. You will love them. -- review submitted by Teresa G. - also a customer of the Gere Branch Library

This has to be one of my favorite Harry Potter books. This fourth installment in the seven book series is about how the Triwizard Tournament is at Hogwarts. Three schools come together: Hogwarts, Beaubaxtons, and Dumstrang to compete to see who can win the trophy. Three seventh years are selected: Victor Crum, Fleur Delacor, and Cedric Diggory. Then, when everyone thought everyone was chosen another piece of paper comes out from the Goblet, Harry Potter. Harry is a fourth and cannot compete. No one knows who put his name in, but Dumbledore says that if the cup picked his name he is competing. Competitions include: trying to get the egg from fierce dragons, going underwater with mermaids, and the final maze with obstacles galore! Who wins? What awaits the winner at the end of the maze? Is it really the Triwizard cup? READ IT TO FIND OUT! -- review submitted by Ashley A. - also a customer of the Gere Branch Library
