I finished Beautiful Creatures yesterday. WOW was that a good book. I can understand all the hype this book has gotten now. I want to be a caster girl I loved Ethan Wate He is a great character,funny at times(almost always about Amma) I loved their relationship. And I liked how he stuck by Lena no matter what.Even the secondary characters were great especially Link, Ridley and Marian. The only thing that did bother me a bit, was how Ethan always gave up on things. He'd hear someone say something and never ask about it..I know he was afraid of what Amma would do but come on,you'd want to know these things.Especially at the end..no one told him he died and she used the spell to bring him back and that's why Macon died..he didn't even ask since he couldn't remember anything. Macon and his family were a bunch of oddballs but I loved that.I knew something was up with Larkin,he was too skeezy for me I hope we learn more about Ethan's moms death,they hinted that maybe it wasn't an accident. I am definitely going to recommend this book to anyone who asks me what's a good book to read Obviously there will be a sequel,with that ending, the new song on his Ipod If you haven't read it yet...GO GET IT!!!!!

I really wanted to read this book this week, been looking forward to it, everyone is saying how good it is. But, I have to wait still before i can read it, there's a waiting list at the library and I still have couple of people in front of me. But when I do finally get it, I'll let you know how it goes.

I liked this book. I kinda got the sense of Twilight with the forbidden love thing since he was a mortal and couldn't be with a caster. I wonder what happened with Ridley since she disobeyed orders. And Sarafine is not nice....I hope something happens to her if there is a sequel. And Lena having one green eye and one gold...does that mean she is neutral or just unclaimed until she is 17 like the song says. I'm sad that Macon died but couldnt believe he was sucking parts of Ethan's dreams away and that he wouldn't tell Lena the whole truth. I hope there is a sequel so we can see what happens. p.s. i want to be a caster girl too, lol ;D

I finally got to read this and I loved it, it's kind of like Twilight meets Harry Potter or that's how i see it. Hopeful this gets anwered in the second book. Since she is un-claimed will she get claimed and what happen to the dark casters when they disappered? And since she has one green eye and one gold eye is she a balance half dark/half light or does she have to choose still?
