Beyond the Valley of Thorns Audiobook

" 2009 #30: This is the second book in The Land of Elyon series. Unlike the first book, The Dark Hills Divide, this one didn't fit as a story on its own. Beyond The Valley Of Thorns just continues straight into The Tenth City, the third book in the series. Like many movie trilogies, I found this second part in the series to be less satisfying than the other parts. "

" yeah, u know what i was gonna say "

" This book (and trilogy) is great for young adult fiction! I loved every bit! "

" This book was very adventurouse and interesting! "

" 2 1\2 stars. Pretty boring. It was all right but certainly not anything special. What is up with Alexa being chosen by Elyon since the very beginning as the person to save everyone? Her destiny and all that. More annoying than epic in my opinion. I ended up buying this and the first one at Half Price Books for $1 each. So that was a good price but I'm not sure I would have spent much more on this. "

" In this book I learned that sometimes you have to over come your fears and be strong. I learned this when Alexa was afraid to go in the dark tower but she did it anyways to save her friends. "

" I thought this book was really good and was so happy to hear there was a sequel! Love everything about these books! "

" I enjoyed this book even more than the first in the series. The story felt like it had more depth than the first one and was faster paced. "

" Thought it was as cute as the first book. "

" I always feel so betrayed when a children's fantasy series turns out to be Christian fiction. The allegory was mild in the first one, but gets stronger here. I don't know if I'll finish the series or not. Just like Narnia, I don't know how much of it I can stand. "

" Like it better than the first one in the series. Not nearly as predictable and a nice cliff hanger ending. I was excited when the library had #3 on the shelf and I didn't have to wait to get it. "

" This one scored higher than most due to its in between factor, although it does have some main, key points. "

" I read this several years ago and alas, I don't really remember much of it. I didn't leave a huge impression on me but I did really like it at the time. "

" this has the same review of the dark hills divide "

" I know, I'm sorry I am giving this a bad rating, but it was not as good as the other one, and I never really got too into the book. It just seemed very stale and basic the entire time, with little delving into twists of plot or anything. "

" sadly i read this one before the first so it didn't make as much sense but after reading the first one it was good "

" it was very good but not as good as the 1st "

" im lovin the series keep going!!!! "

" it was interesting, just not as good as the first! "

" Very exciting. Can't wait to read the next one! "

" Once ya read the first one, ya gotta read the second one, and u'd be CRAZY not to read the last one after coming THAT far. "

" Still kewl and weird and adventureous and interesting. "

" It is a great continuation of the first book. "

" best book in the seris, things just kick of in the begining "

" We are done with this series. Not that great. "

" Read this to the three older children. We all liked it. "

" It was good, I liked it. "

" Ending is a bit improbable but still an interesting read "

" i loved it sooooo much! "

" I read this a very long time ago but I really enjoyed it. "

" Not as good as a story as the first one in the series, but the it moved along quite nicely and it is very enjoyable for being so short in length. I plan on reading the entire series. "

" Great bring up to pick up where he first let off, he shows just how things are not always as they seem... "

" I read this several years ago and alas, I don't really remember much of it. I didn't leave a huge impression on me but I did really like it at the time. "

" really good!!!!! im gonna read the 3rd and 4th books! "

" The writing is still quite stilted and dialogue seems forced in places.Plot/Concept is interesting enough to keep me going, though I wonder if Elyon is like Aslan. "

" My favorite book of the "Land of Elyon" series. "

" One of my favorite series. Interesting enough for a seven year old and thought-provoking enough for adults. "

" Really enjoyed the second adventure of Alexa in the Land of Elyon. The author is so descriptive. It was like being there. "

" Alexa finds the last jocasta and goes on and adventure to defeat the evil Victor Grindall "

" LOVED THIS BOOK!Its truely an amazing book and an easy read. "

" This book is just as good as the rest! "

" its the secnd book of the elyon book i also luved it "
