The Book of Dead Days Audiobook

" it a total horror! =P "

" Gripping, harsh, dark brooding tale of an orphan boy called 'Boy' apprenticed to a magician slowly going mad in between Christmas and the New Year. Wonderful stuff "

" Surprisingly engaging novel for young adults. Mixes magic and curses with an adventurous, sometimes very dark storyline. It had me turning the pages throughout. "

" I was extremely impressed by this book. It was incredibly gripping and simply amazing. "

" I couldn't get passed the first few chapters "

" I thought the story as a whole was very good, and it moves along quite quickly. But I was not so impressed by the actual writing...sometimes the sentences struck me as somewhat juvenile. Also, the book ends without providing all the answers, so you know you'll be reading the sequel if you want resolution. "

" Fun, easy to read (I am reading a lot of kids books atm!) good characterisation and pretty sweet in places. "

" Hocrapyes. It's the atmosphere and the setting that really makes this - the story is fabulous as well, but the feel of it is beyond brilliant. Sends a shiver down your spine. "

" well i pretty sure the if you like demons and magic spells and people dieing you will like this book "

" Very well-written with interesting characters. A little gruesome for younger readers but kind of scary in a fun way. "

" Ok, so it really freaked me out, definately not bed-time reading. "

" Big fun! This was an exciting book. Good story, excellent pace, and interesting characters. I look forward to the next installment. "

" I actually read the Dark Flight Down first and the strange thing is I enjoyed the two part series more this way. The books were both quite thin and I somewhat resented that factor I know it sounds crazy. "

" Fantastic book! My favorite next to the Harry Potter series. "

" Little convoluted. Is it the first of a series? "

" too confusing in the plot, though it could have been seamless. seemed like a very interesting tale, the days between dec 26-31, the dark days. i was let down, but it was 'ok' some of my students like it. "

" YABC March 2008 "

" Well crafted and enjoyable, but ultimately shallow and predictable. "

" I wrote a review on my blog. "

" I was enjoying this until I got to the end and realized that it had a sequel. Tricky authors. "

" One of my favorites as a kid! "

" This was the best book iv'e read in ages! Could not put it down. "

" Interesting. Pace was okay, writing's decent; be interesting to see what happens in book 2. "

" Wonderful and weird in it's setting, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The atmosphere Sedgwick builds is truly captivating, and a long way away from most YA books on the market today. "

" It was good but not scary enough "

" This book was alright - but it was kind of boring. It started It waffled It ended... And now they want you to read the sequel? Dissapointing! "

" Its intresting book different then some other things ive been reading. But i would saw its great book not something i would skip saturday for thou. "

" Good writing, imaginative plot. The week between Christmas and New Year's is my favorite. Like the author, I think there is something magical about this time. "

" This was the best book iv'e read in ages! Could not put it down. "

" Sedgwick's first book - only the second I've read, after Revolver last year, which was superb. Book of Dead Days - fantastic concept, well-written, good story, but didn't hook me as Revolver did. Will certainly try the sequel to BoDD. "

" I thought it was a very good, interesting story line :] "

" It was a bit confusing at first but slowly it started to untwine itself. It truly was a wonderful read! "

" I was enjoying this until I got to the end and realized that it had a sequel. Tricky authors. "

" Kind of slow to start, but once you get into it, it's a real pageturner. "
