Summary: Great Fantasy Book
Review: Garth builds an interesting world filled with the dead come back to haunt and eat the living. Sabriel must deal with these things and restore order to the Kingdom. It's a great read, no hooky tricks with last minute savings from things not mentioned prior. It's both a coming of age book, and an journey book. Recomended for young teens and adults. May be too scary for pre-teens.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE IT!
Review: I'm an advid fantasy reader and this is my second favorite book ever. (The first being its sequel Lirael)

Sabriel is a story about a girl (Sabriel if you haven't guessed) who is looking for her father, Abhorsen. Abhorsen has the power to use bells to put dead things back in Death (Death is a place) Lirael also has this skill. While she is looking for her father Lirael finds there is something very wrong in the Old Kingdom. Dead are everywhere running rampant with no one to stop them.

Sabriel is awesome. With a strong feminine lead and plenty of magic and action there is no way someone can hate this book. My summary can't even begin to describe it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GIRL POWER!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I originly read this story, because I lost a bet with a friend, and she got to chose a book for me to read -- with out complaining.

I thought that it would be hard and that the book was terrible, but I was REALLY REALLY wrong.

The story was really good. A little confusing at some parts, like when Sabrail travels into the realm of the Dead, and uses bells (I think!) to bring the dead back to life. But it's a really good adventure and fantasy book.

The main character, Sabrial is really interesting, and goes through a lot in the book, from saving people, to going into the realm of the dead to do so. Her cat, Mogget, that helps her around abit if really funny and cool. And her friend Touchstone (weird name, I know!) is kind of wimpy, but, hey, the more girl power, the better.

All together, this is a really good book, and if your looking for a good read, this is definatly it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sabriel
Review: This is probably one of the best books i have ever read. My daughter bought it and told me i HAD to read it, grudgingly i obliged, fantasy is not one of my favorite things to read. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone over 12, or someone with a higher reading level, it is deffinatly hard to follow, but well worth the struggle!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting world, so so characters
Review: Sabriel is the daughter of Abhorsen, a famous necromancer, but her father goes missing and the only place she can find him is in the Old Kingdom. The Old Kingdom is not a friendly place however, the dead roam free and magic is the only way to survive. But how is a girl who just finished school suppose to track down her father in such a place? Even with the help of Mogget, a cat who is more then he appears, and Touchstone, a freshly revived swordsman and mage, the rescue mission still won't be smooth sailing. Something dead and powerful is after Sabriel and she must become an even greater necromancer than her father if she hopes to survive.

I adored the setting and magic system. The necromancy aspect in this book is the most interesting I've ever read about. The engrossing, fast paced plot makes this book a real page turner. This could have easily been a five star book if the characters had been more interesting. There was very little character development and what little there was came across as cold. Still, I probably will read some other books in this series, if only for the rich world that Garth Nix has created.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is the only one worth buying out of them all
Review: and i havent even read the third one yet! this book kept me reading and i loved it.. i was so excited when i saw the second one...till i started read that one! i hated the new charactar. Sabriel was much better. i kept hoping he would go back to her, but i never found that part in the second book(of course i didnt finish it so) but dont miss out on reading sabriel. its really good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: Sabriel was a great book about a young girl who happens to be a necromancer. Necromancers are people that use magic involved with the dead, and they are usually evil. However, Sabriel is a good necromancer, who instead of bringing people out of the dead to follow her commands, puts them back into the dead, so that they can't do any more evil. Sabriel goes through an exciting adventure, after a certain undead creature in the book, and grows during the book as well. The book was very well written, and kept me turning pages well into the night.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful read for fantasy lovers
Review: This book brought back all of the joy of reading a good fantasy novel. The heroine of the book, Sabriel, is a strong character that gives this book a good base. Magic and mystery abound along with a love plot that is subtle enought that it does not cover up the strong fantasy roots. This book was truly enjoyable and should be read by all fantasy lovers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book is wonderful. It is capturing...a true page turner. If you buy this one you will be caught in the series, so be prepared to buy Lireal (probably spelled wrong), and Abhorson (probably spelled wrong too). The book is creative and interesting, unlike some books in which the writers become too interested in the details and forget to create a capturing storyline. Descriptions are good, but stay simple, telling you just enough to give you a visual, and the storyline is very exciting. I think that any fantasy reader will enjoy this book.
