Summary: Sabriel
Review: Sabriel is a most unique book. I'm 13 and my nose was in the book all the time. It is a sure page turner. I loved the

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: sabriel is exelent
Review: sabriel is a wonderfull novel it is a exelent veiw of how the world would react if their was magic in a modern world. i also enjoyed how the hero of the book was a girl. its only fault was how it was confusing at first but in the end it really was one of the few exelent fantisy books

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sabriel-by Garth Nix
Review: Sabriel is an exellent novel for Young Adults. Sabriel's father, a necromancer, is trapped in death and Sabriel must travel into the magical Old Kingdom to rescue him. Along the way she encounters many dead creatures she must destroy. Traveling with her are the Prince of the Old Kingdom and a Free Magic creature bound to her will named Mogget. In the end Sabriel must destroy the dead adept that is planning to, and in a way already has, wreak havoc upon the Old Kingdom and the rest of the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't Put it Down!
Review: This might be the only time I can say this, but I read the book through 3 times before I finally put it down. I read it through breakfast, lunch, dinner and finally got so tired at 1:00 am I had to sleep.

All the perils Sabriel faces makes me feel like my own life is much easier. She gets chased by undead beings, wades into the many depths of Hell, feels the broken energy of Charter stones, but still manages to keep her cool.

Nix's rhythmic writing is powerful and spellbinding. He uses such capturing words that you are sucked into the world.

This was my favorite book until I read Shade's Children (Garth Nix's other sci-fi/fantasy thriller). No matter how many times I read it, Sabriel still gives me prickly (yes, prickly)skin.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Slow Start...but...
Review: I admit it kinda started out slow...but it ended with a bang! The book was perfect! I love the characters and the world that Garth Nix has created in Sabriel, it's sequel: Lirael, and the upcoming book Abhorsen. I can think of one word that explains Garth Nix ideas...perfect.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Book
Review: Sabriel is a book of an adventure few dream about. Rising dead using charter marks and spells. It's the story of an 18 year oldgirl headingout to save her father wielding her fathers sword,charter marks, and bells that show who she is, a necro mancer she journeys to save her father.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Sariel is the best book I have ever read. It has and will be my all time favorite book. I could read it a million times and never get tired. Nix is a master of writing and keeps yoou hanging on the edge. I was hooked the moment I opened the cover. Have a great time reading it (trust me, you will want to)!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not just for kids...
Review: If you're put off by the "fact" that this book is written for "children and young adults" - don't be. I'm looking at a 1977 edition of "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K LeGuin, which is, according to the publisher "for readers of eleven or older".

Garth Nix is a good writer whose books are accessible by children as well as by adults - this is something to be applauded. Sabriel is an original classic and I'm looking forward to the sequels.

Check out Shade's Children for an equally-spooky but different premise entirely...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sabriel
Review: a very very good book-- slow reading in the beginning but definitely worth reading.
