Rating:  Summary: smithys review. Review: Five stars are not enough. I'd give it a thousand if I could! But since I am limited to only five, I suppose five will have to do. :)Sabriel manages to take its readers into a deep unknown world, so unlike the other fantasy worlds we've visited so many times in different books. Sabriel is an original. It is purely the idea of Garth Nix and no other. It would be difficult to find another fantasy novel such as this. Sabriel carries no similarities to that of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, therefore making each new page and chapter a new and interesting read. The language itself is graceful and descriptive, making it superior to all other fatasty novels I have read. Sabriel is a modern fantasy classic that can be enjoyed by all readers, both the young and old.
Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: I really loved this book.It was exelent with all the myterious characters like Touchstone,it's an awesome adventure with many twists and new challenges for Sabriel to overcome.I do have to admit though that they wouldn't stop runnig into the dead...it gets a little bit tyring after a while.I also think that the ending was a bit sudden...Touchstone and Sabriel don't even kiss at the end witch i thought was unusual(at the end of most books i read there is a looooooooooooong kiss at the end).And there was one part i could not understand,what was Touchstone really doing with the maid at the hotel that they stay at.But as i said before i loved all the characters...as specialy Touchstone because I'm a big fan of twin swordsmanship.I also like Mogget for his arogence.He was really funny but i preferd him as the cat not the firey monster thing.But all these things made up a great book in the end(at least i think so)and i loved it.Good job mister Nix a great accomplishment.
Rating:  Summary: Sabriel Review: Most magic books imitate each other, with the same classic plot. Sabriel is wonderfully different, featuring a young necromancer called Sabriel, whose father, Abhorsen, has been trapped in the realm of Death. Accompanied by a familiar-like animal called Mogget, presently in the form of a cat, and a confused young man whom Mogget calls Touchstone, Sabriel travels in the place called the Old Kingdom, hoping to reunite herself with her father. Pursued by several nasty Dead creatures, Sabriel is exciting, interesting, and believable. This is a fine novel that holds the power to transport you into another world, one that you will want to visit again and again.
