Summary: The Best Book Since Harry Potter
Review: This book is a combination of adventure and fantasy mixed into a perfect mix. I read this book and continued reading the sequal Lireal: Daughter of the Clayr. Garth Nix puts the book into a interesting read and interesting book. Read this book and you will re-read it because of the goodness of it.

Summary: A REALLY GREAT BOOK
Review: I really thought that this was a great book and have really enjoyed it. I liked it so much that I had to go get the second one so that I could be happy. I almost didn't like the idea that Sabriel went into Death but it was okay. I really enjoyed this book though he could have left a few of the sex parts out.

Summary: This book is Garth Nix's best, a must read.
Review: This book rocks, it's a great fantasy novel with a good amount of action, fantasy, romance, I loved it, I couldn't stop reading it, it has believable characters and a great storyline plus there are 2 more books in this trilogy though the next two mostly follow Sabriel's children which is kind of dissapointing but they are good books, Lirael and the third book Abhorsen.

Summary: Tim Curry is FANTASTIC & SUPERB!
Review: I read this book and found it a little hard to get through in spots, but I really wanted to appreciate the details and learn more of the story I felt I'd "slept" through so I picked Sabriel up on audiotape at the library.
WOW!!!!! Tim Curry brings this wonderful tale to LIFE! His reading is superb and for the first time in my life I know the meaning of the term "spine-tingling". When he read the end I could feel the little hairs on the back of my neck and a chill rise up my spine.

Summary: Very, very cool
Review: Sabriel was one of the most imaginative books I have ever read. There were so many new concepts it made my head spin and it was so spooky and gripping that I had to read the last hundred or so pages all at once.
Sabriel is a college girl who has a very unusual father; his job is to control and get rid of dead things that invade the world of the living. But when Sabriel finds out her father is in serious trouble, she has to go on a long journey to rescue him. At the same time, she has to adopt her father's responsibilities and is constantly evading or fighting dead things throughout the story.
One thing I really liked about this book was the descriptive work. Just about anything that wasn't alive, the author was VERY in-depth about describing, and it made my spine tingle to imagine these horrible creatures. There were a few slow parts and the climax and the very end were not what I expected, but in retrospect this book was definitely, unquestionably worth my time. HOWEVER, the book's two sequels which I have also read are very BORING. Lirael was awful, Abhorsen was a little better, but Sabriel was a billion times better than both. Anyone interested, I advise you to just read this book and stop there.

Summary: Super cool
Review: I was very hesitant when I first bought this book, thinking it was just some spin-off of all the other sci-fi books that have recently become popular, but much to my delight it wasn't! I'm a big fan of Tolkein and Lewis, but Nix is in a totally different catagory and it's just cool. Some parts are pretty dark for younger readers, but he writes so elequently and vividly that I was just addicted to it on the first page. As soon as I knew I loved Sabriel, I ran out and bought Lirael and Abhorson, and I am elated with the finds! Get this book because it is well worth it!

Summary: Great Read!
Review: I would highly recommend this book to someone who enjoys fantasy and a bit of sci-fi. This book was recommended to me and I could not put it down. I am ordering the rest of the books today. A young women may be the main character but that does not make this a "prissy" book. A great read for anyone over the age of 12.

Summary: Stunning!
Review: From the mystery-shrouded prologue to the happy ending, Garth Nix holds us in his Charter-spell with Sabriel.At a girls' boarding school in modern Ancelstierre, 18-year-old Sabriel gets a message that her father, a sort-of necromancer called Abhorsen, is in trouble. She ventures into her native land, the Old Kingdom, where there is plenty of good Charter-magic but no modern technology. She realizes she must take her father's place as the Abhorsen and fight the evil Kerrigor. Armed with her magical, Charter-marked sword and her necromancer's bells, she sets out to find her father. On the way, she meets many enemies, but also steadfast friends in a man nicknamed Touchstone and a cat named Mogget. (Well, Mogget's steadfast only as long as his collar's on... read the book to find out why.) Garth Nix can do it all. He creates a wonderful, breathtaking plot that will keep this book glued open, facing your eyes. He describes a new world filled with magic both good and horribly evil. And he breathes life into three unforgettable characters: the clever, unpredictable Mogget, the endearing and persistent Touchstone, and of course Sabriel herself. If you want a superb high fantasy story that will leave you breathless, Sabriel is for you.

The plot and point was good, with the 9 gates of death. some stuff i still dont understand. anyways, overall its exciting and interesting. cant wait for lirael and abhorsen! .:sam:.
