Oh. My. God. Beautiful Creatures is not just a book, it is a piece of art! Brilliant, beautiful (get it, because of the.... oh never mind), amazing, and all other words that mean something extremely perfect, in every way.

Light: I loved the world the authors created so much. I think I am going to have to venture off and find Gatlin county myself because if I can't live there all the time, what is the point really? The characters, how can I describe them without seeming like a creepy stalker... oh I've got it, they were amazing! Writing was so brilliantly woven together that you couldn't even tell that two writers were involved in this book. Another thing I loved was that the story was told from the point of view of a guy, which is so uncommon in modern young adult literature. The southern aspect of the plot was so intoxicating that I actually found myself speaking with a slight Carolina twang every once in a while, much to the dismay of my peers.

Dark: Um... the evil casters. I don't really know what to put here because I didn't really dislike anything about this book. People had told me that the first half was slow, but I never found a dull moment in this book.

Beautiful Creatures set up the rest of the 4 book epic, The Caster Chronicles with such beauty that simply cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series, starting with the next book, Beautiful Darkness.
