My Review: First off....GO BUY THIS BOOK NOW!!!
Sorry about all my outbursts but i mean it, if you haven't read this book you need to. Not a good enough reason? *sighs* oh well guess that was to be expected. OK here is my long drawn out reason why you need to read Beautiful Creatures .
Beautiful Creatures is one of those stories that you wait out in the rain for. It's one of those books that naturally become a phenomenon because of how utterly compelling and genuine the story is.
Thinking outside of the box. That is another one of those things i love about books, when there completely unpredictable. And Beautiful Creatures was just that. Bringing a whole new level and meaning to witches and magic (excuse me) in beautiful creatures their called 'Casters'.
I really loved how the story is told from a male point of view. It seems as if there are a million different young adult books but only a handful are from a guys point of view. (what's up with that?)
I read Beautiful Creatures in one sitting, it took me a total of four hours to read the whole thing and then i read it again. I just couldn't put it down and from the first sentence i was hooked.
Now, what you need to do is read Beautiful Creatures and see for yourself what an amazing story it is.
......highly anticipating Beautiful Darkness the second book in the Caster Chronicles as you can see over there -----> in my sidebar I'm counting the days.
