The main story behind this book is two gangs’ rivalries. This story was unlike any other I had ever read. This book was exciting to read, and I was sad when it ended. The characters are so realistic, that you feel really connected to them.

Rating: Really liked it.

The Fallen series by Lauren Kate are very mysterious yet intriguing books. These books have a little bit of everything in them such as battles between good and evil,angels,and demons. The most intriguing of them all,the power of love. Read the first book and couldn't wait to start the others. Great book for young readers.

I would recommend this to: Young adults

In most stories the characters have an inner turmoil that continues throughout the story and really slows it down. In this book the characters have a problem but the author doesn't just make tht the main conflict in the story. Its a well thought out story tht has a lot of twists and turns. Its slow at first but once you read further you get into it. I like the world building, she does a good job. I also like the way she doesn't make the characters perfectly good or totally bad, she makes them human. I like the way she reveals the complicated plan or resoultion in the end.

I would recommend this to: Historical fiction readers
