Great for adults, use discretion for tweens, not appropriate for children
Again, a lot of "minor" curse words and one gd word. Plot was excellent, but would have been just ass good without the language.

Love It! Cant Wait to Finish!
Oh my gosh what can I say? This was wonderful! I love all the characters, the story, the everything. It just keeps getting better and better. Yes, I must admit, since it is a fan based book, it gets a little obvious where Miss Clare gets her ideas from. But i don't care anyway because I love this series.There are some good twists and turns. It's a page turner, and you'll be flipping through to get to the last book. Actually, i already started it, so my I'll be reveiwing that one soon. Anything to worry about? Nothing really, unless you freak out about a vampire craving blood and well, a girl who is madly in love with her brother, who's relationship somehow someway, will to work out. Trust me,these books are SO worth reading!!

Modern Literature
This book is wonderfully written, using a wide variety of sentence structures and delicious words. While this book my include homosexuality, gore and a hint of incest, they're all things that your child is going to grow up around anyway (blame your generation for the state of ours). Not only is it well written, this book has an intricate plot, believable characters and a logical conclusion to everything. It's a must read for EVERYBODY!

Hurrah!
This was one of the many sequels That could be read and re-read on it's own. It may be a bit more violent (SPOILER ALERT) because of Sebastian, but it was amazing

Fans will be finding themselves reading into the hours of the night in this intense thriller
Loved it. It had suspense to the MAX!!! It was however, very violent, way more than City of bones. All in all, it was a little better than City of Bones. Amazing!!
