Wow, why listen to a 50 year old who isn't effected by these books?
I am Hollie. I am 16 and on my mom's account. Let me tell you, from a true 16 year old, that this book is not that bad. It didn't make me want to sneek boys into my room without my parents' knowledge and then have sex with them. This is a romance story and I loved it. I really did. In my opinion, the parents that are on here saying that there is too much sex and love, need to learn how to raise their kids better, because if they sneek boys into their rooms and have sex with them, it isn't because they read about it in a book. It is because the parent needs to do a better job at talking with their kids. Just to let you know I have read this book 5 times all the way through, and I loved it! This is coming from a true 16 year old girl. That's who you should listen to. Not the parents on here that think reading about sex in a book will make their kid go get pregnant.

WATCH OUT PARENTS!!!
As a high school English teacher I was shocked, disappointed and actually horrified at the glamorization and romantization of inappropriate sexual behavior between these teenagers. What are you reviewers thinking about using the word "tastefully"? There is no such thing as tasteful sex between teenagers. Have we all lost our minds these days?

Beautiful, enthralling piece of literature.
This book is, hands down, beyond the slightest shred of a doubt, the most breathtaking, beautiful, solemn, heartbreaking piece of literature gold that I have ever beheld in my entire life. More so than Harry Potter, Maximum Ride, Silverwing, Julie of the Wolves, and Warriors put together. It has struck me to the core, more moving than any melody, lyric, or song that I have heard. In its entirety, this book is beyond comprehensive thought. I cannot express in words how I feel about this book. The writing has a smooth, lyrical flow, but the story in itself is complex. Fans are calling it the "new Twilight", but it is so much more than that. Twilight was literature junk - Shiver is the most beautiful book I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

Perfectly paced romance story! Never read anything like it!
I'd really loved this book because it's not one of those books that's got loads of action and you can't keep up with everything. It's nicely paced but not that there's nothing going on. A really lovely, kinda sad, romance story. Not the average, boy meets girl story. Grace has been watching the wolf in the woods behind her house for years. But then she meets Sam who reminds her of her wolf. The struggle that they go through is what makes the book brilliant! They don't have much time together either which makes you fall in love with the character fast! Well worth the read.

Good for mature tweens. Great for teens.
Shiver is an excellently planed out book. It had me reading its pages every chance I got. If you're under 13 you should know that Grace and Sam do have sex and that Sam's parents tried to murder him. This is not so much a romance novel but a little bit about the story of an abused child. Also, there is some swearing here and there and a little bit of violence.

What was Ms. Stiefvater Thinking
This book is totally not on for kids 13+. The youngsters that read this book should know that sex is a bad thing to do at seventeen and eighteen. Also that they should never be like these horrible people that Ms. Stiefvater has written about. The few pages in the book that had the part where Grace and Sam had sex was not supposed to be in a preteen to young adult book. There are no details, which I guess is good, but they still aren't good role models. Their language is not okay for a thirteen year-old, though. The message that this book the Ms. Stiefvater has written sends out the message is that it is perfectly save to have boys sleep in your bed without your parents permission and have sex with them and that message is not okay. What was Ms. Stiefvater thinking. Wtiting a book with that type of material in a book for preteens, teens and young adults. It just infuriates me that some human beings are just so daft. Those are the only comments from MizKitty!!!

Scared ,about the DEATH of WOLVES
I think that the book is okay but it does have a few swear words within the book but i think it still has a good imagination in the book but i doesn't make sense if the book is called shiver and there are wolves in it then why does it keep on going back to school and home.

Ehh...
This book is really predictable, and to be honest, a let-down. It's well written, but it's just a fluffy romance. This website is horribly mistaken by labeling this as "horror." As the only horror this book contains is the predictable, done many times over plot. If you're looking for a girl meets boy, boy and girl fall for each other insanely rapidly book, with the occasional beautified "werewolf" thrown in, I guess this would be your book.

 
Overall a very enjoyable book
This book has to be one of my favorites. It seems like it has a better execution then twilight.Besides the sex scene(it was done off 'camra'"), overall the age rate on this website is on target. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a good supernatural romance, without things going too overboard.
