While written for young adults an "old" adult would enjoy this fascinating story. My daughter enjoyed it too, and we love that it has a heroine and not just a hero!<br /><a href="http://www.housecleaning-maidservice-nj.com/brick_maid_service.php" rel="nofollow">Highly recommended Brick NJ maid service website</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-2469597719483910242012-03-15T15:01:30.425-06:002012-03-15T15:01:30.425-06:00Just finished it--thanks for recommending this boo...Just finished it--thanks for recommending this book to me Kim! It was a quick read because I couldn't put it down after a few chapters. Fascinating, those water horses! I like the setting and have always connected with having a horse for a true friend. One word describes for me what this book is wrapped up in-loyalty. I ejoyed it very much!Dolls by Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980727623452761982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-40428668959765536982012-01-25T19:13:02.306-07:002012-01-25T19:13:02.306-07:00I just requested this book from my library.

You're right--the village in Waking Ned Devine is just how I imagine Thisby! Now I need to watch Waking Ned...<br /><br />@Amy: You know, I'm jealous of you that you're reading it now, for the first time. Even though I plan on re-reading it in the near future, there's nothing like that first-time read. ENJOY IT!

I can't believe Thisby isn't real. I envisioned Thisby as the same kind of close-knit hamlet in "Waking Ned Devine" with it's zany, colorful characters.

On her blog, Maggie Stiefvater has an interview with the actors from the audiobook, and the Sean actor's voice makes Sean even more swoonworthy, if such a thing is possible.pienoreply@blogger.com
