Out of the Dark World

Out of the Dark World was an "okay" book. Most of my friends who have read it, thought it was good, basically all of them. I personally didn't like it because I thought it got a little boring at times, but it was exciting considering there was magic involved, etc. From a 1-5 rating I would rate it a 4 because there were times where I got bored and I don't really like these kinds of books. I would recommend this book to anyone who is able to keep their attention to a book, and a person who will read a book even if it has to do with magic. Which, I think, makes it funner. It's mainly just about Sue and Meg and how they use magic to go to the "Dark World," and end up doing some pretty weird things. It's very exciting and overall, I enjoyed this book.

One of the Best

Grace Chetwin, where have you gone, with your wonderful tales and vivid images? You changed a young girl's life with your stories, and I yearn for more.In this novel, the whole concept of computers and the precursor to the Internet (BW: Before Windows) is played out, and it's a fabulous tale. Think Tron without the bad acting/images/costumes. Better yet, don't think Tron. Anyways, what I love about this book is that Chetwin uses relaxation and hypnotism techniques that work in real life to help the heroine go into this other-realm of the Shadow world to save a boy trapped inside the confines of a computer-ish land, trapped by magic. It's absolutely wonderful, I still use those relaxation techniques to this day, the story is enchanting and the library cover was mesmerizing. Please find it and read it.
