Customer Reviews

Shadows on the Moon a long painful search.

When I first read this book I was in freshman year of high-school and ended up looking at the cover and getting intrigued. However I found myself beginning and never finishing the book. With many reasons why. I didn't have enough time during this period of my life as well as getting so unbelievably frustrated with some of the characters. I went through a long tough search to find this book whixh I had forgotten the name and even most details of the cover. I vaguely remembered the story and ended up finding it after a month of searching. I re-read the book and quickly found why I had stopped reading it. However I was determined to keep reading after my long tedious search. And I could not be happier that i did. The book had twist and turns that left me with heartache and joy. The type of book where you wanna scream and throw across the room. But also want you to keep reading and hope so desperately that the main character will listen to you. I have not experienced a sensation of love, hate, and frustration in a book in such a long time. I am entirely pleased with how this book made me feel and think. And found myself unwilling ro put it down. At times I wanted to get done quicker so I could find out how it all ended up. But also wanted to savor the feelings it gave me and make the whole book last. I have read many books and this one is high up on my top 10.
