WOW!

Okay, after I read Space Demons I gave up hope of ever finding a book half as good as it. I was so lucky I'd happened to grab Skymaze off the library shelf too.It was even better than Space Demons. Maybe because there was a bit more romance. *Snicker* Actually, it was because it moved fast, moved smoothly, and was handled very well. It also kept me up until 3:00 in the morning. The way Skymaze affects the characters' actual lives is (in my opinion) a little more realistic than in Space Demons. It's a wonderful book, and there is no one I would tell not to read it. (Except the die-hard Harry Potter fans who don't WANT to get over their obsession.) However, as you ought not to play Skymaze until you've mastered Space Demons, you shouldn't read Skymaze until you've finished Space Demons.

One of the gretest books ever.

I found this book both weird and exciting,fantastically written and extremely hard to stop reading.We read Space Demons but Skymaze was even better.The book really sucks you in and has you on the edge of your seat at all times.The book captures the excitement and drama of love and friendship.This book is fantastic and definitely on top of my list of books to buy.I hope the sequel Shinkei is going to be just as good and I look forward to reading it.

I think everybody should have a copy of this book.

My name is Richard and I have read the great book 'Skymaze.' Skymaze is a wonderfully written book which would delight anybody who happened to pick it up. It has many twists in the plot which makes it an extremely good book to read. it is best suited to young adults. I think this book is real good because it is modern. Not like Roald Dahl's The Twits. It has many creative and interesting caractures which all are full of different emotions. I know lots of people, like me, who like this book and think it is just great!

A book that captures readers attention.

I think 'SkyMaze' is a cleverly written book. I read Space Demons first than SkyMaze. I can't wait for 'Shinkei'. So far, SkyMaze is the best book I have ever read before. When I read the book, I felt like I'm inside the book because it's really fantastic. I think Gillian's book's are the best. How did she got all these ideas about Dark Clouds and Pale Gaurdiance. And just imagine that, the game come from Japan. If it came alive, it would be cool. There's a really big accident in the book. Well if you want to find out more, you just have to read SkyMaze. But remember, before you read SkyMaze, read Space Demons first so you know what happened.

A clever book that captured the attention of school students

A cleverly written book that captivated the interests of the 11 and 12 year olds in my class. We read Space Demons first and then Skymaze and have been impressed by both of them. I personally find that the excitement and danger is nicely tempered by the description of the real life conflicts each of the characters go through - the book allows you the chance to have a breather in between the complexities of the maze. My students have enjoyed getting to know each of the characters and seem to consider them almost as their best friends too. We have spent a great deal of class discussion time analysing each of the characters motivations and feelings. Each of Gillian's books lend themselves to this type of thinking so these books are great for classroom teachers. We all eagerly look forward to reading the next book in the series - Shinkei.
