Customer Reviews

I didn't know God himself wrote books!

This book is by FAR my favorite book of all time. Kaitlyn Fairchild is my new favorite female character. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings... Yeah, they don't hold a candle to L.J. Smith's Dark Visions Collector's Edition. Personally, I am AMAZED that this book doesn't get more recognition than it currently does. I would enjoy it more than life itself if this book became a movie. I'm actually telling all my friends about it. I am not much of a reader... at all... But this book... This book made me cry, made me laugh, made me think hard on certain subjects... everything. I loaned my copy to a friend in hopes of getting her hooked on it too. I have read and re-read this book, time and time again, for years. It never gets old. Smith's vivid descriptions of surroundings and characteristics give me a good mental image of all her characters. I am seriously thinking about getting her other books. In fact, I will. Read this book. If you think you knew what a good book is... you haven't read anything until you read this.

Dark Visions: The Strange Power, the Possessed, the Passion

I had read several of L.J.Smith's Nightworld series when I read Dark Visions, and I was immediately spellbound. The characters were all well-developed and very appealing - you cared what happened to them. Of course, Gabriel was my favorite. There's something so appealing about a bad boy in need of salvation. I read the whole thing through in one sitting and then sat down and read it through again. I would recommend it for anyone interested in the unknown, in coming-of-age books, or just interested in a good read.

Fantasitic! Smith's Best Work!

This novel follows the adventures of five physcic both blessed and cursed because of their power. Rob is the healer, Anna manipulates animals, Lewis is the quick talking "mind over matter" guy, Gabriel, the physic vampire, and Kaitlyn , the witch.Five teens invited to live together in a purple mansion called "The Insitute", to inhance their powers and be given the scholarship of a life time. And who would be so kind as to do this? Mr.Zetes.Of course there's a catch. Whe the five learn of the Insitutes horribl past they realise their lives are in danger and they have to escape. But there is no where to hide that they can't be found.This book is a real page turner. Gabriel, Lewis and Kaitlyn are fantastic, belivable characters. Gabriel and his interactions with Kait truely are the highlight of the novel. He is a bad guy who grows a strong but unwanted relationship to a headstrong witch. Witty remarks, believable characters and a thrilling "love triangle" all contribute to this clever and romantic science fiction thriller.*But the title page really doesen't do the book justice.*

The Best Yet!

This book was so good! I am so glad i bought the collector's edition, with all the books together! i couldn't put it down! I read all like 700 pgs. in 2 days! You can't resist falling in love with Gabriel's dark personality! I definitely recommend this book to all other L.J. Smith fans out there! Or just all readers in general! It's a great book!

A definite must-read!

This was the first series by L.J. Smith that I had ever read, and now I've read the Forbidden Game and Night World and Secret Circle series. What I love about these books was, although good does triumph over evil (as always) it was nice to see dark triumph over light. If you don't get what I mean, then you have to read the book. Then I'm sure you'll agree. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK.
