Inspiring

Into the land of the unicorns is one of the best books I have ever read. It inspires me and literally takes me away from my world. I feel like a part of the book and it's a part of me.........SERIOUSLY! I loved the book and suggest it to be read by not just kids, but by adults too. The book inspired me to start writing my own book, even though I am only 12 years old. But its not only me who loved the book, but my father too. He and I would read it together and talk about it. I really recommend this book to persons of all ages.

A Classic

I read this book in the third grade and have reread it a dozen times since. I love the different creatures, the creative stories, and the possibilities that this first book provides. And as it is a children's book, the poor writing must be forgiven. A warning, though: I would not recommend this book for a child under the age of 10 or so; the opening scenes are scary for young children and the father-daughter relationship is rather disturbing.

Not what you'd think...

When I bought this book in third grade, I expected a girly story about Unicorns. I only bought it as all my friends did, too. When I got it, I read a page, got distracted, and left it to collect dust for ages. When I was in seventh grade, I finally had the sense to give the book a shot. I am sooooo glad I did. It is NOT a girly book about unicorns- it is a well written fantasy with deep characters and an intriguing plot. The story moves at a perfect pace, and it is a book I adore. I believe the title is very misleading. It is a great story, and it is right up there with Ella Enchanted, The Immortals Quartet, Harry Potter, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, and The Changling Sea. Those are books you'd probably also enjoy if you enjoyed this.

The best ever!

This book is writen with enchanting grace. Into The Land of The Unicorns weaves a web of magic and captures its reader, holding them captive till the last page. It is the best book I have ever read and I will read it again and again, for it has won a special place in my heart.
