Customer Reviews

My first favotite book I read it 5 times!!

When I was in Elementary school I read it 5 times. It's inthrolling. The ending is hazy but the more you read it the more you get it.It was a great book, I loved it!!

The first book I really fell in love with...

This is a wonderful introduction to the fantasy genre, based on the Scottish ballad "Tam Lin." It's the story of Janet, who falls in love with Tom Linn, the mortal favorite of the Queen of the Fairies. Carrying Tom's child, Janet is forced to enter the fairy realm in order to rescue her lover. The book is entrancing, reading almost like a dream. The plot resolution, however, is a little too dream-like and seems a little jumbled. All in all, though, a great read.
