Customer Reviews

Wrong cover!

One of my fav books... I've read it in one day... I just couldn't put it down... Mrs Cooney sure knows how to use words and phrases right!!! A very nice job. But I think that the cover of the book is not what it should be..

The strager

This was a great book, although it was rather confusing at times the plot continued to keep the reader intriuged. The discriptive languge and great charecter discriptions make this a remarkable read. The plot follows a girl, Nicoletta, through a tough time in her life after being kicked out of the madrigals, her singing group. She is forced to take art apreciation and there she meets an incredibly intriguing boy, Jethro. But Nicoletta can't help wonder, what is his secret??

I just finished this book and I thought it was one of the best books I ever read! I read it in one night. I am shocked that anyone could even consider putting this book down! How dare someone insult such a wonderful book! Read it for yourself and you'll understand why I liked it so much.

The STRANGER is Great!

I had read The Stranger about 2 years ago, and I remember it as only being excellent. It shows that love can overthrow even ugliness, and that it is everlasting.
