great book. the only problem is getting past the hints of incest. but all is not what it seems. i throughly enjoyed this series and have recommended it to several people. the characters are easily identifiable. makes a smooth read and hard to put down. the author makes the book easy to get lost in. i would love to see these books made into movies. all the different underworlders and their lives kept my interest and couldn't put the books down. i love how she handled the gay issue with alex. the situations were described perfectly for him as if she witnessed the situation herself. i have read other books where gay issues were not written well and not realistic for what a gay man goes through. but this was. my hats off to the author for a great book.
I was in a bookstore are saw that Stephenie Meyer (Twilight series) recommended this book so I figured I'd try it. I was caught up in the story, characters, and the action by the first chapter. I didn't expect to like the book or continue the series but it was one of the few times in my life that a book has driven me to read it and forget all else. I am no kid either, I'm in my 40s. This book has nonstop action and a world I'd love to be in. Worth the read and there are only three books in the series and each one gets even better. Science fiction, fantasy, romance, family drama, and even other issues effecting today's teens are covered. Happy reading.
I was excited to start this series after reading The Clockwork Series. It is just as good.

If you enjoy reading, I highly recommend The City of Bones. It is the first book of the Mortal Instruments series. I have read all six books of this series and am now starting the Infernal Devices. The author is wonderful. All are great reads.
Absolutely fantastic book and series....riviting...keeps you wanting more. As an amature student of theology and a wiccan/pagan..I found traces of many of my studies in New Age writings which do not exclude the writings of christianity. Absolutely readable. Well done. Sure to get kids reading and adults reading again.
