Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I absolutely love this series. Not to be that person, but if you were introduced by the TV show, don't expect the same of the books--its a completely different vibe. The TV show is dark fantasy, the books are more moralistic. Which brings me to the reason I love these books: with a world of books telling you that you're secretly special or the chosen one, this book dares to say "you're probably not that special, and that's okay." These books helped me when I was feeling like my life was over when I went from top of the academic world to having to stop going to college and be admitted into a mental institution for a while. I will be forever grateful to the nurse who recommended these books to me.
