This review is going to be only in English , sorry guys, but The Named wasn’t translated in Italian and I don’t think it could ever be- since it was published in 2002- (this is an excuse to start reading books in English, what are you waiting for, then?).Questa recensione sarà soltanto in inglese, mi dispiace ragazzi, ma The Named non è stato tradotto in italiano e non credo che mai lo sarà – dato che è stato pubblicato nel 2002- (questa è una scusa per iniziare a leggere i libri in i [...]

Reread August 2 to 7, 2015 for #fivefavesMaybe more of a 3.5/5 stars. NOT SURE.Well I still really liked this book, but I'm not sure if I can count it in one of my faves anymore. I still really love the story and overall concept - they are so unique and wonderful that it's hard NOT to love them. However the writing is so SO bad. It's something I definitely wouldn't have noticed as much years ago, but it's really bad. The character development is definitely lacking as well, and the characters bei [...]

This time rereading it I noticed this book is really funny which I havent thought about before.Love the different pov`s chapters in this book.If you havent read this trilogy yet you really should. It has multiple povs, timetravelling,and lots of twist. Love stories that arent forced.

The first half of this book was just like all the other YA paranormals that I’ve grown so tired of - teenagers in class, passing notes, grumpy teachers, girl & boy working together, one with a crush on the other. Depressing home lives, parent and sibling issues, blah blah. Not a lot actually happens at first, but I could see where it was going and was quickly falling into eye-rolling mode, fighting boredom and frustration. How many times have I seen these clichés play out by now?When I pi [...]

Very adventurous, a definite page turner.It had me wanting more after each chapter, i literally could not put this book down.The characters are a fine set all with their own personality.My only complaint is that they were not defined much, as in, i had no idea how they looked like. At times Curley would describe a few of their qualities, but not enough to get a strong image. If anything, all i got a good image of was when they turned into someone else. Arkarian is my favorite character along wit [...]

I got this from the library when I was about 11 or 12, and took it on holiday with me. I remember devouring it and wanting to go home from my holiday, purely so I could read the next one. I still love the series now, and re-read them every so often. They're a quick and easy read, and the story is gripping. If you're a fan of history, the books are especially appealing. I also liked that one of the main characters shared my name ;)

This book was fantastic! "The Named" is a great time travel book: exciting, magical, historical, and had a bit of romance. It was a little confusing in places, but overall it was a great page turner that will have you scrambling for the rest of the trilogy.

This book was awesome! It involved time travel, drama, and mystery. I really enjoy books that aren't predictable. I just pulled this off the shelf not expecting much, and would really enjoy reading the others. It kept me going and I read it in three days.

4,5 tan 5 puan,Karakterlerin yaşları ilk sorun bence. İkincisi ise de, ki bu benden kaynaklanıyor, -kitabı daha önce okuduğum için- bazı yerlerde sıkılmam ve ne olacağını anlamamdı.

So I finished the book and I certainly enjoyed the time that I was reading it, but I feel that this only deserves 3 stars because anything higher should be reserved for particularly good work. This was candy. But the candy tasted a little bitter because with such an intriguiging concept, the execution was a bit of a disappointment. There could have been so many interesting theames explored with the idea of how tightly interwoven events in space-time are. But it often seemed like the timetravel a [...]

This book is one of the best books you'll ever read. I just finished the second one, The Dark, and it was even better than the first--if that's possible. Anyway, I am off to read the third and I highly recommend this to everyone, especially fans of sci-fi, mystery, fiction and fantasy.

I was really excited about this book got such a high rating and seemed like such a fantastic premise. Maybe that's why it seemed to fall short. Ethan is a Guardian of Time; he travels to the past in order to keep evil denizens from the Order of Chaos from changing it, thus affecting the future. Of course Ethan's only a teenager, but he's already very good at what he does. So the Guard decides to test him by giving him the willful Isabel as his new apprentice. But Isabel's initiation brings a who [...]

This book is the literary equivalent of Chinese food. You really enjoy it sometimes, you share it with friends who enjoy it too, and an hour later you forget it because it didn't really satisfy you in some fundamental way. The better attributes of the book are the greater-than-average number of ideas included in the plot and the fantasy elements. Interesting choices of destinations in time and historical figures to meet (not the obvious choices) set the book apart right away. Then the descriptio [...]

Once again Marianne Curley had me from hello! This book starts out with a bang and ends pretty much the same way! I was glued to the book and didn't want to put it down.The main character Ethan is my favorite. Isabelle runs a close second but Ethan is who stole my heart. I love the time travel! Going back in time to make sure all goes as planned. It's a great and different concept that was a nice break from vampires, werewolves and all other supernatural reads.I already have "The Dark" so I'm lo [...]

4 cups of tea read. This was a fun book that kept me reading.Ethan can travel back in time and has been trained since he was 4. Now he is being given an apprentice and has few weeks train her, this leads to a fun fast paced story,At first I found the perspective a bit hard to get used to but by page 50 i was used to it and i am glad i stuck it out. I did feel that the characters and the world could have been built up abit more(view spoiler)[ i found ethans and isabels back stories to be so sad a [...]

I can not put this series down. It is so interesting. The characters are real and I love the story. I am always on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. I like that you get to see into two charcters minds. It is such a great book. Easy to understand and fun to figure out.

Pensé que este libro me iba a encantar y que la historia seria super interesante ya que era una recomendación que llego a mi pero la verdad es que me aburrí a mares y lo único que hice con el fue cabecear.y es que no se que paso, tiene muchos de los elementos que me suelen gustar en las historias pero aveces se me hacia tan obvio y predecible que bahhh simpatice con los personajes ni con su trama lastimosamente.

3,5'tan 4. Dili beklediğimden aşırı sade bir kitaptı. Zaten kitabı ilk gördüğüm zamanı hatırlıyorum da, 13 yaşımdaydım, Tudem'in çocuk kataloglarından birindeydi. Yine de bu kadar sade olmasını beklemiyordum, bir yandan aradığım şeydi, bir yandan da cümlelerin o sadeliği ve yüklemlerin geçmiş zaman eklerinin kafiyeleri beni deli etti.Haricinde konusu zaman yolculuğu. Biraz bana konusu Yakuz Kırmızı üçlemesini hatırlattı. Tabii ki bu seri ondan daha eski ve de [...]

I will have to say that I was pretty disappointed with this book. The back cover promised to portray a story of excitement and romance which was quite misleading. The premise of the story was excellent, but the delivery was flat. The characters are not fully developed and the connections between characters are also not explored to satisfaction. Time travel isn’t real, and the author did a good job of remind me of that while reading. None of it seemed to transcend reality: the characters, plot, [...]

It was a bit odd at first i felt rushed into the whole excitement and worried that it would get worse. The beginning was off-putting but it quickly saved itself. The beginning was quite predictable but once i felt like i knew the whole book it flipped in a matter of seconds. It has a great story and i'm excited to see what else will be done with the idea. I do love how everything is far from perfect and characters are tested and its just all really great. I hope it only gets better from hereI'm [...]

Intriguing plot. Brilliant ideas of a new world. An ending somewhat satisfied. BUT The world building is lacking The explanation on time, on the 2nd world and on how things come to be is not very well done. We get to know things on the surface,and I hate that! I like to know everything there is to know and more. The character's development is also lacking for lots of characters. So far, Ethan the main boy is the only one I like, mostly because his actions made senses. The rest, they aren't rea [...]

I liked the concept, and the historical element was fun. The characters were interesting, and I especially liked Arkarian, Isabel and Ethan, in that order.However, I felt the prose seemed to be aimed at a younger audience, and it would go from being very simplistic to extremely intricate plot devices at the drop of a hat. The imagery was good, but sometimes I felt lost rather than in the moment. Also, everyone has a soul-mate, and they're all conveniently going to find each other. Hmm.I just was [...]

This is a YA book, first of 3, even though it seems there should be one before it. Its about boy who witnessed his sisters abduction by a monster, who turns out to be his father's partner turned rouge in a group called Gaurdian of Time. A group of people with supernatural abilities fight against the evil goddess who wants to change history so she can rule the world. I really liked this book, it was entertaining and kept me in suspense, even the sappy romantic stuff in it. Very well written and I [...]

This book was just okay for me. The basic premise--guarding history through going back in time and thwarting attempts to change it--was interesting, but the motives of those seeking to change history were not believable, and the characters seemed superficial. Absent of any surprises and turns, the plot was predictable. All in all it was a pleasant read but that is similar to labeling one's new hairstyle "different" or "interesting".

All in all it was pretty good, but the ending was confusing and it didn't answer the right questions that I had asked. Also it was pretty slow getting going too, it didn't start into action until almost 1/4 of the way through. It didn't catch my attention very well. But it did have some good portions in the middle and towards the end, it was alright.
