The illustrations are beautiful and really help to set the scene. I like the writing tips for young writers. I give it 10 out of 10. Megan, 12 After eight years of heartache, can anyone love again? Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was persuaded that her family's honour was more important than her own happiness. She has suffered ever since. Now the man she turned away has returned.

This is one of the scariest books I've ever read. I loved it! Maryanne, 12 The blackness of eternal night encompassed me. The intense darkness oppressed and stifled me so that I struggled for breath.
