    Amazing.

    Ok, well, this is my first review, so be easy on me. I haven't read any of L.J. Smith's earlier novels. Not interested in vampires much anymore, so, yeah. But anyways, back to the review. I never expected so much about a game that is forbidden and takes you into the game, but in this trilogy, you not only are in the game, but in a whole other dimension, world. I read all three books in about, maybe, two days and a half. It was so fascinating, alluring, couldn't keep me to stay still. I loved all the characters (except I just couldn't get myself to like Tom), and of course I just loved Julian, the Shadow Man. I am 13, and couldn't go to sleep until 4am when the sun was peeking into my window, because I was scared of the dark. Of darkness. I hysterically laughed at myself, by the way. So, I just want to say that this book was, haunting, creative, and amazing. Ok, well, thanks for reading my first review... have a nice day(:

    Awesome

    This was the first time I have read an L.J. Smith novel. I loved it! Full of suspense and romance. The characters felt real and I just loved Julian--he made a wonderful teen bad boy. The story was fast paced and hard to put down. I read it in about a day. I hope to find more books like it. Now I will have to pick up her other books!

    This adventure is addicting

    I have read the series by L.J. Smith and I must say she is an awesome writer. This book kept me on my seat....it was full of adventure, thrilling. It is scary and tantilizing. I was hooked on this book from the beginning to the end. I devoured the book in two days. I could not put the book down. Jenny and her friends are on quite an adventure, but for some reason I really liked Julian. Even though he was a bad guy, and he put everyone through so much, you could tell that he truely loves Jenny. Jenny loves Tom, and Julian loves Jenny. Which guy is right for her? Who will she finally be with? I definately wasn't expecting the ending to end the way it did. The charcters are well written, and definately are relatable. If you want to curl up with a book that is full of romance, mystery and just thrilling things with unpredictable twists, read this book! You won't be sorry!

    one word........... AMAZING!

    This book was written by a true author. L.J. Smith's books are so good down to the last page! This book kept me going, i really felt like i was in the book! It also kept me on edge with all the action from Julian. This book was real to me, because it was sort of like my own nightmare coming to life. I recomend this book to everyone!

    I love L. J. Smith

    These books and many of L. J. Smith's other works were written when I was yonger and I am glad that they are re-printing them. This story is creepy, well written (most of L.J. Smith's are) and very hard to put down.

    If you are in the mood for romance, mystery and unpredictable twists I highly recomend reading this and other books writen by L.J. Smith. The best of her seires are: Night World, Secret Circle, Dark Visions, and Forbidden Game.

    got hooked!

    i must admit, the title didn'd really get me, i had it on my shelf for a year, until oneday i was so bored and decided to read it. and BANG!! i couldnt put it down. Its the best trilogy i've ever read. i would get told off by my parents because i was always reading it. The way L. J smith writes is amazing..i totally fell in love with julian, the way L. J Smith would describe him. Once i had finish reading the first book, i went straight to the library and borrowed the next two. i was hooked! My favorite one was the last series..it was sad but a really good ending. I was sad when i realised i've finished all three already..but it didnt stop me from reading it again. You just cant get sick of it!

    Omg ppl! Samplers are allways bad even i didint like the sampler but i love the book! Just becouse its not some boring old clasic love story dosint mean its not good! Nobody ever understands the fist few padges maybe even chapters! Now READ MY COMENT

    I cant beleve some ppl dont like it just becouse thay hvint made a moovie out of it yet. I thought it was very creative and mind bogeling. I cant stand it that ppl wont even give it a chance just becouse thay think the idea is stoopid. Naw i understand if you dont like that type of fantasticl books or if you thuoght the book to be boring but all i ask is that you give it a chance and dont dis the GAME.

    Forbidden or Unreachable?

    I thought this book was a little dry at times, but over all, I thought it was a very exciting story(: Sometimes I thought it wouldn't be possible for them to carry on the story, but I found it interesting how they kept adding new ideas. The twists and turns they put on reality from fantasy was incredible! This book brought so many new ideas to my head and made it so I had to think outside the box in order to understand what they were talking about.
    The authors language was unique... I couldn't see a teenage girl in this setting talking the way she did. It wasn't crude or offending, just a little old for her age. It made her sound intelligent, but it seemed a little odd to me so I got a little sick of the book.
    Most of the things in the book aren't really life changing skills, like how to capture spirits in a closet, but there were a few here and there that made me wonder.... Like when Julian says that the only real difference between fantasy and reality is the way that you look at them. That was a brain teaser for a minute, but when I actually sat down and thought about it, it made sense and actually kinda freaked me out for a little bit.
    I would recommend this book to anyone. It's got a lot of love scenes in it, but that's the whole reason for this book. A forbidden love that is just barely out of reach... By only a couple realms:P A lot of this book is about using your head and finding loop holes out of difficult situations even when you think there are none. And knowing the difference between reality and fantasy. This book gave me a totally new outlook on life!

    Worth the time.

    This book was pretty good. i enjoyed it mostly up until the end. it was a little scary, not like saw 23 er anything but creepy. thats because it was a game that plays on your worst nightmares. i guess there is a lesson there somewhere like u can conquer anything with teamwork which is incredibly cheesy but still good. i thot l.j. smith did a good job. the only thing i wish i could change is the love triangle. Jenny is obviously meant for Julian but isists on being with tom. the part that really aggrivated me was when tom went all "im gonna lose her anyway so ill just ignore jenny and try to protect her" i wanted to slap him. if i were the writer i would have flpped the storyline and had tom go crazy and like try to attack jenny then have julian save her but like he dies or so she thinks but then one day she looks up and he's there with the new ring that says "i am my own master" like in the book. i hate that Julian dies but overall im glad i read that book it was a good read.

    I loved it!

    Though I have not read this series in years, it still remains one of my favorites. I read all of her books when I was younger and could not wait for the next one to come out. I have not read any of her recents books because I am a bit too old now but her eary books are worth picking up. I still will not give up my copies from way back when.

    one of my most favorite books!

    i'm happy to see that the forbidden game trilogy is being reprinted. i read this book when it was first published and i loved it! i own the collector's edition that came out in 1997 with amazing cover art. this story will draw you in and become apart of the story. with a very clever and appealing villain that you have torn feelings whether they win or lose. this is my favorite series that l.j.smith has written followed by the nightworld series. i really hope that people will check this book out. i would love to see a movie done of the series to see the characters come to life on screen.

    Beautiful Work

    When I first bought the series, it was purely on a whim. I didn't know a single thing about the book when I got it. Yet the moment I began reading, I couldn't stop. My heart pounded in excitement because of the mystery, the danger. I found myself fearing the dark, and wondering if there was a difference between reality and fantasy (thanks to Julian). I hope that the Forbidden Game series is adapted into 3 movies, and if the director does it well enough, the Forbidden Game could be a true masterpiece on screen. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in a thrilling novel that makes you cry, and makes you laugh, and keeps you reading all night. The Forbidden Game series has effected me in a way unexplainable by words, but if you have read the book, you would understand what I mean.
