I have just read this at school and that is probably why I'm not sure about it as we have to go over the same bits which almost make enjoying it unreadable! I like the way it is mysterious and how your own image builds up in your mind and I also enjoyed seeing how there were connections between the baby and Skellig. The bits that was not sure about was when it wasn't going anywhere and seemed to dwell on one thing for two long- It should have had a better rhythm. When reading in a group most people don't like to admit that they enjoyed a book as it would be seen as uncool but I want to express my opinion so that is what I have just done!

I thought Skellig was a good book. I found it to be different from other books. It really kept me there.If you just sit and really think about what your reading you can get a pretty good picture of what's happening.I loved it I cant wait to read the next book.

I really liked this book. It was amazing, and although it wasn't sad, I was crying by the end. This was so radiant! The description of Mina and her mother made me reflect. It really touched me. Out of 5 *'s I would give it 6!

This book is the best book I have ever read! It shows the love someone can have for something and not know what they are really dealing with. People these days don't think about others an a way to care who they are or not.
