Submitted by Anonymous (Apr 06, 2001)I thought the book was really good its about a boy called Michael and his family who move into this house and Michael goes into the garage and he sees Skellig and with his new friend mina they save Skellig Submitted by hencrewe@aol.com (Mar 20, 2001)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! Submitted by Lila (Mar 09, 2001)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. Submitted by Amiga59 (Feb 19, 2001)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! Submitted by Ashley (Feb 19, 2001)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.
