5.0 out of 5 stars Tithe, I couldn't put it down., 4 Oct 2002
By Luke Murthwaite (Peterborough, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I finished reading Tithe at 12:07 a.m. and I loved it. Tithe was one of those books that I just couldn't put down. I started reading at about 6p.m. on Wednesday and didn't stop until 2:30 a.m. and yesterday I took the book everywhere with me so that I could take every available opportunity to read.

Tithe is so beautifully written and fantastically vivid. The story flows so smoothly, there was never a dull moment. I often find with books that towards the middle I get a little bored and start reading something else for a while, this didn't happen with Tithe.

Just to illustrate how much I enjoyed the book, I'm a BIG Star Wars fan. I have read every Star Wars book, which has been published since 1996, as soon as I could get my hands on a copy. Normally all other books get put on hold for Star Wars. The new Star Wars book arrived in the same package as Tithe. I haven't read a single page of the Star Wars book yet; I was far too engrossed in Tithe.

The only problem I have with Tithe is that I didn't really want it to end. I want to know more. I want to know what happens to Kaye and Roiben. I want to know more about Kaye's childhood with Spike, Lutie and Gristle (especially Gristle). I hope that the story of Kaye and Roiben will continue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping: If you don't want to work for a while buy it now!, 26 Mar 2003
By A Customer
I bought Tithe yesterday at about 5.30 and finished it this morning at about 10. Its brilliant; very well written so that you feel sympathetic towards the characters and surprisingly realistic for a fairy tale!

Its nice to see some of the old myths being tied together (evil faeries, redcaps, the Gentry etc) and its also good because for once the heroine isn't a perfect child with a loving boyfriend and no vices at all.

I only found two probems with this book; firstly that it was not gritty enough for adult readers but yet seemed a bit too explicit for young adults (but hey, maybe I'm just too old now), and secondly that I was so eager to find out what happened I kept realising I'd missed out paragraphs. So now instead of continuing with my dissertation, I'm going to read it again! And keep an eye out for anything else Holly Black writes!

4.0 out of 5 stars tithe, 17 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale (Paperback)
Tithe is a great modern fairy tale about a girl called Kaye who has faerie friends and has always been different. when she meets Roiben one night, near death and in need of help, it all comes back to her - her childhood spent growing up with faeries, and suddenly everything changes. she falls for Roiben, she gets tangled up in faerie business, almost dies and discovers a very unexpected secret about herself.
overall a really good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for YA's
Though this author is normally known for her Young Adults books, this book as a more mature feel. There are good strong characters, with depth. Read more
