I've used this text with a number of different student groups and every time I re-read it, I am struck by new insights. The way Dark weaves the biblical narrative, vast pop culture references and particular cultural artifacts (Radiohead, Beck, The Simpsons, Coen Brothers films and more) is simply brilliant. I think my copy is entirely underlined at this point ...

Just for future reference -- don't hate on grammatical, spelling, or formatting errors. I'm using my cell phone to type this and my phone likes to write things all by itself without my consent. First off: I'm often known as that annoying person who gives out spoilers and/or very brief reviews and 'tis why no one really reads or likes them. They're just my opinions. To the book: I loved this book the most out of all of them. It made my heart smile. Although I know there is more to the series. I'm now currently reading City of Fallen Angels. In the beginning of the book, it's taken place a week (I believe) after the events in City of Ashes. Trying not to give any spoilers but as we know from the synopsis, Jace does not want Clary around. In other words, he doesn't want her to go with him to Idris. There are times when I read books and the main romance is shined apon the majority of the story. I get angry or frustrated whenever the guy (Jace) yells at the girl (Clary) or doesn't want her there or pretends he doesn't care. That always kills me inside. With City of Glass, I didn't feel that type of frustration. I knew Jace loved her and after his spats, I realize that he knew he was wrong unlike most male romance characters. I liked that I didn't have to get angry as I read on through the book. Now, a thing I didn't really like was, I didn't get what I wanted from the series until the last 150 pages or so. Be patient. I loved how Clare didn't dwell on the romances the WHOLE TIME, she kept with all the action, made me feel like I was there and that's all I ask for. :) The end of the book would have left me disappointed if there hadn't been a 4th book (Along with 2 others after that). I felt like there was something unfinished, yet, I felt like it was the happily ever after that most people wanted which made it a good ending. Time to see if CoFA will be able to keep up with some more epicness.
