Forbidden Game Collector Omnibus Edition LJ Smith 9780671017163 Books Reviews
I bought this book when i was 16. This was the first book to ever make me cry, and i have been reading since kindergarden. Julian was magnificent. Every page he was on just drew you further in.
For a young adult series, which in this edition has all 3 books in one volume, it is still my all time favorite book. As much as i adore Susan Kay's "Phantom" this book still comes in before that one on my list of favorites.
Someone already mentioned the fact that "labyrinth" was similar, but those of you associated with "The Phantom of the Opera", in particular the 2004 musical staring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum will find a number of similarities. The symbolism of the rose and the ring. The love triangle. Jenny is very similar to Christine. She is 17 in the book, and i think that is around the age Christine was in the movie. Julian, who is the opposite of the Phantom yet the same in many ways, has been watching Jenny since she was 5. the phantom watched over christine in the film since she was 7. There is the boyfriend/lover of tom who is raoul in every aspect. And let's not forget the masquerade ball in the second book. Any Phantom phan should give this series a chance.
Again, prepare to be devastated in the end. The book is in deed tragic, and though Julian was made physically perfect compared to the phantom who was hideously ugly since birth. They both are men who were born in to a life never meant to be loved, but inevitably do.
I came across L.J. Smith's name on one of the Twilight forums. Her books were regarded very highly, so I decided to give one of her series a try. My first available book happened to be The Forbidden Game trilogy. A little bit about each of three books.
The Hunter
In a few words, this is a story about Jenny, an ordinary good girl, and Julian, a "Dark Prince" who is in love with her. To lure Jenny in his world, Julian tricks her and 6 of her friends to play The Game, where all of them have to face their most horrific nightmares. If they win, they are free to go. If they lose, Jenny has to stay with Julian forever.
This is a very well written book, characters are very real and relatable. Like many other reviewers, I found Julian extremely attractive in a dangerous way.
The Chase
Julian is out and lures Jenny into another Game - "Lambs and Monsters," in which her friends are caught one by one by the Snake and the Wolf. Jenny has to find the Shadow Man's base in order to free her friends and to be released from the promise she has given Julian in the previous game.
I found this book less entertaining than "The Hunter." It took almost half of the book for Julian to appear, the game itself was much weaker, we didn't learn anything new about the Shadow World, and there was too little interaction between Jenny and Julian.
The Kill
Seriously, what a comeback after a snoozer the second book was!
Jenny, Dee, Michael and Audrey are playing the final game to save their friends. Only this time they have to find an entrance to the Shadow World to be able to play.
This book is everything I expected and more. We find out more about the Shadow World, about Julian and experience emotional growth of all characters.
The book is scary, intense, and romantic at the same time. The ending is sad but you know it couldn't have ended any other way...
Overall, a great YA fantasy series which I would highly recommend.
When I was a teenager I owned all of Lisa Jane Smith's books. ALL of them. She's added quite a lot more since I was a teen (Vampire Diaries was only a trilogy back then) but TFG was one of my absolute favorites. I had been the biggest LJ Smith fangirl and was on RPG boards (often I played Stefan or an old soul named Iona from one of the Night World books). Major fangirl. I used to eat, breathe and sleep Ms. Smith's writings. But when I graduated 12 years ago, and moved out, the books went bye-bye.
And then Jessica Jones was released here just last month on Netflix and you know who Kilgrave reminded me of? Why Julian, of course. Mostly because Julian manipulates people in the name of "love". It's a twisted and strange conclusion to come to but nonetheless I got on and ordered this book, just like the one I used to have. It's all the books in-one. Can't wait to reacquaint myself with Jenny and Tom and Julian and everyone else! There have been many times I've been tempted to take up the collection again but TFG is really the only one I have actually craved owning again. The others are great, too, but this is the one I want.
Thank you
