Interpretation Concering Books Radiance (Riley Bloom #1)
Riley has crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. She has picked up life where she left off when she was alive, living with her parents and dog in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. When she's summoned before The Council, she learns that the afterlife isn't just an eternity of leisure. She's been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a possibly cute, seemingly nerdy boy who's definitely hiding something. They return to earth together for Riley's first assignment, a Radiant Boy who's been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But all of that was before he met Riley . . . Radiance is the first book in the Riley Bloom series from bestselling author Alyson Noël.Particularize Books As Radiance (Riley Bloom #1)

Damn, I don't know what is worse: This series or The Immortals. Just a brief summary: Riley is dead, but she cannot accept it. She wants to go back and live a proper teenager life. She does not like the Here she is living in now. Neither does she like the fact that she has a job to do. A pretty "dangerous" and "hard" one. Sounds okay, right? I thought: Well, the other series was nothing for me but maybe this one will be better. It is not. Riley is a spoiled, annoying girl who sometimes talks
I thought this one was so bad and boring. I was excited to read this as the books with Ever have proceeded to get worse with each one and I had hoped this would take the story in a different way. It did, but the story was so very predictable and Riley annoying. I wonder if the reason why I didn't care for this book is because it seems aimed at a younger pre-teen/tween market. About the only good thing that I have to say for this one is that with only 170 some odd pages with big margins and big
This book and the next in the series should have a warning label on it, especially since it will show up in elementary school book fairs across the country. It should say warning! This book raises issues about death and the afterlife - parents read first to see if 1) your child is mature enough to handle 2) the crap in it is not a huge conflict with your religious teachings. 3) your kid is able to handle very violent historic images and not get nightmares (shimmer contains images of slave abuse
I had no idea this would be geared toward a younger audience, so I bought it, read it, and can't say I hated it. It's a little anticlimactic and I was definitely expecting a bigger ending; BUT I also liked it for that reason: It's an easy read. The kind of book that you can just sit down and enjoy. The characters are so pure and honest.
I think radiance is a wonderful and delightful read.It tells the story of a young girl whos life has just been yanked from underneath her feet. And who has to brave the challenges of her new world. For Riley, the here&now is a little bit like her life on the human plane. Except there is no one that she knows besides her family. There is also no time or date, its always here & now.Join riley in the adventure of her next life. And maybe even earn a little bit radiance for yourself.
Right after I finished Shadowland, I went looking for Dark Flame and discovered Radiance. Wow. It was fun. It was fun like the first two books in the Immortals series were fun. It was over too quick for me too. I am looking forward to the next installment coming out in the Spring 2011. What I really liked was that I could really feel the voice of a 12-year-old telling the story. She says "bum" instead of "butt" or "ass", for example. She expresses discontent that she is still "flat-chested" and
