Okay, after I read Space Demons I gave up hope of ever finding a book half as good as it. I was so lucky I'd happened to grab Skymaze off the library shelf too.

It was even better than Space Demons. Maybe because there was a bit more romance. *Snicker* Actually, it was because it moved fast, moved smoothly, and was handled very well. It also kept me up until 3:00 in the morning.

The way Skymaze affects the characters' actual lives is (in my opinion) a little more realistic than in Space Demons.

It's a wonderful book, and there is no one I would tell not to read it. (Except the die-hard Harry Potter fans who don't WANT to get over their obsession.) However, as you ought not to play Skymaze until you've mastered Space Demons, you shouldn't read Skymaze until you've finished Space Demons.

Can there possibly be another computer game as enthralling as Space Demons? A year later from their adventure with space demons, Andrew Hayford is bored and orders the next game. It reunites the former players Ben Challis, Mario Fellone and Elaine Taylor, as they are drawn into the next adventure. Danger arrives as Andrew's new step brother enters the game. Mario loses his last life and the only way for him to recover is for the other three to make their way past Andrew's brother and get to the centre of the maze.

I was first introduced tt "Space Demons", the prequal to this book on a field trip to the public library when I was young. Cannot remember how I found it, but Im glad I did. Both it and this book have remained personal favorites of mine. It was also the first book I ever read where the author shifted from one persons point of view to another. Todays younger readers might find some of the technology terms outdated because this book is straight up 80's style, but its overall universal.

THIS BOOK ROCKS! I hope there's a sequal. I'm trying to find out if there is. I could not put the book down. It is my new favorite book. If you like sci-fi or computers READ THIS BOOK!

Skymaze is the best book I have ever read or should I say have had read to me. Gillian is a very talented writer that captures the feelings and excitement of the readers. Skymaze is a very exciting book which gives you an adrenalin rush even when you are talking about not so exciting things. I tell you once you pick this book up you'll love it so much you won't be able to put it down. Can't wait to read the next book Shinkei!

I found this book both weird and exciting,fantastically written and extremely hard to stop reading.We read Space Demons but Skymaze was even better.The book really sucks you in and has you on the edge of your seat at all times.The book captures the excitement and drama of love and friendship.This book is fantastic and definitely on top of my list of books to buy.I hope the sequel Shinkei is going to be just as good and I look forward to reading it.

I think 'SkyMaze' is a cleverly written book. I read Space Demons first than SkyMaze. I can't wait for 'Shinkei'. So far, SkyMaze is the best book I have ever read before. When I read the book, I felt like I'm inside the book because it's really fantastic. I think Gillian's book's are the best. How did she got all these ideas about Dark Clouds and Pale Gaurdiance. And just imagine that, the game come from Japan. If it came alive, it would be cool. There's a really big accident in the book. Well if you want to find out more, you just have to read SkyMaze. But remember, before you read SkyMaze, read Space Demons first so you know what happened.

My name is Richard and I have read the great book 'Skymaze.' Skymaze is a wonderfully written book which would delight anybody who happened to pick it up. It has many twists in the plot which makes it an extremely good book to read. it is best suited to young adults. I think this book is real good because it is modern. Not like Roald Dahl's The Twits. It has many creative and interesting caractures which all are full of different emotions. I know lots of people, like me, who like this book and think it is just great!

A cleverly written book that captivated the interests of the 11 and 12 year olds in my class. We read Space Demons first and then Skymaze and have been impressed by both of them. I personally find that the excitement and danger is nicely tempered by the description of the real life conflicts each of the characters go through - the book allows you the chance to have a breather in between the complexities of the maze. My students have enjoyed getting to know each of the characters and seem to consider them almost as their best friends too. We have spent a great deal of class discussion time analysing each of the characters motivations and feelings. Each of Gillian's books lend themselves to this type of thinking so these books are great for classroom teachers. We all eagerly look forward to reading the next book in the series - Shinkei.

This book is wonderful. It explains the pains of having older siblings that don't mind their own business. It a great science fiction for children over 11. I told everyone I know to rent it from the library.
