I love this book and I've wanted it in hardcover for a long time. It's practically new and has a plastic see through protective cover. The book itself is fantasy themed from acclaimed fantasy horror author Clive Barker. This book is more of a young adult fantasy genre and includes beautiful artwork by Barker himself.

This book is massively underrated. I loved it as a teen and an adult, and the artwork makes it that much better. I was very sad to see it's out of print, but thrilled to find here for a reasonable price unlike some "collector's editions" I've seen online going up to $70. I was nervous that I would end up getting the paperback without illustrations, but thankfully it's exactly the edition advertised.

I started reading the 2nd book not knowing it from my library. So then i decided to get the first one because i wanted to know what was all happening at first. Abarat has awesome pictures that go along with the stories and as you are reading it you can't wait to find out what happened next. One of the reasons i bought it was because of the pictures and how imaginative they were. I also decided to buy it because it is a great story about leaving a broken home because of a drunk father and going somewhere you never thought was possible, but you still end up missing home. Abarat will keep you wanting to read more. I think it's for all ages. I'm 19 and I would recomend it to anyone.
Abarat is a fresh new book full of color and imagination from the mind of Clive Barker. The book grabs you on the first page and will not let go. It takes you on a wild ride of adventure and fantasy, that leaves you breathless and wanting more. Barker does all of the art work in this novel and the pictures corelate so well with the writting that you can't put this book down. If you buy this book, get the hardcover and enjoy the vivid pictures that come along with the story. It might be labeled Young Adult but this is a story that will thrill even the most avid readers of all ages! This is a must read!
Excellent book well worth a read

A bit dark, a bit rambling, but an amazing worldscape to explore with Candy. The illustrations just add so much to it, too!

Abarat is an incredible series, and I don't just mean story-wise. The art is phenomenal, and if this story was written just because Clive Barker is an amazing artist, then I have no complaints, because the story is well-written too.
