Description

Clive Barker, author of The Thief of Always, delivers an epic battle filled with fantasy and adventure that readers won't want to put down!

Candy Quackenbush, her allies, and her enemies are back in Abarat: Absolute Midnight, the third book in Clive Barker's New York Times bestselling Abarat series.

"The waiting is over. Tomorrow there will be no dawn. Only midnight, absolute and eternal." Mater Motley, the Old Mother of Darkness herself—following the events of Abarat and Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War—has crafted a scheme that may destroy the Abarat, a vast archipelago where every hour is an island in one eternal day.

When Candy discovers Mater Motley's secret plot, she realizes that only she can bring an end to the destruction. Only she can stop the complete darkness threatening to abolish all hope and happiness from the Abarat.

    I legit just finished this book and I can't wait for the 4th and 5th books! Again you plunged into a descriptive,vivid world called the Abarat. I am a fan of this quintet, and I must say this is forever a favorite series of mine.

    I'm halfway thru the book already and loving it. My problem is that you can't see the pictures!! I still plan to buy an actual copy of the book but was impatient and wanted to begin reading it right away. If you want the pictures as I imagine most would buy the physical copy. I tried reading it both on my iPhone 3G and iPod touch 4th gen and still no luck :(
  • Great author, terrible service,

    I pre ordered this book because Clive Barker is a genius at writing fantastic stories. Unfortunately iTunes there is an error on the first page where the story starts. On top of that, I have to get ahold of iTunes to get it fixed, but get this. ITunes has no contact number, only an email. So I called tech support at Apple, they don't have the email, they said I need to search for it myself. More money than the US Government, yet they can't hire some humans to talk to for iTunes. Thanks Apple for nothing! I'm never buying another book from you! Sorry Mr. Barker for posting this on your new books review page! Apple gave me no choice!
