The book got me hooked almost immediately and then I got to the end and realized that there is another book after this one.I was unaware of this dilemma but its so good I did not care.  Characters and dialogue are good but I liked the movie better.I disliked the name because there is one part about the city of bones and the rest is about characters and how they relate to each other.  The interaction between characters are superb.  Thank you Cassandra Clare. 

Question: Is the plot line good enough?
