spiderwick - Rated
I am Freddie and I am seven. I saw the film and then bought the books, I read all five books in six days. They were brilliant. I really enjoyed the last book.
Spelling mistakes - foreign - Rated
I bought this books for my young son who will be moving onto more difficult books soon. I took it for granted that these books would be in English as in proper English but oh no they are not they are in American English. I bought these books from Tesco so I'm not sure if they are the same from Amazon.
If you don't mind spelling mistakes then fine but if I was warned about this before the purchase I wouldn't have touched them with a barge pole.
Beautifully illustrated fantasy story - Rated
I was offered by a friend to read these enchanting books, and only wish they had been around when I was much younger. I'm not ashamed to say that I am 20 years old!
I don't think it's very fair to give these stories a bad review based purely on the fact that they are so short. In my opinion I found them just the right length. Yes I know they could easily be made into one book, but they are actually meant for very young readers. In fact, they remind me a lot of Beatrix Potter's books. Not only are they all beautifully illustrated, but they are small enough for a young child to hold them easily (which is why Potter's books were so small).
The story line itself is highly original and very imaginative - I truly envy DiTerlizzi and Black.
Fabulous - Rated
I've just read these books to my 8 year old son who absolutely loved them. They are just the right length and capture the imagination of any child reading them who enjoys this kind of genre. I noticed that a movie is due to be released next March - there is a trailer to view if you hunt for it. I've read Tolkein's 'Hobbit' to my son and these books remind him of that - a mystical intrigue in a world unseen!
The 3 children Mallory, Simon and Jared Grace move to a tumble down house belonging to an Aunt. They happen across a book entitled 'Arthur Spiderwick's field guide' in the loft. It gets them into all manner of difficulties with faeries, goblins, gnomes and elves.
Books certainly worth reading...box set the cheapest way to get them!
Deceptive - Rated
I bought this set on the strength of other reviews. I wish I hadn't. This set is a complete waste of money. Each book is not a story in its own right, it is a chapter of a very short childrens book. Yes they look nice and have hard covers but as value for money the authors and publishers are having a laugh at our expense. My 10 year old son read the entire set in less than 1 day. The story itself is okay, but again not worth the price.
Chronicles should be a set of stories in chronological order, yes it is in chronological order, but so is any book, and this is not a collection of stories.
Very disappointed - don't waste your money. If you want to read a true Chronicles set, buy the Chronicles of Narnia.
