"I thought this was a very fun kids/younger adult fantasy. Plus, the story line makes so much more sense than the film!
Also, Mark Hamill was surprisingly VERY good. I was surprized by all his different voices and loved listening to him tell this story. I actually didn't even realize it was "Luke Skywalker" reading until about half way through the book. I kept thinking... god, this guy's voice is SO familiar! Why do I keep thinking of Yoda? Ha!
I totally recommend for a car trip with a few kids."
"It's a fun fanasty read that is easy and quick. It's about three siblings who move into their grandmother's old run down house that they think is haunted. The children find a secret room that had a secret book of fairies and mystical creatures. The series follow the adventures of the siblings in their hunt to save their kidnapped sister and to return back home.
I would recommend this book if you like fantasy, goblins and adventure. It's a much easier read than the Harry Potter series."
"Well, I just have to say how very good these books are. This intelligent and oh so fantastically illustrated series really merits its huge success. There's a strong sense of story structure and writer know-how. The reader is carried along adeptly. I really like the direction they go with mythological material. Imaginative faerie world creatures are mixed very successfully with modern day children in an enjoyably escapist setting. The characters are well rounded and individual. The dialogue moves the story on well, with lots of action without it feeling like an 'action book' - even gets pretty scary and violent at times but always steps back into security so the young reader can feel safe - like leaving a dream behind. I must say that sometimes I think of the Hobbit and Alice in Wonderland but not enough to feel it's copying just similar inspirations in places. The other thing that intrigues me is the format (I think I mean 'format') - five books with their own story but as each book is so short, to me they feel like 5 extended chapters. The books seem closer linked to each other than separate books normally do. I think that what I particularly like about it for this middle-grade age group is the conciseness of the writing. Lots of ground to cover, lots of fun new elements, but NO messing around - right to the point - the story keeps unfolding, moving on. Indeed, though the story takes priority, characters are revealed and signs of personal growth are entwined through the chapters. They subtlely grow from their experiences, but not too subtlely. The reader does notice their progression. So Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, I'm taking notes. Thanks for setting such a fine example even if you're placing the bar pretty high! Now to read "Beyond The Spiderwick Chronicles"."
"After seeing the movie I decided to read these books. They were pretty different than the movie. If possible I always like to see the movie first before reading books because I usually enjoy the movie much more. I enjoyed the movie as much as the books in this case and one didn't outshine the other. The books are fairly thin and I read all 5 books in less than 2 days. I liked this series but it didn't draw me into as much as I thought it would."
