Yeah... The first one. I didn't like it very much, especially the commercial tidal wave it produced.Quote:

IMO there are a lot of different adventure stories for children that are a lot better.
(btw, the author is actually a really smart woman, she compiled things that children really like, and created a targeted series of books, that, like the tvshow Lost, are mentally addictive.)
Nice! I was planning on reading it too, my uncle suggested it.Quote:

True Harv, the first two books are more for the younger children and I don't like them that much either, but book 3 - 6 are AWESOME!:)
LOST is awsome!!!
lmfao
lol
This is my bookcase. Well X-bookcase.
Hi have you ever read upton sinclairs book "The Jungle" It's kind of boring but really awesome to learn about the times in the 1900's and it takes about the meat processing places...enough to make some people go vegan. :)
Well that's enough edcuation for me folks.
I love all books. Mostly philosophy (Ever heard of "Nausia?") incluing Jungian's work, although I always enjoy a conspiracy book ;) and have to say I am absolutely fascinated by all plants: Enthegeons, Hallucinogens, etc. and their historical uses. Information is the shit! Fill your brain with it :thumbsup: :dance:
If this is so, if to read a book as it should be read calls for the rarest qualities of imagination, insight, and judgment, you may perhaps conclude that literature is a very complex art and that it is unlikely that we shall be able, even after a lifetime of reading, to make any valuable contribution to its criticism. We must remain readers; we shall not put on the further glory that belongs to those rare beings who are also critics. But still we have our responsibilities as readers and even our importance. The standards we raise and the judgments we pass steal into the air and become part of the atmosphere which writers breathe as they work. And influence is created which tells upon them even if it never finds its way into print. And that influence, if it were well instructed, vigorous and individual and sincere, might be of great value now when criticism is necessarily in abeyance; when books pass in review like the procession of animals in a shooting-gallery, and the critic has only one second in which to load and aim and shoot and may well be pardoned if he mistakes rabbits for tigers, eagles for barndoor fowls, or misses altogether and wastes his shot upon some peaceful cow grazing in a further fields. If behind the erratic gunfire of the press the author felt that there was another kind of criticism, the opinion of people reading for the love of reading, slowly and unprofessionally, and judging with great sympathy and yet with great severity, might this not improve the quality of his work? And if by our means books were to become stronger, richer, and more varied, that would be an end worth reaching.
