Giant, man...herding, spiders!, Nov 11 2005
By Michael Valdivielso - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Desert (Paperback)
The world is a much different place than it once was. Mankind lives along side giant ants, tiger beetles and giant spiders. The last is the most dangerous, for they are armed with intelligence, mind powers and a hate for man.
One boy, living with his family in the desert, is our point of view as we explore the Earth ruled by spiders. Most of the book is nothing but action and adventure, as it was the first part of a book that was divided into three parts. So this book is, in fact, the build-up, the foundation of a much larger book. It is not a stand-alone and, if you enjoyed this volume, you will have to buy the other voumes if you wish to know what happens.

A very good book for all who like intelligent reading!, Oct 20 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Desert (Paperback)
Since I read the Mind Parasites for the first time, Wilson became one of my favorite writers and I've never been disappointed by his books. And the Spider World saga (The Desert and its numerous sequels) is probably the best his achievement in the fiction field. You find there mystery and suspence in the best traditions of the Mind Parasites, a story of self-development of a young men (which is set even better than in the Philosopher's Stone), bright imagination and vivid language. It's very hard to put this book aside.

Nice fantasy, but not too interesting, Jun 14 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Desert (Paperback)
This is a good fantasy book as it goes, but doesn't go very far. It was too action-packed, and didn't have the psychological/philosophical edge that made "Philosopher's Stone" so good.
Listmania!
