5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful, exciting books for all ages,
By Raven tales (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Run Away Together (Paperback)
I think it's true that if you love the famous five, you're not so fond of the secret seven. This is certainly true for me. Like others I avidly read the famous five, the enchanted wood and the adventure stories and still have fond memories of the children's adventures, holidays and those feasts. In answer to the reviewer below who wonders why the kids don't put on weight, the children in these books never spend more than ten minutes inside, there's no tv, no computer games, they never sit still. They are far too active to put on weight.

Five Run Away Together,
By Capital One Visa Platinum "Stephen Isabirye" (Flagstaff, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Five Run Away Together (Audio Cassette)
Another great Famous Five Thriller. What often puzzled and still puzzles me is the appetitie these kids have. It borders on gluttony (yet they do not appear to put on weight), for when they "escape" to Kirrin Island, I am fearful that their boat will capsize in light of the amount of food they bring on board. Again Blyton displays her ability to build up a very interesting climax where "goodness" triumphs over "evil" in the end.

hilarious!,
By ellen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five Run Away Together (Audio Cassette)
I remember reading this book as a child and loving it. Recently while stuck at home with the chicken-pox I decided to dust off and reread my old famous fives. This one is still one of my favourites. I particularly loved the scene where the children decide to scare the Sticks with animal noises echoing through the tunnels. Even as an adult that still cracks me up! And does anyone else love reading about the food the kids eat? The scene where Julian barged into the kitchen and removed the roast chicken and treacle tart still makes my mouth water - and I've never tasted treacle tart!

Excellent childrens' adventures,
By Graves - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Five Run Away Together (Paperback)
This was one of my favorites books in a serries that was a hall mark of my childhood. The children in Blyton's books have adventures that include burried treasure and secret rooms. They are gripping with nary a hint of magic wands or video games. In our world of internet and cell phones some of their problems will seem no challenge to modern children, but for those who can see these in the world in which they were set, they are wonderous.In this adventure the children are forced to fend for themselves as their aunt is suddenly taken ill and forced to hospital, leaving them under the thumb of a venomus servant who has other plans herself. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

My Favorite In This Series,
By Diogenette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five Run Away Together (Paperback)
"Five Run Away Together" was my favorite in Enid Blyton's "Famous Five" series, which I first read in the 1950s. How I envied George, Julian, Dick and Anne for their adventures! They were always pretty much adult-free, with lots of delicious meals and, best of all, Timmy the Dog. Julian sometimes got off a smart remark at an adult, and George wore boy's clothes. I'm pretty sure the thrill-factor of all these things would be lost on today's kids, unfortunately.What won't be lost on them is the singular excitement of running away to George's very own island, the mysterious wreck which has been cast up on the rocks at Kirrin Island, the secret cave where the children hide and set up housekeeping, and the way they (yet again) outsmart the Bad Guys. Highly recommended. |
