5.0 out of 5 stars
wow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
I used to hate reading and would not ever in my wildest dreams ever read a book untill i went to the library. My dad and I were looking at book titles when he came across a funny picture. He showed it to me and I to his suprise and my own asked if i could get it out. He was thrilled that i would want to read the book. after I read the first book I wanted to read more. and when I ran out of books and the sequence was over and there were no more books I became enraged and wanted more and now for two years I have waited to buy the series the whole time my parents doubting that I would ever find it but here it is at Amazon. com right in front of my eyes. you should read it as well and you will be surpised at how interesting it is!

Disturbing.,
By Ryoo Jong Kwon "jongr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
Having read the first two Mushroom Planet books in third grade, I was very eager to read this final part of the adventures. I vaguely remember that the book dealt with the king of the Mushroom Planet coming to earth and finding descendants of the planet there, I also seem to recall that Mr. Bass is one, but I wouldn't swear to it. However, the chief thought that comes to my mind when I think of this book is how different it was from the former books of the series. The tone was utterly different-heavy and dark, and I remember that the ending was almost grotesque in its flavor. I wouldn't recommend this for young children - they'll probably find it very weird, but for fans of the series, you'll find a different, twisted look at the Mushroom Planet and its inhabitants.

Mushroom Planet meets King Arthur mythos,
By Ellen Eades "Sutures" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
This book was definitely different in tone from the rest of the series. The premise is that the inhabitants of the Mushroom Planet are related to today's Welsh, and the boys and Mr. Bass are caught up in a mystery involving the hidden grave of Arthur and Guinevere and the evil forces which caused his overthrow. The final scene in Wales is utterly chilling and still sends shivers down my spine. If you can accept the rather silly premise at face value, you have a dark and thrilling read ahead of you. Very enjoyable for those who like a little mystery to deepen their light fantasy reading.

Creeps me out 25 years later,
By Chris D'Amato - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
I loved the Mushroom Planet books but my memories of this one are entirely different. I haven't read it since I was a kid but it has probably shaped my fascination for weird fiction, of stories about what might happen in parallel to the familiar world we know about. I remember being very frightened and horrified even -- I was a timid child! -- but there was also an undeniable attraction to the "dark side," which I found unexpectedly in the familiar characters.
