Got my 12 yr old hooked on reading, Aug 11 2008

This review is from: Tower of Air (Paperback)
I was looking for an interesting book with no inappropriate material that would engage my not-so-interested child in reading.This book series got her hooked. She was a poor reader and now she is begging for every book in the series. Very engaging storyline. Highly recommend.
I did not know this author before, but search him out now.

Great Stuff!, April 12 2005
By Gordon Hynes "Gordo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tower of Air (Paperback)
In the third book in this series, Dashner adds depth and intrigue to the story line and the caharacters. Jimmy takes on a more mature aspect, yet retains his boyish innocence and sense of wonder at what is happening to him. The characters are delightful and the insight into the mind of this fourteen year old make the character come to life.My 13 year old daughter loved the story and read it voraciously. We anxiously anticipate the fourth and cloncluding volume to the story and highly recommend it to anyone 10 to adult.

This review is from: Tower of Air (Paperback)
The Tower of Air is the third in this four book series about Jimmy Fincher, a boy who discovers he is special, so special in fact that he may be able to save our world from the approaching Stompers, a nebulous threat heralded by the mischief of the truly frightening Shadow Ka -- humans who've been changed into gargoyle-like malevolents.One nice thing about these books is that Jimmy is not alone, and while his family and friends are often more of a burden than a help, at least they're there for moral support -- until Jimmy's dad is captured by the Ka and begins to turn! Scary idea for kids, for sure. The dialogue is authentic and there is humor to lighten the constant aura of dread. There is action and fighting, though no gore. In general I like this author and this series, but I thought this entry was the weakest of the series, though we're still looking forward to the fourth and final book to see what happens. Speaking of which, not a lot happens here. The characters are mainly on a ship, so we don't get the feeling of movement and the interest of travel in this chapter of the saga. Also, the characters seem a bit dumber than usual. The whole bunch of them ponder for weeks about a clue they receive to go to the Northless Point until Jimmy's mom finally, brilliantly (?) realizes it's the North Pole. Duh. And finally, a petty complaint I know, but the author seems to want to put an adjective in front of EVERY noun, which deadens the rhythm of the text I think; it's not something I would have ever thought of as complaining about, but after reading three of these books aloud it really jumps out at you. Still, I recommend this series, particularly for boys.
Listmania!
