5.0�toiles sur 5 Great spooky book, Juil 8 2004

Par	Kimberley Wilson (VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Figure In The Shadows (Hardcover)

I was about 8 or 9 when I first read Figure in the Shadows. It's about orphaned Lewis who comes to live with his uncle Jonathan. Uncle is a wizard but Lewis is too miserable to discover that until much later. Lewis is an extremely well written character. He's a nice kid whom the readers will identify with. He's smart, and funny but becuase he's shy and overweight the town bullies turn on him. His unhappiness at school leads to what he thinks is a gift. Instead it's a trap that takes all his uncle's strength and his best friend Rose Rita's love to fight.

I spent many happy hours with this book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Good fun, Jui 24 2004

Par	Michael Cornett "Madman" (Takoma Park, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Figure In The Shadows (Paperback)

Lewis Barnavelt (introduced in THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS) is having problems. He's picked on by bullies and he's afraid his best friend, Rose Rita, doesn't respect him because he's not rough-and-tough. When he finds his great-grandfather's lucky coin, he starts wearing it, hoping it will bring him luck...only to discover that it's actually a powerful talisman and a sinister hooded figure is watching over him.

This isn't quite up to the level that HOUSE was, but it's still a grand entertainment. We feel Lewis' pain and rage at being a target and at his inability to intervene when Rose Rita is attacked by bullies. Lewis' love/hate relationship with the talisman can also been seen as a symbol of drug addiction.

It all ends well, with a good message about loyalty and a caution against using outside props (talismans or drugs). Next in the series: THE LETTER, THE WITCH AND THE RING.

5.0�toiles sur 5 enthralling, but with an inconsistency, Ao� 19 2003

Par	Neal Whitman (Reynoldsburg, OH United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Figure In The Shadows (Paperback)

... there is one plot inconsistency: Lewis receives the mysterious Latin message from the evil figure *before* he has read the incantation to invoke him!
