5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Great book! (from a 13 year old!), May 6 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret Counrty Trilogy #1 Secret Country (Mass Market Paperback)

I was at one of my fav. book stores and my sister pick up this book and started to read the back. As she set it down, I picked it up and read it. I totaly got hooked right away just by reading the back.( I am a big reader and love fantasy books)I soon bought the book and read it in a week. I soon found the other two and picked those up to. Right now I am reading the second one and am about half way through!

This book is about five cousins who every summer play their fantasy world -The Secret Country-. When one summer Ted and Laura find a strang house and a sword (which klumzy Laura tripped upon in a hedge). As soon as they go through the hedge they find themselves in their made up world. When they meet up with their other cousins (Ellen,Ruth, and Patrick) they soon find out things there arn't what they have made to be.

Many desisions come to the cousins to either go with the story or go with what the think should have been instead.

Great book!

This review is from: Secret Counrty Trilogy #1 Secret Country (Mass Market Paperback)

I was going up and down the isle of my favorite book store when I stumbled on the interesting cover of this book. I picked it up going, wow, what is this about? I read the back cover. My heart raced suddenly. Could it be true? A book with such an interesting story idea like this? I didn't even read the first book but by instinct picked up ALL THREE books in the trilogy at once. Boy, was that a smart thing to do. I'm on the third book The Whim of a Dragon and wish the story didn't end here.

I thought I could never find an author or book I would love as much as I love reading the Harry Potter books but Pamela Dean has moved into my #1 favorite spot as favorite writer of all time. Being a writer myself I just have to say I think Pamela is a GENIUS when it comes to creating worlds and molding characters. For the first time I feel really drawn into a magical world. I just am amazed. When I first started reading I was just blown away. Pamela makes writing look easy. She makes her characters come to life and not leave you alone. I go to bed each night with a silly grin on my face thinking about the many people she has created that linger with through the night.

Pamela, please do never stop writing, the world needs more writers like you with awesome books on our shelves! I don't think I can ever get enough of this book, I'm buying a copy for everyone I know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad
Maybe it's just me. I enjoyed reading the first in the trilogy, but wasn't knocked away by it at the same time.
The plot moves along a bit too slow for me. Read more
