2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, Jan 16 2006

By A Customer

This review is from: Buried Fire (Paperback)

This is, without question, one of the worst books ever writen. It starts out very weak and soon works its way up...only to go back down again. Trust me, it's not worth buying. Now im not saying it's the worst book out there, but it's pretty close. it lacks everything a good book needs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book by the author of the Bartimaeus trilogy, May 31 2004

By	Michael Mihalik "Author, Debt is Slavery and ... (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

After reading The Amulet of Samarkand, I had to read more Jonathan Stroud. Of course, his other books can't be found here in the U.S., so I ordered Buried Fire from the U.K.

Fortunately, the book arrived quickly. Unfortunately, the book was ruined during the torrential rainfall at the Kentucky Derby before I could finish it. Undaunted, I ordered a second copy. Thank God!

The premise of the story is that under a hill near a small English village, a dragon lies sleeping, held prisoner by an ancient spell. Although the dragon is comatose, its will is potent enough to possess and influence humans.

One day, a boy from the nearby village falls asleep on the hill and is consumed by the dragon's thoughts. He gains unnatural powers and begins to transform into something not quite human. Meanwhile, an ancient cross is discovered buried under the local churchyard. Evil happenings then occur.

The book completely possessed me. Except for the interruption of the ill-timed thunderstorm, I read the book straight through. The only (minor) complaint I have is that the ending seemed a bit abrupt. That being said, the book is a very satisfying read and I highly recommend it.
