4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, Jun 22 2004
This review is from: Curse Of The Blue Figurine (Hardcover)
This was a very good book and I encourage everybody to read it. It deals with curses which is awesome and obvious from the title. The story flows very smoothly and I could read it again and again. It is my favorite book by Bellairs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense Masterpiece!, Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Curse Of The Blue Figurine (Paperback)
I read this book as an early teen and loved the characters, the plot and the suspense. It was terrifying without being cornball, sympathetic to the characters, and written on a level that children could understand and adults could still enjoy. The mythological undertones of Father Baart and Lucifer are spine-chilling. I love this book, and it got me hooked on the series. I actually find them more enjoyable than Harry Potter. Happy reading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ, Mar 12 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Curse Of The Blue Figurine (Hardcover)
The title of this book is The Curse of the Blue Figurine written by John Bellairs. This is an awesome book. This story takes place in the past. The main character's name is Jim. Jim is kind of nerdy. The problem in this story is that Jim finds this blue figurine that is cursed.
This book is a must read! This is a horrifying and cool story and is something some people can relate to. It has Lusafur in it, has awesome details like: how they described the whole story line, especially how they described how Santin was vanished back to Hell where it came from, and some people like Gothic people would like this book. All theses factors are the reasons why the story is interesting or is a must read.
John Bellairs is the author of The Curse of the Blue Figurine. John is a Gothic Mystery novel writer. He was born in 1938 and died in 1991. Before he wrote 15 books he went to the University of Chicago. John Bellairs is a great author. He has the most artistic details I have ever read.

...here comes Johnny Dixon. Although I can't help but notice the new cover depicts him as sort of a blonde version of Harry. I always liked the old Edward Gorey cover better. Read more

This book seems to me to be one of the best books in the Johnny Dixon "series," and is second only to the Chessmen of Doom - a truly creepy book. Read more
