5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Novel for Kids, Jun 16 2004

By	Junipertree - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jesse Jameson and the Golden Glow (Paperback)

I have recently come across this book because it was recommended in Book and Magazine Collectors July Edition as 'One to Watch.' I am a keen collector of children's modern fiction, and to see Sean Wright placed alongside JK Rowling, Pullman, GP Taylor, Snicket, Colfer, Nix, Reeve, Augarde, Hussey, Paolini and Funke as one of the most collectable children's authors in the world was really rather remarkable.

I was intrigued, and read the Golden Glow with an enormous amount of pleasure. This book has all the right ingredience for a super children's story: action, magic, and unforgetable characters. There is a great sense of fun in this book, and all the plaudits that have been heaped upon it are well-deserved. Does it match up to the great names in modern children's writing? Yes, indeed. I think Sean Wright is a terrific children's author, and a forerunner in the 'New Collectables' of children's fiction

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational - Golden Glow, May 28 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jesse Jameson and the Golden Glow (Paperback)

I don't normally read too much fantasy/sci-fi books unless I'm familiar with a series or author. When I got Sabriel, though, I knew right away that it was one of those few sci-fi's that can actually keep me interested the whole way. The plot is very intriguing, and the characters can be both serious and hillarious at the same time. Somehow, Sean Wright has managed to create a magical, yet realistic world filled with suspense, romance, and action. It was this book that inspired me to become a fan of Wright, making him one of my favorite writers of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first novel, May 24 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Jesse Jameson and the Golden Glow (Paperback)

I thought that Golden Glow was a wonderful first time book for kids. I read it to my twins and they loved it. Judy and Trudy are not exactly the easiest pair to pacify or entertain, but Golden Glow did it for them. Especially as two of the main characters in the book have the same name as my girls. That really helped a lot. Yeah, they loved that.

I would recommended this book to anyone with a sense of childish humour. Great fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesse Jameson - simply the best book I have ever read!
As an eleven year old, I haven't read thousands of books. But I know what I like. If you like Lemony Snickett, and Harry Potter, this book is for you. Read more
