5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, 14 May 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Highfield Mole: Bk. 1: The Circle in the Spiral: Bk. 1 (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my teenage son but decided to read it for myself. I am so glad I did. It is an excellent read which will appeal to adults and older children alike. It has lots of unexpected twists in the plot which add to the excitement. I found it a gripping read VERY WELL written and the excellent illustrations brought the story to life for me. I too can see this book being made into a film in the future and very much look forward to the next book in the series. A Highly Recommended absorbing read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Classic, 1 May 2005
This review is from: The Highfield Mole: Bk. 1: The Circle in the Spiral: Bk. 1 (Hardcover)
I would say unreservedly that this book is destined to be a classic. It's one of those rare reads that you genuinely can't put down. The suspense builds and builds, the pace accelerating to the point that when you are forced to close the covers, the story stays with you, buzzing in your head and nagging at you to open them again. And the twists and turns in the plot hit you with all the force of shovel, square in the middle of your back. You won't see them coming. It's both a gripping adventure for young teenagers, and for adults who will fully appreciate the immense depth of thought and imagination that has gone into the book. It would translate with very little effort to the big screen but that's not my main concern - I just want the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out Harry Potter, Burrows Will Undermine You!, 18 Mar 2005
Aargh! where is the next volume? Great read and really gets you thinking about what is under your feet. I'll never again be able to walk around London to look at a boarded up entrance without wondering what mystery could be behind and below it. The book develops really well and carries you along at a cracking pace which only makes the end come upon you quickly and infuriatingly. There is plenty of room for the story to develop and I am sure the film industry will be keen to get hold of this. The illustrations really reflect the mysteries of this under-earth world and get your imagination going. I really look forward to the next 2 volumes.

I'm afraid this book isn't the next Harry Potter. It's unexciting, overhyped and I fell asleep trying to read the first twenty pages.
