4.0 out of 5 stars A gripping sequel, 14 April 2008
By Secret Spi (Germany) - See all my reviews
In "Tom Trueheart and the Land of Dark Stories", Ian Beck continues the adventures of young Tom, his brothers and their brides-to-be, Tom's companion Jollity and the evil Ormestone, now the self-styled King of the Land of Dark Stories.

The plot is well thought-out and will keep children (and parents) on the edge of their seats! I won't give away too much of what happens but it looks as if Tom's adventures are not over yet. The book is a lot more frightening than the first one, as you might expect from the title, but that's no bad thing as children can "grow up" with the books.

The story is quite long and the plot fairly complicated so you do have to go back sometimes to remind yourself of who was where and in which state of peril when you last left them! It doesn't have the familiar repetitive structure of the first book and these aspects mean that it's best suited to age 7 upwards. But it's a great story and lives up to the high standard set by the first book, to all extents and purposes.
