Product Description

Review
"'A dramatic and original fantasy... a story of family affections and tensions - a tale of character and feeling as well as mysterious event'. Margaret Mahy, award - winning children's author"

Product Description
Laura comes from a world similar to our own but for one difference: The Place. An unfathomable land filled with dreams of every kind and invisible to all but a select few: the Dreamhunters. Treated as celebrities, the Dreamhunters catch larger-than-life dreams and relay them to audiences in the magnificent dream palace, The Rainbow Opera. Now, 15 year-old Laura and her cousin Rose are going to find out whether they are part of this prestigious group. But nothing in their darkest nightmares can prepare them for what they are about to discover. For within the Place lies a horrific secret kept hidden by corrupt members of the Government. And when Laura's father suddenly disappears, she realises that this secret has the power to destroy everyone she loves...

5.0 out of 5 stars A book beyond your wildest Dreams, 20 Aug 2005
The Rainbow Opera is an amazing book, one of the best I've read in many years. It is well written, packed with suspense, adventure and intrigue, as well as humour and a splash of romance. I really can't wait for the sequel!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rainbow Opera, 26 Feb 2008
By Mrs. S. E. Lowe - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book took a long time to get started, however as it is part of a duet, that wasn't an issue.
Once you get past the first few chapters, it gets to the heart of what the book is about and explains a few things that cause a bit of confusion at the beginning.
Lovely descriptions of the emotions of each character, and you begin to have emotive feelings for a sandy being named Nown!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rainbow Opera, 31 May 2006
For me, this book was good. I thought the idea was very original; something like a mixture of JK Rowling and Cornelia Funke. The idea of showcasing dreams like a film was appealing, and some of the descriptive passages were particularly well written. However, I did think that changing viewpoint so often between the creation of the sandman NOWN and the heroine Laura Hame was confusing. Despite this, a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars the Place for dreams, or nightmares?
Mm, this seemed slow to start with, developing character and relationships. The concept is clever, and good; people who are able to catch dreams, as if they are residual ghosts... Read more
