Perhaps the original novel would have worked better than this graphic novel. View 1 comment. Dec 24, Emma rated it liked it. Not my type of book. Good for its genre. Aug 15, Mehsi rated it it was ok Shelves: warning-english-booksthe-butler-did- itoctarine2-twinkling-starsdon-t-turn-off-the-lightsgraphic-novels. Maybe it has been too long, maybe I got too old for this story, but I just was shaking my head so much while reading this book. Sure, they just had a hell of a night, but it was just a bit silly. I dare to bet that the next one will be the same. I also don't mind Spanish in my books, but please give me a translation. I just gave up Google Translating the stuff, and that is a shame. I didn't get most of what Pedro said. Here, you don't. I took a small course several years ago, but most of it has gone to the lurking depths of my The Power of Five: Evil Star - The Graphic Novel. So yeah, it is a shame. And that was also a problem. I don't mind gore or violence that much, but it was just too much in this book. Bullets, accidents, fires, knives, murders, everyone just dies in such a gruesome way that it was just too much for me. It just made me think that the writer just wrote them for the sake of it, or for getting more kids to like the books. The dream sequences were just silly and meh. Especially considering the situations these guys were in. I also got really tired of Matt's and Pedro's whining and complaining. Yes, it sucks that you are the chosen one, yes it sucks you have to do it. But come on guys, do you need to complain all the time? Can't you for once try to actually be awesome? Maybe that is too much to ask of children. Also kind of weird that they had to go to a specialist for the lines, while I would expect those Incans to know about such stuff. The art, the art is so ugly and hideous. At times it just looks drawn in a hurry, quick quick, but other times it is just so detailed it gets ugly. People look like zombies, people look like pandas, people don't even look like people any more. There is sadly no real balance in this book. It is either overly simple or it is overly detailed to make it ugly. And since for me at least the art is the most important in a graphic novel, I am deducting 2 stars for it. Will I be reading the other graphic novels if I see them? Probably not. No I wouldn't. Unless you like the art style, don't mind overdone gruesome deaths, whiny protagonists, monster of the book stuff. Jan 13, David rated it liked it Shelves: books-borrowedjanuarycomics-and-graphic-novels. A bit of escapism, both in literary style ie graphic novel and content ie end of the world predictions, race against time etc. Some interesting references to Aztec civilisation, the Incas and ancient cultures around the world. Apr 18, Wilde Sky rated it liked it. A young boy battles to stop dark forces taking over the world. A reasonable story but the graphics were a bit too sketchy - in my opinion.

  • The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz It Is 1890
    The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz It is 1890. A year after Sherlock Holmes's death, Watson – now in a retirement home – narrates a tale of Sherlockian detection that could tear apart the very fabric of society. The story opens with a train robbery in Boston, and moves to the innocuous setting of Wimbledon. Why you'll like it: Historical mystery, intricately plotted, fast-paced, suspenseful. About the Author: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England on April 5, 1956. He writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. (Bowker Author Biography) Questions for Discussion 1. Do you think that you need to have read the original Sherlock Holmes novels to enjoy The House of Silk? Do you feel that the new author set the tone of the book correctly? Did Horowitz bring a new dimension to the characters? 2. Holmes's way of looking at people, making a grand statement and then explaining it based on his observations, is meant to convey to you the idea that he sees things that you, the reader, cannot see and from these observations he makes calculated guesses based on his knowledge, which you do not share. Does that still work now, that we have televised sleuthing and we are used to seeing the evidence that the detective sees? 3.

    FUNERAL VOICES When the doorbell rings at three in the morning, it’s never good news. Alex Rider was woken by the first chime. His eyes flickered open but for a moment he stayed completely still in his bed, lying on his back with his head resting on the pillow. He heard a bed- room door open and a creak of wood as somebody went downstairs. The bell rang a second time and he looked at the alarm clock glowing beside him. 3.02 a.m. There was a rattle as someone slid the security chain off the front door. He rolled out of bed and walked over to the open window, his bare feet pressing down the carpet pile. The moonlight spilled on to his chest and shoulders. Alex was fourteen, already well- built, with the body of an athlete. His hair, cut 9 short apart from two thick strands hanging over his forehead, was fair. His eyes were brown and serious. For a moment he stood silently, half- hidden in the shadow, looking out. There was a police car parked outside. From his second-floor window Alex could see the black ID number on the roof and the caps of the two men who were stand- ing in front of the door. The porch light went on and, at the same time, the door opened. “Mrs Rider?” “No. I’m the housekeeper. What is it? What’s happened?” “This is the home of Mr Ian Rider?” “Yes.” “I wonder if we could come in…” And Alex already knew.

    RAVENS GATE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Anthony Horowitz | 270 pages | 15 Nov 2006 | Scholastic US | 9780439680097 | English | New York, United States Ravens Gate PDF Book Was this review helpful to you? Creepy things did happen, but all the way through the book I felt disconnected with everything that happened, it definitely wasn't John Saul or Stephen King bone chilling, not all. I will say 1. The only thing I'd warn parents about is that there's a lot of violence in the book, with one character dying graphically in the course of the book. But there was something missing. Soon birds start falling from the sky, water begins mysteriously drying up, strange radio problems start popping up, strange lights amid people disappearing, and most of all people and animals start acting more viciously all of a sudden. Close Menu. Raven's Gate is the re-written form of The Devil's Door Bell published , I can't comment on what has and hasn't changed in the text of this version and Anthony Horowitz 's book published over twenty years ago. Marsh is about to stab the knife into Matt when Matt uses his powers to stop the knife. They then go back to Richard's house in York. Sep 28, Leslie Mansilla rated it it was amazing. This book is fast-paced suspenseful, and just awesome! Matt visits his house the next day and finds Tom Burgess murdered, with the words "Raven's Gate" painted on the wall in green. After he makes his decision he started to get aware of some things that were happening there, and he gets to know that he's special, that he's not just a normal kid, but he's part of something else, something bigger.
