Summary: An Engaging Read
Comment: This book was cleverly written and was engaging to read. It is separated into short chapters, which are each akin to short bursts of thinking on the protagonist's part. Crossley-Holland successfully portrays a maturing boy with concerns about his future, the class system of the time, and his tail bone, which he believes is growing.
As part of a trilogy, this book is promising. However, it takes a while for the action to begin, and the seeing stone of the title is not employed until nearly half way through the book. The book will be found more interesting by those who have a good knowledge of the original Arturinian legends, since they will be more able to see the parallels between his life and the Arthur of this series'.
Overall, this book is enjoyable and the series is promising.

Summary: Different but entertaining
Comment: This book starts out with a boy that is very confused about what or who he is. Aurthur de Caldicot also has a special friend that has been seen many times before in other King Aurthur stories, Merlin. Merlin give Aurthur a seeing stone which starts to make the story a lot more interesting.
Before the stone was given I was kind of bored and didn't understand how this had any tie-in with King Aurthur, but when you first experience the magic of the Seeing Stone you become a lot more intrigued. This book is worth buying in my opinion and I'm looking forward to reading the next two.

Summary: The Seeing Stone: Sure to be a Favorite
Comment: The Seeing Stone is a wonderful book full of interesting things you cant't keep your nose out of. This read is creative and exciting. The plot is a great one although it starts out a little confusing and slow. I do recommend this book.
