Summary: Scary fairytale!
Comment: Clockwork is the first book that I've read by the author Philip Pullman. It is also the first book I've read in a fairytale style. At first I thought I wouldn't enjoy Clockwork because I usually don't read fairytales, but once I got into it, I started to enjoy it! It was scary, and I like scary stories. It was also very complex, a sort of story inside a story inside a story - if you know what I mean. I recommend this book for older kids. My favorite part is when Fritz the writer is reading his story.

Summary: sweet and scary
Comment: like most people who also wrote reviews for this book, i bought this after reading "his dark material" trilogy, trying to fill the gap in my heart after lyra and will went away.
it's by no mean did that, this story's very short, and the charecter are very superficial, as they often do in a story this short, and you can't realy learn to like or care much for them. however, i did find a very interesting and dark tale and a wonderful cinical methaphore for time and death and how life goes round like a story. also it has a wonderfuly happy ending - what more can i ask.
however, i can't say that this story's suitble for the age goup amazon desided to put this book in (9-12) i'm 28 and this book gave me chills. i think every parent who gives his kid this book should read it first and chack (you'll have fun i promise).
one more thing - i don't know if it was just my copy, but the binding wasn't done very well, too much glue made the pages a bit uneasy to turn and they had unapealing wrinkels and small folds in the inner edge, for me that's a bit of a turn off when it comes to books.
i did had 3 really nice day of very light reading with it, it's the kind of book that's great to finish in an evening near the fire around holloween.

Summary: This book rocks!
Comment: This book ROCKS!!!!! It has adventure, mystery, and horror!! It may not be suitable for all ages (some "violent" events, and very descriptive scenes that aren't always "happy") and in my opinion, children nine years and older should read it because It is one good book!!! Here is a sample from the book that got me hooked.
"No! No! Stop-wait-the tune-let me whistle the tune-"
But his lips were too dry. Frantic, he licked them with a dry tongue. No use! He couldn't product a sound. Near and nearer the little knight came.....
Does the little knight use his sword to hurt the man, or does the man get away? Why does he need to whistle, and why does that seem to save his life.
You HAVE to read this book!!
