Summary: This book is for everyone. Amazing!
Comment: I first read the Dark is Rising sequence in 8th grade and am now re-reading it at the age of 21. I still feel the magic and splendor of the series. It's the best fantasy I've ever read and I am a true bookworm with a library of Tolkien, Lewis, and even Rowling. This book has unexplainable magic and is brilliantly crafted by Ms. Cooper. In fact, the entire series is a must-read for anyone and everyone, regardless of age.
Just spectacular!

Summary: The Dark is Rising
Comment: The main character in this stry is Will Stanton. Will always thought that he was a regular boy. In a mid winter's day, the day before his birthday, his life changed forever. He started to get these weird signs and coincidences. Like how animals are scared of him, seeing things that other people aren't abled to see, and the feeling of being terrified all the time came to him. He saw this dark person with a white horse. Then he met up with a group called the Old Ones. He found out that he was the last hope and the last one born of their kind. So he is the end of the generation or sequence. He also finds out that he is a sign seeker. A sign seeker is a person who has to find and guard the signs. So he learns what his job is and his purpose. He was destined to battle against the Dark and bring back the powers back to the good. Will has to guard 6 signs of light, fire, water, stone, bronze, iron, and wood. In the end if he finds all 6 signs, put them together, there will be enough power to overcome the Dark side. The book to me was alright. But it was still good. It was kind of difficult for me to understand. I would give this book a 4. Just thinking of how Susan Cooper came up with this story is amazing.

The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper is a very good book. It is about a boy named Will who finds out he is of a special group called the "old ones". The " old ones'" job is to keep the dark from taking over. Will sets out on a quest to find the signs.
I really enjoyed this book. There is not much that I can say bad about it, except I did not think that Merriman was fit to be the butler, I think that he would be more fit to be the owner of the manor. ""A light for your candles," Merriman said in low respectable tones", Merriman is just not a follower or a servant, he is more of a leader or a master.
There are so many good things about this book that I could not begin to write about, so I will just touch on a few of them. This book keeps you in suspense and is very hard to put down. The plot of the story is very interesting. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
My favorite part of the book is when Will wakes up on his birthday and everyone else was in a deep sleep. When he left the house he noticed that everything was different, and then he found out that he had been brought to a different time. I like this part because of the subtle suspense that is there, but more in the background. This part also has a feeling of mystery.
