This is a book of two halves. Five stars for the first half and one star for the second half. Other reviewers have said they thought this book was finished by a different author and I seriously wonder if that is true. The beginning is brilliant. This ...more | |
"A fitting conclusion to an exciting series. Joe St George is a likeable, brave hero, quick thinking and inventive, both ruthless and humane, a well-trained spy and yet still, just a boy. I loved the background of well-researched historical facts as t"

"After Andrew Lane's horrifically bad young Sherlock Holmes novels, I thought I was through with YA fiction for a long time. But this book has really restored my faith! Brian Falkner takes a six year old boy's premise -- gigantic dinosaurs turned into"

"Even better than the first. A fantastic series to hook college students into. If the size puts them off challenge them to read the first couple of chapters.
Brian Falkner's done a fantastic job. Can't wait for the next one." |

“We are our memories," Dodge said. "That's all we are. That's what makes us the person we are. The sum of all our memories from the day we were born. If you took a person and replaced his set of memories with another set, he'd be a different person. He'd think, act, and feel things differently.”

“It must be a matter of constant surprise to dogs that humans never actually get any smarter and just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Of course cats figured this out years ago, which is why they treat humans with such contempt.”

“I cannot promise for another day," the lion said. 'And I cannot guarantee what other lions may do if they catch you alone in the forest. But tonight you are safe."
"Thank you," Cecilia said again. "May I touch you?"
"Touch me? Why?" the old lion asked.
"Because I want to," Cecilia said.
The lion looked at her for a moment, then nodded. Cecilia stepped forward and put her arms around the lion's neck, hugging him, feeling the coarse hair of his mane rub on her cheek and neck.
'Are you crazy?" she heard Avery say behind her.”

“Cecilia listened carefully. There it was: a low rasp of breath, in and out. With all the snoring around them she hadn't noticed it before. She couldn't tell how far away it was, but it sounded close.
That was the last thing they needed. An insomniac lion.”

“It should be terrifying, Cecilia thought, but it's somehow beautiful. They were lost in a maze in a dark forest filled with man-eating lions, which should have been enough to have them cowering and crying on the ground. But instead Cecilia felt bold.
Perhaps she had just run out of fear. She had been using so much of it in the castle, with the King and his evil guards. Maybe fear was like water in a glass, and when you used it all up and there was nothing left in the glass, then you weren't afraid anymore.
Cecilia was not afraid.”
