Liked It “Awesome!!!!!!!!” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “Read it for the college book club and it was altogether not a popular book. The language is forced and dated, the characters and plot cliché and the descriptions bland. Might have been good when it was written (1960s) but nowadays there is just too much good fantasy around for this to work.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Originally written as a children's book I think, this is one of my all time favourites, I have read it many times and am sure I will re-read it many more. It is a brilliant combination of fantasy and magical realism. Something i really loved about this is that it is set in a real area, Alderly Edge. I have been several times and wandered around the woods and caves that the book was based around, it's a beautiful place.”

“A competent, albeit fairly generic, YA fantasy adventure rooted in Celtic legend - reminiscent of Susan Cooper & Lloyd Alexander but with less fully fleshed characters

“Alan Garner`s The Moon stone of Brsingmen and the Moon of Gomrath, set in wonderful English countryside they follow two children's experiences with dark elves witches and the horned man, a little more like C S Lewiss than Tolkin but very much a book of modern times as opposed to the ivory towers of Oxford and Cambridge

“Very strange book, with fimblewinters and crazy little goblin-like little buggers. Dwarves are also quite different & I felt the story was confusing & didnt engage the reader, especially the characters, they did not have a strong identity like that of Alexander or Tolkien's works.”
