Charlie Bone and the Beast (2007)
What I liked:-Dagbert. I thought he was a fascinating character, and I loved the ill effects his power had. Having to carry around those little golden sea creatures forever can’t be easy. Even though I knew that he was going to be evil when he showed up with Lord Grimwald, I honestly thought he w...
Charlie Bone and the Time Twister (2003)
Initial thoughts on completion:Once again, this was an enjoyable story and a great diversion from everyday normal life. The same familiar characters are back and we get to meet a few new ones. The subject of time travel is always an interesting one, though I'm not sure it was very well thought ou...
Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors (2005)
Charlie Bone is worried about his friend, Billy Raven. Billy, an albino and an orphan, has longed for a family of his own and it seems like his wish has come true when Mr. and Mrs. de Grey agree to adopt him. Charlie is happy for Billy, but the de Grey's are friends of the Bloor family and Charli...
Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy (2004)
This book had the same strengths and weaknesses, really, of the first two: fun characters, interesting settings, bad writing. I found it a bit episodic: Charlie and friends uncover a new problem to solve, and another, and another . . . I also took issue with the weak villains.It's funny: as ...
Midnight for Charlie Bone (2003)
Now first let me get this out of the way. A lot of people think Charlie Bone is a downright rip-off of Harry Potter. I'm here to tell you that No, it is not. In fact it is very different. YES it does have a character who finds out he has a magical ability, and YES he gets sent to a school/academy...
Children of the Red King #7: Charlie Bone and the Shadow (2008)
This Charlie Bone isn't quite as good as the Wilderness Wolf, but still pretty good. Once Charlie escapes from the Badlock,the plot really gets going. Then when Tancred 'dies' we have a real climax point building, because there are ever so many more things they can do with the Bloors thinking Tan...
Charlie Bone & The Shadow Of Badlock 7 (2000)
Honestly, I had difficulty getting into this book. The scenes with Charlie in the painting and his friends on the outside were incredibly boring, and I really didn't want the entire book to end up that way. Again, Benjamin bothered me. It is NOT Charlie's fault that your dog ran into the painting...
Charlie Bone And The Shadow Of Badlock (2000)
For me, this was the most suspenseful, dramatic volume of the series thus far. Charlie found himself in constant perilous situations, some much more severe than those in past books, and during such times, he becomes truly powerless and helpless and reaps the consequences of his involvement with ...
Charlie Bone und der Scharlachrote Ritter (2010)
I love a good happy ending. Disappointed with the ending. :(
Charlie Bone and the Shadow (2008)
Good story, though a few things confused me. In Charlie Bone and the Castle of Mirrors, I thought Albert Tuccini had destroyed the walls of history so as to save Charlie, but Otus Yewbeam is later reunited with his wife, Amoret, through them. I also thought that Dagbert was going to be one of t...
Charlie Bone and the Red Knight (2000)
