Editorial Review: Product Description: Susan Cooper's brilliant Dark is Rising sequence has enthralled readers since the first book, Over Sea, Under Stone, was published more than forty years ago. The second book, The Dark is Rising, was named a Newberry Honor Book and is now a major motion picture. The fourth, The Grey King, won the Newbery Medal. This handsome boxed set includes all five books in the celebrated sequence. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - wondergreat book series for kids but i had o read them when i was older. still wonderful even for older people Rating:  - Muddled, but Enjoyable(Some Minor Spoilers below.) The Dark is Rising sequence is one of those ubiquitous book series that all children seem required to read, and although I had it on my "to-read" list, I never got to it as a kiddo.

It is a children's series, but adults with an interest in British lore will enjoy it as well. The characters are well drawn, and the rising suspense makes this a page-turner for all. These are books you may well find yourself rereading as an adult! Rating: - Good seriesI'm re-reading the series. The first time I read it, I was 10, but I'm finding that 14 years later, the story is still good. Enjoyable plot and characters. |
