Ilustration In Favor Of Books Darkhenge

It's been three months since Rob's younger sister, Chloe, fell into a coma after a riding accident, and his life is in disarray. Rob's parents spend most of their time at his sister's bedside, and his best friend is afraid to talk to Rob about Chloe. To distract himself, Rob takes a job working at a secret archaeological site, where workers have uncovered a mystical ring of black timbers. At its center an ancient tree is buried upside down in the earth--a tree with the power to transport Rob to the Unworld, where Chloe lives in a forest of enchanting dreams, trapped between life and death. Catherine Fisher has combined a fascinating exploration of myth with a modern quest for understanding. Where is the land of the imagination? And if we found our way there, would we ever want to come back?

Assessment About Books Darkhenge

The first two thirds of this book were slow going for me. The descriptions of scenery were more interesting than the action or main characters. If the rest of the book had been like that, I would have given it three stars. But the last third completely made up for that. At the end I gained new insight into the story of Taliesin and Ceridwen, which I have loved since I was a child. Any book that can make me do that deserves a high rating. I also appreciated reading a book rooted in paganism,

When I first looked at the back cover of this edition, I sort of sneered at the review from the Sunday Times (London). "Catherine Fisher is a writer of rare talent..." Talk about a bland one-liner that says nothing. Yet here I am trying to write a review about a book that is was so absorbing, and yet so hazy and hard to describe. One thing I can say with certainty is how much I love the way Fisher excels at meshing the world around us with the world of imagination and myth. Truly, she is a

I got this book back when I was a young teenager when it was Uncorrected Proof from Harper Collin's. I had a hard time getting through it the first time, due to really bad things in my life happening. I got around to it, and I recently reread it. This book is beautifully written and introduces you to a world that you question. You wonder what is going on, and this book keeps you guessing. I couldn't predict most scenes.

I'm not exactly sure what I think of this book, the first bit was slow and confusing and it was king of hard to get into. I stopped for a while in the middle and then I lost it. When I found it again I started reading it and I got right into it. I loved Catherine Fisher's other books so I was kind of disappointed by this one until there were only about a hundred pages left and the action picked up. At the end I was still left feeling confused about some things but I thinks that's one of the

This felt like a darker fairy tale, and as always, Catherine Fisher does an amazing job telling it.Darkhenge is about Rob, whose sister Chloe appears to be in a coma, but is actually stuck in the Unworld, Annwn. A big theme in this is being your own worst enemy, because Chloe doesn't want to leave, especially with her brother who has overshadowed her in everything he does. It's interesting because there isn't a true antagonist. The one disappointing bit is that we never find out what's behind

I have to admit at the beginning I really didn't like this book, simply because it was description after description and I couldn't even think about the story line and because I don't like 2nd person perspective. But by 50 pages in actually really began to like it, the concept was really unique even though it took me a while to understand the Welsh Mythology. I haven't read a fantasy in a long time so I'm surprised I read it so quick but honestly I loved it and all the characters especially the

When I first started reading this book, I had some problems with the mystical, dreamy, roundabout way it was written. As I got deeper into the story, I had some problems with the foundational premise of the plot. By the end of the book, I really liked it though!This book tells the story of Rob, a boy whose sister is in a coma due to an accident. Rob's family, of course, has difficulty dealing with this situation. From there, the story intertwines bits of Welsh mythology and pieces of modern
