What a wonderful trip down memory lane 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

It is always a pleasure to see what the authors we love read. Most of the short stories in this compilation were not new to me, but what a joy to read them again. The few stories I had not yet read were also enjoyable and introduced me to a few new authors. This is the sort of book to keep in your car, or on hand for those times when a short story is just the thing to keep your mind working and prevent boredom.

Editorial Review:

Unexplained disappearances, daring thefts, perplexing mysteries, and the greatest sleuths of all time combine in this page-turning read. From Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot, famous detectives puzzle their way through a maze of alibis and motives in this superb selection of classic and contemporary crime fiction.

The Firework-Maker's Daughter 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I am reviewing The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. I would give this book 5 stars because it is very descriptive. This story is about a girl name Lila who wanted to be a firework maker. She asked her friend Chulak to ask her father how to be a firework-maker. Chulak told her she needed to go to Mount Merapi. The only thing she didn't know was that she needed the water from the goddess of the lake.

Perfectly crafted 5 out of 5 stars.

A perfectly crafted children's story, a lovely balance and the characters were delightful. Some of the wit reminded me of Terry Pratchet but alot more subtle.

I like Philip Pullman, but... 3 out of 5 stars.

A bit shallow for Pullman. Not as interesting as I'd hoped.

Editorial Review:

More than anything else in the world, Lila wants to be a Firework-Maker. But every Firework-Maker must make a perilous journey to face the terrifying Fire-Fiend! Can Lila possibly survive? Especially when she doesn't know she needs special protection to survive his flames...The exciting and heart-warming story of Lila's journey to face the fearful fire demon fizzes with fun and drama.

Great Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book was the scariest book I have ever read. All of the characters are deep, and the plots are very complex and twisted. It is a thuroughly enchanting book, all of the books in it, I should say. All of the stories grab you and don't let go. It's a full time thriller, you can't get away.

A collection of some of the best detective stories ever. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

DETECTIVE STORIES is a wonderful compilation of a few of the best detective stories that have ever been written. Some stories, others elaborate, some puzzling, and some rather comical, this wonderful novel includes mysteries written by legendary detective authors such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, Raymond Smullyan, Issac Asimov, Italo Calvino, And Tony Fletcher. The first story, THE SPECKLED BAND, is by Arthur Conan Doyle and features everyone's favorite detective: Sherlock Holmes. It's a little bit of a scary story involving a terrified woman who hears the strange, low whistle is the night air that once killed her sister while she was sleeping. The mystery is deep and dangerous, and chilling. Another personal favorite of mine was THE CROSS OF LORRAINE by Isaac Asimov, which elaborately tells the story of a keen magician who met a woman who disappeared as soon as he took a liking in her. Even he can't find her, and when he tells the story of the vanished lady to guests at a dinner, the plot of the mysterious vanishing thickens. Yet another wonderful mystery is that of FINGERPRINTING A GHOST, by Tony Fletcher. It is a frightening tale that involves the obvious supernatural: taking the fingerprints of a mysterious ghost that appears and reappears in an old house in order to solve a mystery. These are just some of the mysteries available in this great novel selected by my favorite author, Philip Pullman, who also wrote the wonderful HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy and the thrilling Sally Lockhart mystery trilogy. It even has one very silly and comical story just for fun in case the reader has had too many serious reads. Any detective story fan shouldn't miss out on this thrilling read, perfect just before bed when it is at the peak of its fright.

Editorial Review:

Young mystery fans will be enthralled by this compelling volume of detective fiction that includes both classic and contemporary writers such as Italo Calvino, Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, Damon Runyon, and Andrew Vachss.

AKA The White Mercedes 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

You should know that this YA novel is also known by another title: The White Mercedes. Perhaps it's a matter of British marketing. However, a film is being prepared (with Pullman's enthusiasm) under this title. Yes, it's dark. Tragic. As with all the great tragedies we've read: Don't get caught in the plot - get caught in the characters and then see what you think.

Another Pullman and Another Oxford but Worth Reading Still 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Fans of Pullman's trilogy should receive a fair warning before moving any further. This is not Lyra's Oxford, this is our Oxford so expect thugs, sex, crime but also love, trust and friendship.
Pullman retells the story of Romeo and Juliet with extreme adroitness. He manages to keep the lyrical beauty and truth of the play and avoids desperate attempts of retaining any elements that would seem dated and out of place in a modern novel.
This is a novel for younger adults but if you feel that your 13+ year olds have never heard about sex, you may need to read it first yourself. The danger is you may get hooked on Pullman seriously.

Editorial Review:

Chris falls in love with Jenny the moment he sets eyes on her at an Oxford ball. She's beautiful but secretive and he can't help but want to be with her. But fate is cruel and, as their relationship blossoms, tragedy and violence wait in the wings. Chris's boss has a shady past that won't stay hidden. And his ruthless enemies will use two innocent teenagers to exact their revenge on him ...

Excelente material de lectura. En mi caso hay alrededor de 10 caras de paginas que no fueron impresas y quedaron en blanco.

Si eres fanatico de Harry Potter o literatura del mismo estilo, esta trilogia te encantara.

Recomendado!!!
