Charlie Bone and the Shadow Audiobook

" Charlie is suspended from the Academy, so he's at home most of the book. He travels into a painting of Badlock and meets his ancestor Otis Yewbeam, the giant. Very cool. We also get some scenes with ben's parents doing their detective work, which is a little different. Overall good installment in the series. "

" My 8 year old still loves these. I will review it completely when I'm done reading it. "

" Too many loose ends left at the end of this book, but all in all rather enjoyable. "

" These books are very enjoyable. We are listening to the audio tapes as a family, and can never wait to see what happens to Charlie next. "

" I liked the new setting but the old character seems a weak thing to write about. Fresh ideas would be nice. I always loved cliff hanger endings but that one sucked. "

" This one didn't resolve as well at the end of the others in the series. I will have to read the next one to figure out what happens, of course - lol. "

" Again, holding off final judgement until the final volume, but I did enjoy the series, more and more as I progressed through it. I will give it a high recommendation for young fantasy fans. "

" I started this book in October -- 8 months to finish it. This is the seventh in a series, kind of a Harry Potter rip-off about a boy with special powers who attends a school for other children with special powers. There are some fun characters and clever adventures, but it just isn't compelling, at least not for me. I will probably read the rest as they come out because I get curious about how things turn out, but it will be a low priority, for sure. "

" Nimmo, you really lost my interest with this one. Started off brilliantly, but now it's running out of metaphorical steam. "

" I really like these books, but i just realized in all the books, Ms. Nimmo never mentions the name of the city that Charlie and his friends live in. "

" I really liked this book because the problem was very clear,very quickly. "

" Somewhat unfocused. "

" Good book, with Charlie having to battle the evil sorcerer Harken, a.k.a. The Shadow "

" Not a satisfying ending. On to book 8! "

" Same as others. Enjoyable, quick, but simple. Great kid's read. "

" Another wonderful book. Let's keep the Charlie Bone train moving! "

" The rampant child abuse and abandonment in this story and the ones before it is sickening. If I wasn't compulsive about finishing stories I wouldn't read the next one, but unfortunately for me I need to at least try and finish the series:-( "

" GUH... why, oh why, Jenny Nimmo, must you end these books on a cliffhanger? Please write faster, kthxbai. "

" One of my favorites in this series. "

" These books just seem to drag "

" OMIGOSH! The ending made me happy! I still loathe that Dagbert though. And Billy made a terrible decision! :( Poor Billy.... "

" Of course it ended with a cliff hanger that needs to be solved in the next book - yet to be written. But a fun fast read. "

" Much better than the last few. "

" really good book... but you have to read the 1st 6 to understand it.... "

" charlie bone's father still has not returned from his sail and i cannot wait until the next book comes out. also very sad with a happy ending. "

" Continuing saga of Charlie Bone in equally delightful seventh book. This series definitely benefits from reading first to last in order. "

" great book but a little confusing! i had to read it four times to really understand. "

" Cute book... and even a bit of a "cliff hanger" ending. I will eagerly await #8. I like Charlie - doesn't take a lot of brain power but still a very enjoyable read. "

" one word:....UNBELIEVEABLE!! "

" This book is a good one. Anyone intrested in evil great-aunts,endowments and a magical school this is your series. "

" I can tell from the plot description that I read this, but it wasn't particularly memorable. "

" A good end to this series. The writing isn't super good and the plot line could be better done but the stories must be good enough to make me read 7 books. "

" A wonderful conclusion to this spetcular series. Charlie Bone will live forever. "

" Now that I finished the whole series I found I really enjoyed it. The ending was great. Some of the books could have been combined but not a big deal. "

" It was a little anti-climatic. Interesting twist at then end. Still never found out what the talent was of some of the characters that came and left. Lots of loose ends, but it was an okay book. "

" Not a bad ending to the series. "

" This is a good series. Although some have compared it to Harry Potter due to some similar story lines, it is a much lighter read than HP. I believe it is a better suited story for younger children. "

" The eighth and final Charlie Bone book features a familiar blend of magic, danger, and intrigue. Charlie Bone needs to defeat the evil Bloors and his scheming relatives in order to save his parents and his friend Billy. Fans of the series won't want to miss this! "

" A fabulous ending to the series. I honestly did not see the twists and turns coming. I wish there were more books to come. "

" Satisfying conclusion to the series. Happy ending for everyone, too, with bad guys getting their just desserts. "
