Mister Monday Audiobook

" right now i am on page 175 when Arther had met the Will and Suzy. They almost got completly squashed when a elavator suddenly stopped! They are also getting chased by man eating dogs wearing coats and bowler hats. AWKWARD!!!! "

" 3.5 stars. Maybe I'll see how the rest of the series goes, but I'm not anxious to continue it right now. "

" Ugh. I tried so hard to read this since it kept popping up on my friends' feeds. It was just too boring. "

" I love books that are hard to explain to other people. This is one of those! "

" Recommended to me by someone in my class. "

" A rough start and shaky phrasings get this story going into what eventually turns out to be a pretty decent story. Garth Nix's writing style still remains too meta for a third person children's book, at least for my taste. That is to say, I enjoy meta-fiction, but I don't enjoy reading a story that has random metaphors that doesn't add to the plot. His techniques aren't well defined until half-way through the story when the plot starts to flow. Even then, some chapters seem forced. It's as if Mr. Nix has an idea for a story, made an outline, and filled in the blanks loosely. I'm still trying to figure out how Mr. Nix received awards for his writing prowess. "

" I couldn't get past the first couple of chapters. "

" The "action" portion of the story seemed a little lengthy. I can see middle school boys really enjoying this story. I listened to the cd version of it. "

" This book had me scratching my head at first, but I kept at it. It is a different kind of fantasy---Garth Nix made up a whole new kind of world with his own rules, but the characters grow on you and the whole series improves as you go through it. At least I thought so. "

" While my academic focus lies in young adult fiction, this was too young even for me. The story, while dark and creative, wraps ups too quickly and I find I don't have any desire to read the rest of the series. "

" I am really into fantasy books like this. this is a good young aduld fantasy "

" Pretty good for a young adult series. Nix doesn't draw me in quite like he does with the Abhorsen series, but it isn't bad and keeps me good company while I'm driving. "

" An overall enjoyable book. There's nothing about it that's particularly striking and the characters, while nice, are nothing to rave about (though I do confess a fondness for Monday's Dusk, who unfortunately has too little showtime to be more rounded), but it's still a worthwhile couple of hours. "

" I just thought this was one of the best starts to a series ever. The idea of a world run by entities as represented by days of week and minions whose personalities were based on time of day... brilliant. Monday's Dusk is one of my all-time fave characters. "

" It was great. I loved it. "

" Odd but interesting book. Parts were a bit complex as I believe they were setting the stage for the rest of the series, but the deeper meanings weren't hidden all that deep. I really liked it, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series! "

" FINALLY read the book Sandra recommended TWO YEARS ago. It's been on my coffee table all that time!! But was good, as she said. :-) "

" Read this a few years ago on a car ride home from Kansas and I read it in about 5 hours, it was that good. Really captivating plot line and really fun to watch Aurthur's progress through the kingdom. Great read! "

" I love good teen novels. At the very beginning of this one I wasn't too impressed (and a little confused) but I read on until it haunted me to come back and finish it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series "

" its a great first book to the series read in one day. "

" Had to hang on to my hat to keep up with what was happening. Very fanciful, but very fun. Quite adventurous and unique. Enjoyed the series. "

" Good book. Interesting new world that feeds the imagination "

" Pretty good but weird "

" I really enjoyed reading this, and I especially like the fact that each day is corrupt and evil!!!! I think this is a series that I will finish reading... "

" Fantasy, The Phantom Tollbooth-esque. It was cute, and I liked it, but not incredible. "

" When I started this series, it was such an interesting concept. I really liked it. But as I got further and further into the series, it wasn't so good. But I had to finish it to see how it ended. "

" This was soooo very interesting! Thanks to MissThink, I found Mr. Nix. This was an awesome, intriguing, genuinely unique read! "

" Pretty good writing and a clever, thematic plot. I plan on reading the whole series because I know there is something Literary (notice the capital "L") here. "

" 3.5 stars. Maybe I'll see how the rest of the series goes, but I'm not anxious to continue it right now. "

" I wasn't thrilled with the book. An asthmatic kid trying to save the world. I was ready to like it, but it just didn't suck me in like I was hoping. "

" I didn't like it as much as Abhorsen, but it definitely holds it's own. Good series for Jr. High. "

" This is a really good book. It's also a really good series to read. The library only has the first 5 out of 7 books though so that kind of annoys me... "

" Strange, yet fantastic. Nix is amazing at fusing literary elements with fantasy overtones. I'm reading the series start to finish as of Saturday. "

" My daughter suggested this book, and i really enjoyed it. It's really cool fantasy, possibly sci fi? At first it's very confusing, but has lots of interesting twists and action. It's part of a 7 book series, and i've already requested the rest. Lots of fun, and a quick read. "
