Ulysses Moore: The Door to Time Audiobook

" I was looking for a good book for my kids and found this one. I enjoy this also and think it would make a good car traveling audio pick! "

" ilustrasi yang menyenangkan. lebih menyenangkan lagi kalo punya sambungannya... *sigh* "

" Some of our members decided they would like to continue the Ulysses Moore series. At the end of the first book, the adventure just stops when the children arrive in Egypt. This book continues the story with plenty of action and some information about ancient Egypt. "

" Very simple..A taste of mystery with a little bit horror added..One thing I dislike about this book is that it's too thin for me!! "

" This book is SO good! It gets confusing, and then it tells you what's rteally going on. It keeps you waiting, and it has a good plot. "

" a children's book so no wonder I find it a little simple, haha. But even when I was a child I think I would have wanted more substance. anyway, this is just the first of what appears to be a long series, I will skip it but maybe my granddaughter will enjoy this book. "

" Perfect adventure fantasy story for kids (9-12). Lots of fun: danger, ghosts, time travel--the works! "

" Really enjoyed this book. Fast moving adventure with just the right amount of magic. "

" Lumayan bagus. Tapi terasa penggambaran karakter tokohnya masih kurang tajam. Bahasanya mudah mengerti, mungkin karena buat anak2 ya? "

" Flat characters, very predictable story line. I got halfway through the book and put it down. I have no attachment to the characters and do not care what happens to them. I guess that says it all. "

" Just finished books 1 & 2 of Ulysses Moore yesterday (yes, both in the same day). Short summary: twin kids move into an old mansion that was owned for 40 years by an eccentric guy who was never seen in town. They invite over a kid to visit while their parents go back to London to finish the move. They are in the care of the housekeeper who came with the house. House has a mysterious door, they happen to find some keys and other clues and wham, they are travelling through time to ancient Egypt in end book 1, start book 2 and decide they were sent there (thanks to one kid's gut) to finish a job for Ulysses Moore. They happen to figure out the job is finding an ancient map, and in less than 24 hrs they find the ancient map that everyone's been hunting for for years and then promptly have it stolen from them by the bad lady. Oh, and in the meantime the main girl was immediately taken back to England in book 2 and with the help of the groundskeeper, has to defend the house from psycho lady's henchman. The premise of the old mysterious house and cliffside town is interesting. The writing is obviously aimed at upper elementary kids. Just given the amount of action that is supposed to have taken place in less than 24 hrs (both book 1 and book 2) and the plot conveniences. I had to keep reminding myself that so as not to get overly upset at the writing for making one kid somehow know all about history, and nature, and...let's just say he would be more realistic as a laptop or robot, but in the absence of those he is a freakishly well-informed 11 year old. I also had to remind myself that it was geared at upper elementary when the kids would have disagreements, be mad at each other for 10 sec and then make up and all was hunkeydorey. Oh, and the hints of danger that never ever get realized, like several people escaping from a pit of snakes unscathed. Even the evil henchman gets knocked off of a 30+ ft cliff onto a rocky shoreline and survives with no injuries other than a broken nose! Now don't get me wrong, I believe there is often too much violence in modern kids lit, but at the same time I don't want them thinking good guys will always make it out of situations unscathed because they are good. Bad things may happen. I also had problems with because the author can't decide if the message of the books is to "just go with your guts and your dreams" or "be wise and think things through". One kid literally makes a leap in the dark in book 1 because his gut "tells him that it will all be ok," and he makes it. Other similar situations follow in books 2. The author does let the pseudo-robot kid freak out and give them a lashing about being foolish. They get to feel bad for about 1 page, and then it turns out everything worked out and random acts of foolishnesh are all ok. Scary. Ok, so interesting premise. I would have liked to see it fleshed out more for adults. In all, an innocent romp in time travel/adventure for kids...as long as they don't go trying to jump off cliffs in the dark. "

" Good children's fantasy series. Well written w/ spunky characters. "

" The 1st book was more intresting but it kept my attention the whole way. I havn't read the 3rd and I can't wait to get around to it. The second of trilogies are always hard though so I gave it a higher rating. To hold me to the series though the third one has to be better than this one. "

" This is a GREAT series for kids who like adventure/puzzle solving stories. My grandson and I are reading the series and then discussing it. "

" This is book one of four in this series...good action! Fun for upper elementary and middle school. "

" This is better than the first one.. but I thought the main characters (Jason, Julia and Rick) should be older, I don't think 11 years can do what they do (sorry kids..), Anyway can't wait to read the third book.. "

" This book was so good. I know that it was for little kids, but I really liked it a lot. The mystery (which we still aren't sure of at the end of this book) and adventure are interesting. It was a quick read (started it at breakfast and finished it by the time the kids went down for a nap). "

" Cool characters. I wouldn't mind a beach house like that one :) "

" Sejauh ini paling suka buku kedua ini dari empat buku yang sudah kubaca walaupun, sayangnya, Julia tidak ikut berpetualang mencari peta. Lebih suka kalau mereka bertiga berkumpul. Kecewa peta yang susah-susah didapat malah jatuh ke tangan Oblivia. "

" What I like most about this book is allt he information and pictures, it makes you feel like you were really in Egypt. "

" I do love this book! So spectacular, the story I never been predicted before, so many surprises in whole page, happy read! "

" Aku suka karakter Julia. Jason terlalu aneh. Rick terlalu lempeng. "

" Time Travel adventure suspense and 3 kids who cant seem to stop falling into a good story! "

" It's a really cute book about a set of twins and their friend uncovering the mysteries of Argo Manor (a huge mansion on the side of a cliff & the twins new home). The book goes straight into the second without a resolution. It's the first of 3 books. "

" Soren liked this one better then #1. "

" It's about these three children who is at Argo Manor and finding messages and cracking it. They find a door and contine their journey. "

" Another good "chosen kids" start out on a journey to fulfill their destinies novel. "

" I love this series of books =) Nice plot, travels to history.... Totally intriguing and interesting!! "

" In this book they are making there way through the magic tunnel and then suddenly something happens and Julia ends back in her house while the boys are stuck in egypt and they have to find the long lost map to get home. "

" This book was ok. I will read the next one to see what happens. "

" This is an awesome books, lot of riddle inside the story and so many curiousity when you open the enxt page, happy read! "

" Pintu di Kilmore Cove membawa Jason dan Rick ke Punt, kota di era Mesir kuno, sementara Julia harus berhadapan dengan petualangannya sendiri. Jelas petualangan mereka di sini lebih seru! Seandainya ada pintu waktu di rumahku *sigh* hehe "
