Wat ik een plus- en minpunt vind, zijn de vele tekeningen in het boek. De tekeningen zijn erg mooi, maar je verbeeldingsvermogen wordt er al veel minder op. Uiteindelijk was ik redelijk lui om bepaalde wezens in mijn hoofd te bedenken, aangezien er toch genoeg tekeningen van ze zijn. Voor beginnende lezers is dit geweldig, maar ik vond de fantasie die je voor dit boek moet gebruiken erg laag, terwijl er juist veel fantasie bij te pas hoort te komen! Mooie tekeningen dus, alleen is het wel een afbreuk voor je leesplezier. The books wallow in their dusty Olde Worlde charm: Faeries! Dumbwaiters! Attics! But then, reading has an old-fashioned charm too." I like the books too. I think they do a great job of blending traditional folklore and the modern world. What's more, they borrow from the traditional lore, and expand on it in interesting ways. Plezant kinderboek dat echte monsters niet uit de weg gaat: ik vond dit, ook al is het dus echt wel geschreven voor een jong publiek, echt goed meevallen. The film was nominated by the Visual Effects Society in the category of "Outstanding Animated Character in a Live Action Feature Motion Picture" but it lost to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, another film from Paramount Pictures.

It's a fun little mystery book with cool fantasy elements and it does a good job setting up the characters and premise at an incredibly fast speed without feeling rushed. The ending shows a lot of promise for the future of the series. My only complaint is that it ended way too soon. Just when it was about to get into the meat and bones of the fantasy side of things, it abruptly cuts off. I enjoyed what little I was given though and I plan on reading the rest of the series. Volver a estos libros después de años me trae un sin fin de recuerdos de aquella primera vez que lo leí. En esta ocasión, vuelvo a ellos con más experiencia lectora y tal vez hasta más exigencia de mi parte. With a plot full of twists and turns and wonderful illustrations, this is a book that will hook any reader or listener to a bizarre world that exists within our world, a remarkable creation of the authors’ imagination.”Ron Perlman as Redcap, Mulgarath's aggressive and loyal general of his goblin army – his role is uncredited.

Ty Burr (February 14, 2008). "A creepy-crawly and digitized faerie tale". The Boston Globe . Retrieved March 5, 2008. The most special effect is probably Highmore, who gets to sharpen up his American accent and who makes each twin, bookish Simon and bad-boy Jared, a functioning individual. With their evocative gothic-style pencil drawings and color illustrations, rhyming riddles, supernatural lore and well-drawn characters, these books read like old-fashioned ripping yarns." I think the time has come these days that you might as well edit books as you read them. There are things I might as well do with technology so a book will be how I wanted it the next time I read it. We're excited to share these books with our six and seven year old niece and nephew, who we think will really enjoy the story and humor.Wat opvalt is dat het puur qua lengte, taal (en grootte van de letters) duidelijk afgestemd is op een jonger publiek. Al vliegend door de pagina's vraag je je af hoe de auteur hier in godsnaam vijf boeken met elk hun eigen verhaal uit kan krijgen.
