Summary: Nevermind the Potter...
Review: ...here comes Johnny Dixon. Although I can't help but notice the new cover depicts him as sort of a blonde version of Harry. I always liked the old Edward Gorey cover better. At any rate, 11 years after I read them (I'm now 24) Bellairs' first few books for children are priceless: scary, funny, and filled with lovely little historical details. Eventually, Bellairs' books became too formulaic, but I liked BLUE FIGURINE, as well as the follow-ups: THE MUMMY THE WILL, AND THE CRYPT, SPELL OF THE SORCERER'S SKULL, REVENGE OF THE WIZARD'S GHOST, and THE TROLLEY TO YESTERDAY. Great for kids too young for Stephen King.

Summary: The Curse of the Blue Figurine
Review: As an adult and an avid reader of children's literature, I can heartily recommend this book to adults and children alike. It is a wonderful blend of fantasy and mystery that will not only make you laugh, but make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end! Even adults can find a great deal of pleasure reading Mr. Bellairs. I'm a huge fan of J.K. Rowling and this book...in fact all of John Bellairs books...come quite close to attaining the level of entertaiment reached by the Harry Potter series. So, if you have already finished Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (I have and it's fantastic) and you haven't a clue as to what you will read to tide you over until Ms. Rowling publishes book number 5, read The Curse of the Blue Figurine...and all of the other wonderful books by John Bellairs. You won't be disappointed, whether you are 9 or 90.

Summary: Complete Thiller
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. It all started when my school had a Scholastic Book fair, and then on the day I forgot to bring my money! So my friend bought the book for me since it was on a huge sale ($2.00!) and I decided to read it. At first I chose this book only because it was cheap, and I thought it would be BORING! But I was SO wrong! This book has a superior plot, a great story outline, and mostly, it is thrilling! It is about 12-year-old Johny Dixon after hearing a tale of Father Baart decided to find out if it was true. Then a mystery starts to happen where a stranger gives him a ring, but a was truly Father Baart. At the end the story ends happily, and I read it over and over again like 3 times already! My brother is reading it now, and he says so far so good. I am currently buying book by John Bellairs. Thanks for writing such a interesting book that I can't put down!

Summary: One of the best EVER
Review: I first read this book over 10 years ago (Closer to 15) and even back then it has made a lasting impression on my. This is a book that I hope that my daughter will read when she is old enough. I recommend it to any adult or young-adult that is interested in the supernatural.

Summary: Curse of the Blue Figurine
Review: It was a good book to read until about page 70. The main character, John, holds up the Blue Figurine and shouts out something like, "I hope he breaks his goddam neck!" He was angry at a boy in his school, a bully, so he screams this out in a curse. I thought it was inappropriate for a young children's book.

Review: John Bellairs was one of my favorite writers when I was in Elementary School. He wrote interesting, scary mysteries that any kid would enjoy. I only wish that he wrote adult thrillers!
His stories are so good, I think that even adults would enjoy them. If you're looking for a good author for your child, get his stories!!

Summary: If you like magical and scary books you should read this !
Review: The Curse of the Blue Figurine is a super
duper book. I loved this book because it's about
magic happenings. In this story Johnny finds a
mystical statue and a letter from Father Baart.
Weird things start to happen to the young innocent
boy. Johnny thinks it's just a legend, but is it?
If you really want to find out, READ this book and
I am sure you won't regret it.

Summary: Must Read
Review: The title of this book is The Curse of the Blue Figurine written by John Bellairs. This an awesome book. This story takes place in the past. The main character's name is Jim. Jim is kind of nerdy. The problem in this story is that he finds this blur figurine that is cursed. That is about my book.
This book is a must read! This is Horrifying, Cool, and is something some people can relate to. It has Lusafur in it, has awesome details like: how they described the whole story line, especially how they described how Santin was vanished back to Hell where it came from, and some people like Gothic people would like this book. All theses factors are the reasons why the story is interesting.
This paragraph is about John Bellairs the author. John is a Gothic Mystery novel writer, he wrote 15 books and went to the University of Chicago.
