Summary: If you wany a good science fiction book do not read this boo
Review: I read this book and I found that, though the story idea was okay, the author used too much description and not enough action and wrecked what could have been an excellent book
Rating: 
Summary: Way Cool!!
Review: I think this book is even better than the first. I couldn't put it down. The tripod city is out of this world. I highly recomend this series.

Summary: good book
Review: I thought that A City of Gold and Lead was a good book! There is adventure and mystery. Each sentence leaves you hanging. And although I did not read the first book in this series I think that A City of Gold and Lead does a very nice overview of the first book. This book has also left me with the desire to read the other books in this series. All in all I think that it was well worth my time.

Summary: An imaginative rollercoaster,power packed with shocks.
Review: I thouraly enjoyed this book. It was very hard to put down. The book answered many of the questions left by the earlyer books in the series. Like who or what actauly controlls the tripods. Of course if you want to know what thoes answers are, you will have to read it for yourself.

Summary: Christopher delivers another suspenseful installment... read
Review: In the second installment, the battle to free mankind continues in an exciting new adventure. The heroes of the White Mountains return to uncover the true nature of the alien's that enslave mankind. Readers of the first installment will not be disappointed in this volume; as exciting and suspenseful as the first--if not more so!

Summary: really good!!!!!
Review: It was a very hard dessision, but, I think this is my favorit book out of the tripods trilligy. It is very good. I advise you to read the White Mountains and then get this book!! It is very exciting and gives a little bit of a suprising ending. But not as suprising as the beggining of the Pool of Fire. Read the serise. IT'S GOOD!!!!!

Summary: A good sequel to 'The White Mountains'
Review: John Christopher did a really great job with the sequel to 'The White Mountains'. In 'The City of Gold and Lead' the White Mountain's leader, Julius comes up with a plan to stop the Tripods. They will go to the 'Games" and compete, hopefully winning, and go to the City of the Tripods to study them. Will, Beanpole and a new character named Fritz are chosen to go and compete in the Games. Fritz and Will are winners and are carried in a Tripod to the City. The two boys are separated and become servants for different Masters. The Masters are what control the Tripods. During his time in the City, Will learns a lot- why the Tripods invaded Earth, why they capped people, what happened to Eloise, and where the Masters and the Tripods came from. This was a really good book to answer questions about 'The White Mountains'.

Summary: Christopher's masterwork
Review: John Christopher's "Tripods" trilogy is
simply the purest science fiction you can
get your hands on. Fremantle and the BBC
made a superior adaptation of it which
aired on public TV in the U.S. and then
vanished. (PAL format DVD only.) I've
read most everybody's sci-fi books, but I
can't honestly recommend another author any
higher. This book (part 2 of the trilogy)
really goes the distance.
