Summary: Short, but still Good.
Review: "Clockwork" by Phillip Pullman is definitely one of the shortest books I've read in a long time. A determined reader could finish the book in an hour. However, such small size does not make this a bad book. Indeed, the plot is thick, intricate, but not confusing. The story is chillingly entertaining for readers of all ages. The art is creative and an excellent accompaniment to the book. In the end, I'd recommend this to almost everyone who asks.

Summary: A delightfully chilling story... Clockwork
Review: A reader cannot expect more in a big-lettered, 107 page book, for Philip Pullman is a literal master at delivering a beautifully crafted story. A dark and enchanted story sewn by a man derranged of trying to do his best... A greedy man who wants his new "toy" to earn him wealth and power... a young, sweet girl determined to save good... an unforgettable cast of characters and an unforgettable story in one. CLOCKWORK , although far different then Pullman's enchanting HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy, is a creepy and very absorbing read which I could not put down until I finished the last page, an emotionally heartbreaking ending which is one that will undoubtedly touch the reader's heart and beg for a sequel to this spooky, masterpiece of a story.

Summary: A pleasant Read
Review: Another pleasant read from Pullman. This author knows that not every book can be ambitious and deep, and he churns out these little vignettes alongside his more complex and filling books. The book takes place in a setting similar to medieval Germany, and is about a prince with a dead heir, and a clockmaker's apprentice. The plot is thrilling, tight and is vintage Pullman. The book doesn't take long to read, only about an hour, and its worth the time. Some kids gave this book a bad review 'because it was creepy'(!) but if you like slightly spooky 'fairy' tale-type books this one is a must read. Great for a rainy evening or a cold night.

Summary: For children and us older kids alike
Review: As you would expect from Philip Pullman, 'Clockwork' is a skillfully written book with more depth than might be apparent to the younger reader. The events and characters fit together as neatly as the teeth of the clockwork Pullman describes, and the illustrations and textual 'asides' are delightful, offering complementary and contrasting views of the action as it progresses. It is a book which has an enormous amount to offer readers of all ages and is gripping enough to keep you turning those pages. A post-modern version of Grimms Fairy Tales, 'Clockwork' has a certain gothic horror element to it, whilst retaining an underlying 'adult amusement' value. Pullman effectively combines the two, eliciting fear one moment and laughter the next. All the characters are well crafted but Dr Kalmenius is clearly the best, scoring 10 out of 10 on the villainy scale. CLOCKWORK: OR ALL WOUND UP is an example of 'children's' fiction at its very best.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: At first it is deceptively simple, but at later reads, all of the events in the book fit together closely, like clockwork. This book contains deep issues of life, death, and moral weaknesses. It should NOT be just for children. I'm a teenager, and I loved it! A must-read!

Summary: Splendid!
Review: Clockwork by Philip is a truly fascinating tale. When I read it, I immediately thought of the tales by E.T.A. Hoffman and Edgar Allen Poe. This story begins in a German tavern. A young novelist begins a story which ends in reality. The story surrounds a young clockmaker who makes a Faustian pact and who is destroyed. The story also contains an extreme act of love from an innocent character. This is a marvelous short read. It takes less than an hour to read. Children and anyone who enjoys the tales of Hoffman and Poe would enjoy this story.

Summary: Clockwork is a grand book for children
Review: Clockwork is a book by Philip Pullman. It tells a wonderful story about a clockmaker who needs to make a clock figure. This clockmaker tells good ghost stories also. The Karl tells a story about the Devil who helps a king. As a matter of fact, the story that he tells did happen. In fact, the story is true. Now, the Devil can make people out of clockwork. The Devil (who acts like a human) makes a Knight for Karl (the clockmaker). Now no more said here. SO GO READ THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part is when Karl tells the story about the Devil making a child out of clockwork. I recommend this book to anybody any above 4th grade.

Summary: Clockwork is A Must Read
Review: Clockwork is a perfect example of how fictional stories should be written. The way the paths of little Gretl and Prince Florian collide is so perfect, only Final Fantasy could surpass such doing. This book is recomended fore anyone who has a vivid imagination or a light hearted mind. When you read this book, you'll know what I mean.

Summary: clockwork
Review: Clockwork is about a man named Fretiz who tells a story about a mechanical boy who had a heart transplant from his father. The characters from Fretiz's story come to life one by one. First, it was the evil doctor who created Prince Florian. Later Florian himself came to the real world. When Florian came he was sick, but after being under the care of a girl named Gretl his mechanical body turned to flesh and he became a real boy. After the night with Gretl in the church steeple everyone said, "Look it's a living talking statue up in the steeple," while pointing at Florian . This book is great for young readers and good for the imagination. Pullman is the author of the Golden Compass and has won many awards. This book is scary and surprising, and it has a classical ending.
