The Magic Bicycle

Summary: Excellent reading for all ages!
Review: I previewed this book before sending it to several younger relatives for Christmas. The author may have been targeting the "young adult" but I found plenty in it for us "older adults", too! The book was every bit as enjoyable as William Hill's earlier books and I look forward to more fun reading from this outstanding young author!

Summary: Adventurous, fun, leaves you thinking
Review: I read TMB in a very short time. Not because I am a fast reader, but because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next! This book is always entertaining and thought provoking, you deffinately get a different perspective on cats. The book is unpredicable enough to keep you off guard, but writen cleverly enough to always keep you involved. I am 37 years old, and all I can say is that if this is a childrens book, pass me the Ovaltine!

Summary: I really recommend reading this book!
Review: I really liked THE MAGIC BICYCLE! Danny is a great character with believeable feelings and actions. I felt like I was there with him as he won the bike race, as he got chased down to the haunted house and as he soared through the air. I loved Murg, and how she talked with Danny when riding the bike with him. I especially like the alien, Kah-laye-dee, with his blue hair and ability to change forms. I really recommend reading this book!

Summary: The Magic Bicycle is a five star book!
Review: I recommend this book to people who like adventure and travel. I loved the book because it is exciting. My favorite character is Murg the Calico Cat. I liked her because she sometimes can be wiser than humans. I think this is a book that would especially be enjoyed if the reader is age 7 to 14. Younger children would enjoy having their parents read it to them. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down until I had read the entire book. William Hill is a very good writer. I can't wait to hear about what happens to these characters in The Magic Bicycle II!

Summary: The Power of the Freedom of Imagination Running Wild
Review: Incredibly imaginative. I was struck how so many ages could appreciate this piece of creative genius. I am 40 and I liked it. A 14 year old would love it. I think my grandfather would have appreciated it in that it seems to evoke nostalgic memories from youth about overcoming problems and turning your dreams and desires into reality.. 2 big thumbs up!!!!!!!

Summary: A guide to life
Review: TMB is one of the greatest books I've ever read, along with Chasing Time. It holds marvelous truths about our own lives, and inspires one's imagination. Anyone can - and should - read it. It's a wonderful book that allows you to get out of your world for a couple of hours, and return to it wiser. Both children and grown-ups are invited to ride with Danny and Murg on the Magical Bicycle to amazing new places, across time. An unforgettable experience.

Summary: It was an excellent read. I love this book!
Review: TMB was an excellent read. I could really relate to Danny. He's a colorful mixture of everybody I've ever known. His meeting with Kah-laye-dee, an alien visitor hiding in a haunted mansion, was so enjoyable I read it twice. And the complexity of changing time was incredibly clever. I loved it!
