Summary: Kind of Creepy but Still Excellent
Review: I highly recommend this book to you. IF you are sitting there wondering whether to get it or not I am telling you now to buy it and read it because it is right up there on my top ten! Let me warn you though, it may get kind of creepy and scary, and deep but there are other parts that more than make up for it, for example I fell in love with Arm even though I have no idea what he looks like! So read it. Now.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!
Review: This is a very good book! Everyone should read it! Tendai is the funniest and smartest character of them all because he found a way out of Dead Man's Vlei. Kuda is the only one that could understand Trashman and Trashman was the only one who they knew that they could trust. Rita wasn't that funny because she was always serious about things and she never wanted to do things. This is a very adventerous, spine-tingling, hanging-off-the-edge-of-your-seat book, like when Rita, Tendai, and Kuda were captured by the She Elephant again and she gave them to The Masks and Tendai was about to be sacraficed by The Masks to their gods. The Ear, the Eye and the Arm were the detectives in this book and they found the children at the Mile-High MacIlwaine Hotel. This book was the second-best I have ever read, second only to HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN. This book had lots of parts that were very exciting, with out-of-this world vocabualry and well-detailed settings. For anyone who likes whimsical, fast-paced and funny sci-fi/fantasy books, this is the one for you!

Review: I think this book is a very thrilling science fiction story. It is about three kids:Tendai, Kuda,and Rita. They go off into the city and are kidnapped by bad guys. Their parents find out and call the Ear, the Eye, and the Arm. The dectectives always seem to get so close to the kids but can't get them. This is one of the best books I have ever read! I suggest you go out and read this book if you want a exellent book!

Summary: Outstandingly good! Funny, insightful, and very different.
Review: Tendai is an intelligent and sensitive teenage boy with all the problems that come with over-achieving and over-protective parents. His father, General Matsika of Zimbabwe's army, is admirable but forbidding, his mother, a celebrated chemist, is wonderful but much too busy. So Tendai and his younger brother and sister live a regimented life within the walls of their huge, beautiful, and much too controlled home estate. In the believable and not-too-distant possible future world in which this book is set, they are cared for and brought up by servants - both live and automated. When they finally manage to leave the estate on their first adventure, they are unprepared for the complexity of the outside world. When they are kidnapped, the children find themselves dealing with the real world without the protection of their parents. Adventure, so tantalizing from a distance, turns out to be a good deal more uncomfortable in real life! The children all begin to grow up at a much faster rate. The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm are private detectives with unusual weapons; they are mutants with magnified senses. A charming group of misfits, with their hearts in the right place, they are hired by the children's distraught mother, and embark on a series of hilarious adventures to restore the children home. This book is beautifully written! It is funny and touching, and presents a coming of age adventure in a way that will bring every reader along. Beyond this, it justaposes a very believable near future with ancient legend, and will provoke some deep thought about the modern way of life versus the old ways in any sensitive reader. Though its characters are children, and the audience for which it is intended is most probably intelligent adolescents, this book will hold most adult readers as well.

Summary: Tottally boring
Review: I have to read this book for reading at school. I find "The Ear, the Eye and the Arm" tottally uninteresting and boring. The plot is entirely over used and it seems like the author is trying to give a history & social studies lesson, more than trying to entertain. I have given it 2 stars, only because it has it's vaguely amusing parts. I am not saying that you shouldn't read this book, for I see others enjoy it well, I'm just saying it's just...boring to me.
Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: I thought this was a very good book. It had no boring parts. Somthing new was always happening. It never ran on. I suggest this book to people who like scince fiction adventures.
