The White Mountains

Summary: This is a very good book!
Review: I had to find a book at our school library for a readingassignment. I hate doing this, because I never find anythinggood. While I was looking for a book, I pulled out "The White Mountains". I looked at the cover and thought it was a cheap rip-off of "War of the Worlds"... But you can't tell a book by its cover! Time ran out, so I picked up that book, and we checked out our books and started to read. I was hooked! I got in trouble several times for reading in class. I kept reading and reading, and when I finally finished, I almost cried! But the next day I went to school I found out it was the first book of a series. I got the next one, "The City of Gold and Lead" and I'm still hooked! Now I've started the 3rd book, "The Pool of Fire." I love it too. I'm not totally sure why I like it... It's just... GOOD! Buy the series! You will love it! I'd give it 6 stars, and I recommend it to all ages.

Summary: Definately a great choice!!! Ü
Review: Usually the books that we are assigned to read are so-so, because we are required to read them even if we don't like the genre and then we have to do projects on them. When we got "The White Mountains," I thought, oh no, another boring book. But when I started reading it, I got hooked. I loved it. I read the whole thing the first week, and as soon as I could, went to the school library and checked out the second book, The Pool of Fire (which I also loved) and the third book, The City of Gold and Lead (which was equally as enthralling). I would say that these are must-reads for any lover of sci-fi books. Just give them a try, even if at first they don't look too good. Enjoy!

Summary: Good book, and definitely worth taking the time to read...
Review: I got hooked on this series in 6th grade (an entire 5 years ago, incredible...), and, as my school library had all of them, finished the entire series, all four books. They carry a feeling of a very common theme among Sci-fi writers, of the entire world against a small resisitance force, and its very obvious that Mr. Christopher got his ideas for the basics of the Masters species from War of the Worlds, but beyond this, he really pulls the book together and makes a very intriguing plot. For sure a great story and worth giving a try.

Summary: This was a cool book
Review: This book is really cool. It mixes sience fiction with action and suspense. Be sure to read the other books in the series including "When the tripods came" because it came out later then all the others but is a prequel to this book

Summary: Once you start reading it you won't be able to put it away.
Review: John Cristopher is one of the best writers. His book keeps you wanting to keep you on the edge of your seat with non-stop action and adventure. He actually makes you feel that the characters in the book come alive. He uses great imagination to make this whole book to come to life. I recommend this book to adults and children of all ages. 10 STARS!!!!

Summary: I rate this book a 10!
Review: I read The White Mountains and it was a really good book. The White Mountains is about a village in the future. These things called tripods use a cap to control people, but the people think it is a good thing. However, a kid meets this guy who tells him the truth about the caps and the only place safe from the tripods. The guy hands the kid a map to the White Mountains. Read this book to find out if he accepts the map. The author used a little bit of simile, foreshadowing, metaphor, and more. I rate this book a ten.

Summary: You wont want to put it down until you are through with it.
Review: I read the science-fiction book called "The White Mountains." "The White Mountains" is about tripods that take over the world. They roam on all the continents and hunt humans for fun. In one little village where tripods come every now and then when the kids get to a certain age, there lives a boy who looks up to being capped but then he hears that if you get capped you are controlled by the tripods. The boy thinks that all the world is being roamed by the tripods but one day he finds out about one place where men are free and fighting the tripods. He takes an incredible journey along with two other boys to escape from the control of the tripods. I loved this book because the author put a lot of excitement in it and I like science-fiction books. I rate this book a 10 because you wont want to put it down until you are through with it.

Summary: A good fiction that is worth to think
Review: The book depicts a future world that is backward. At first you will think it is a story happened in the ancient world, like reading history, but later you will find out the modern "ruin" hidden in the world just like the ancient ruins do in our world. This is very interesting background. Also, the idea of capturing one's mind when the human is growing up is worth to think. Actually the matter of capping do happen in our world. We all are under the value system of our different cultures, and of our different living background. Is it what John wants to tell us? However, besides such philosophic part of the story, it is a very interesting scientific fiction that is suitable for not only juvenile but to adult also. I bought this book when I was very young, but just finished it when I grew up. And I was so sad that I thought I could not find out the other two books of the same series. Thanks to Amazon, that I found the books here, and today, I got the books eventually, and I can start continuing the story of the White Mountains.

Summary: A great and exellent review
Review: The White Mountains is a great and exellent science fiction book. The White Mountains is mostly about how Henry, Beanpole and Will travled to the White Mountains. So, one of my favorite parts is when Beanpole carved out that tracer thing under Wills arm and I think one of the most exiting part is more tords the end of the book were Will, Henry and Beanpole just destroyed a tripod and so they had too wate about a week till they could get out of there hide-out because there were about 20-45 tripods all around trying to find them. I'm ten years old and loved all these books. So if you have a son thats 9-12 years old I think you should really consider bying this for him/her.

Summary: Up there with the Hobbit, It is THAT good. Read it NOW!!
Review: At first, It was a book we were reading in class. I am the person that always reads 4 or 5 chapters ahead. I started reading, I first, I was confused, then I was curious, then it was exciting, then it was confusing, then it went back to beung exciting. Basically, A book that the class read in about 3-4 months, I read in one weekend. I was glad that I had found such a good book, but sad that it was already over... but, when I looked at the cover, I saw the "part of the tripod trillogy" , then almost instentaniously picked up "The city of gold and lead" , which I have had for 3 days and am on page 187. Bottom line, go to the library and borrow it, or buy it. It's worth it.
