Elephant Adventure

Satisfied with purchase

Too many words required. Cant be bothered to review if i need to write a novel every time. Make this process easier

No problem thank you

The "Adventure" books got me into reading... 20+ years later and I still remember this series as the one my headmaster gave to me and hooked me on fiction. Theirs nothing really that special about the writing style, the plots aren't exactly original (young kids survive everything despite overwhelming odds) but the books are so addictive you can't put them down and I would thoroughly recommend these books to every parent to buy for their kids. Forget JK or Dahl, Pullman or Nix, Abercrombie or Paolini... Willard Price was writing his books almost 50 years before them all and they are still pure awesome.

As we return to Africa for this offering, the reader will be glued as the two lead characters seek to fulfil their fathers list for animals. There's a whole lot of things happening within the pages and of course you really can't help but get wrapped up in the adventure as they use ingenuity alongside bravery to achieve thier goals.As with Willard's other books, it wonderfully written with the country being the leading star which has taken many readers over the years on their own safari's within the imagination. Back that up with an obvious love for travel and seeing the unusual and all in it's a satisfying read. Magic.

I saw this site today with my name on it and so i rated the book again. I still love this book and all the other books in the series. I would reccomend it to adults and children alike. Be prepared for a great read,and lots of suspence, as i remember saying 4 years ago!!! it's great, read it, or you will never know.p.s dont judje a book by it's cover.

If you have any feeling for animals avoid this at all costs! Even the detail of the vegetation is inaccurate! Giant lobelia and groundsel and the huge moss yes - but giant pansies? I do not think so! The cruelty in the book is condemned but there is no mention in the forward that this was pre Cites although it does say that the racial attitudes are those of a previous age. Not something that I would want a 21st century child to read.

Mr Willard Price is an amazing author, this book is everything you need for an adventure experiance. However do not bee fooled by the Cover Art displayed, yes the publication date is corrrect ( to the series shown) but the one delivered was the far cheaper and 'older' appearing series. I was not impressed I am afraid.

Excellent
