Book of Time

review 1: The second book of time is even better than the first.First Sam goes on some adventure on his own, but then accidentally brings his cousin along, which I think is an absolute mistake because then Sam would have no one to bring him back home. There are a lot of interesting parts. For example, the time he met his own grandfather at the age of six. Meeting your own grandfather at the age of six must be fascinating! Also the readers got to meet Allan, Sam's dad, for the first time. Allan seemed to be totally crazy, which is not the best first impression. Allan was a total freak for something very precious. The end of the story leaves you wanting so much more. A new mystery is left in your brain until you read the final book.
review 2: The Gate of Days is another ti... moreme traveling adventure full of stories of Sam visiting various places in search of his father. In many ways, this book is an extension of the the first one - it picks up right where the other left off. Again, the history involved seems genuine and well researched.I enjoyed Sam and Lily's (Sam's cousin) characters and liked how they evolved in this book. They both grew and used their brains to figure out the puzzle.Sam's aunt and her boyfriend are a bit over the top, though I have a feeling that his aunt's nervous disposition may have some purpose in the last book (this is just a guess).The book begins great and pulls us right in, not only with a burglary, but with the mystery of who the burglar is. Prevost adds more depth to the story with the addition of the burglar and his tattoo of the horns with the circle in it, and how this theme is carried out through the book.And then there is the great cliff hanger ending - I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in order to see how this series ends. I can really see middle school and early teens liking this book, especially ones who like history and adventure stories. I can also see the book appealing to both boys and girls. less
