Rendition In Favor Of Books Stoneheart (Stoneheart Trilogy #1)

A city has many lives and layers. London has more than most. Not all the layers are underground, and not all the lives belong to the living.
Twelve-year-old George Chapman is about to find this out the hard way. When, in a tiny act of rebellion, George breaks the head from a stone dragon outside the Natural History Museum, he awakes an ancient power. This power has been dormant for centuries but the results are instant and terrifying: A stone Pterodactyl unpeels from the wall and starts chasing George. He runs for his life but it seems that no one can see what he's running from. No one, except Edie, who is also trapped in this strange world.
And this is just the beginning as the statues of London awake...
This is a story of statues coming to life; of a struggle between those with souls and those without; of how one boy who has been emotionally abandoned manages to find hope.

Evaluate Containing Books Stoneheart (Stoneheart Trilogy #1)

Personal Response:This book is a well written book, but it is slightly confusing. I had issues with some parts, and in some places I think it is too detailed. It seems to just run on, but it also a good read. I pushed through the confusing parts and tried to make sense of them, and it worked itself out in the end.Plot:George breaks a stone dragon head off a wall in anger, and causes the statues in London to come to life unseen by others. He runs into the Gunner, who is a statue who helps him

3 1/2 stars.My son said this was a good read, so I gave it a chance.While I was a little confused about how the "layers" of London interacted and effected each other, the seeming and slight inconsistencies weren't enough to stop me.It's a fun, fleshed-out world that Flethcer has created, and while the ending left me feeling a little flat, (Really, after all that, that's how it ends!?) I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

from the first line I had very high expectations for this book. I was very excited to read the story, and really interested in how the author would deal with a character who seemed determined to keep the world at a distance. As I read, I waited patiently for some depth, some mystery that would finally grab my interest. Unfortunately, I found the book flat- not bad, or unbelievable or poorly written- but just ordinary. There was nothing unique about it, nothing that kept me anxiously turning

I enjoyed this! It's definitely on the younger side of YA, but I think that just helps us focus on the character development and adventure!

I love the idea of the statues of London coming to "life" and enjoyed the transformation of George.The characters, human and otherwise are compelling, and you don't get hard and fast answers about whose side some of these characters are on. This book can be dark and suspenseful... not recommended for children who are prone to nightmares (One of the bad guys enjoys eating children, to give one example).Ironhand, here I come!!!

Last year I included the Harry Potter books in my audio book list. When I mentioned this to my sister she said her kids had listened to them so often that they think of the narrator Jim Dale as a good friend. I think I know how my nieces and nephews feel. While it took a while for this book to pull me in, it was a pleasure to have Mr Dales voice take me on the journey. Ill be back for the next volume.

I picked up this book a couple of years ago and for some reason never got past the first few chapters. I don't remember it being bad, just not particularly sweeping me away. I gave the book to my son (who was twelvish at the time) thinking he'd enjoy it. He did, as well as the two books following. Recently, he decided to clear off his bookshelves and I decided to hold onto the series and give it another try. SO GLAD I DID.I absolutely loved this book this time around. Loved the main character,
