I borrowed this book from my school library when I was bored.
I was engrossed in its pages within minutes. It has plenty of imagination and blends together a range of things from the sci-fi/fantasy genres. This book would make an excellent movie.
It is part of "The Doorways Trilogy", which is comprised of this novel, "The Book of Plans" and "The Unmaker", respectively.

The House of Many Rooms begins with Saul, a normal Australian teenager, whose life is suddenly changed when the Princess and her band of followers appear in his backyard, followed closely by dangerous creatures.

So begins Saul's adventure, as he joins the Princess' followers and travels to different worlds, trying to save the mysterious House of Many Rooms from the Princess' evil cousin Stefan, who has usurped the throne.

The entire time I was reading this book I could not put it down, I carried it in my bag all day, waiting for the odd moment when I'd have time to read a few more pages. The characters were memorable and amusing and both The House of Many Rooms and the other two books in the trilogy have become some of my favourites.

I absolutely love this book. Saul, a sixteen year old boy, is living an ordinary, boring life until one night when the Followers, led by a Princess, come through a portal into Saul's shed. They are on the run from evil "warriors" led by Stefan, whose heart is set on destroying the House Of Many Rooms. Saul has to go with the Followers on their journeys until Stefan is defeated before he can go back home.

This books is great for people from ages 11-15.

Saul, a Australian teenager, thinks he is quite normal until a strange band of people -who look like people from Robin Hood's time- turn up. Leading is a girl who is actually a princess. Following them is a bunch of even weirder attackers sent by the Princess's evil counsin, Stephan. The band calls themselves the Followers.

The Followers take Saul with them to save his life, as he has been branded as one of the Followers by these attackers.

The Followers and their journeys between worlds helps Saul find himself, in more ways than one.

A excellent book, I highly recommend it.
