5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I read in a long time!, January 9, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The House of Windjammer (Hardcover)

This book is absolutely fantastic! Its the story of a young boy whose father dies and he then has the responsibiliy to run the family business. He then becomes involved in lots of adventures and meets many interesting characters. It takes place in Amsterdam in the 1600's, a place and time that I didn't know anything about, but the author makes you feel like you're right there. I am sure there will be a sequel to this book and I can't wait!

I recommend this book highly

5.0 out of 5 stars very surprising, November 22, 2003

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The House of Windjammer (Hardcover)

full of twists, suspense, and quite some action, this book will keep you guessing til the end. though the ending was a bit of a dissapointment, i can smell a sequel that u'll most likely be eager to read. and even if u didnt like how it all turned out, u have to appreciate the hidden meaning that set it apart from most predictable books

In 1636 Europe faces a world fascination with tulips while the Windhammer family faces ruin and the loss of its entire trading fleet. It's up to young Adam, heir to the house, to save his family's fortune from the evil banker Van Halsen and a corrupt uncle. Obsession and business challenges make a dangerous pair in this compelling story of a young heir's determination to save his family fortune.

I did enjoy this book, but it was nothing special. I liked the main character, Adam's, determination and strong character. I, also, liked the twists and turns. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Three and a half stars
I found this book more on the average side of things. Although written well, the middle of the book is slow and the climax doesnt really happen until the last 30 pages. Read more
