5.0 out of 5 stars
Splendid mix of Science and Fantasy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sir MacHinery (Hardcover)
The story is one that combines the Magical with that of the coming future of Robotics. The Robot in this case is mistaken as a Knight and persuaded to adventure in the Magical Realm. I first read the book in elementary school and have enjoyed it for years. It is a book you can read again and again.

Fantastic,
By J.F.Lin (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sir MacHinery (Hardcover)
This book was my first fantasy read to me by my dad in the early nineties. Without this I would not have been turned on to fantasy. Recently I reread this book and although it is not as sophisticated as I remember it was totally original and in an odd way wonderful in the sense of good triumphing over evil. The plot is simple and stereotypical, but classic. The idea of a robot, a wizard, and the modern man teaming together to fight demons just gives you a marvelous feeling of content, no matter how cheesey the dialogue. I would love to see this as a book once again in print or a movie, and if the rights are still around when I'm grown I would like to take on an adaptation myself. If you get the rare chance, definitely read this book.

Excellent adventure , magic and mystical story .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sir MacHinery (Hardcover)
I have searched for this book for years after loaning to a fellow teacher and never getting it back! I used to teach in a one-room school and my students there enjoyed the story much that they would act out scenes on the playground at recess. It is rare to have students' imaginations activated by a story but this one sure did it for my students. It's been at least tens years since the book was lost and I still mourn for it. Why on earth doesn't this publisher bring it back out into publication. I also feel it is truly a modern day classic that many kids and adults would treasure if only they had access to it. I have found one copy of it in my search over the years, but it was a copy at the Boise,ID public library, I hate to admit I entertained thoughts of checking it out and never returning it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
