5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!, July 30, 1998

I read this book about eight years ago and I still remember it to this day. I love this book and even though I'm a bit more "grown-up" than I was when I first read it, it is still as fascinating today as it was then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting children's tale, August 20, 2005

This review is from: The Snow Spider (Paperback)

I first read this at some young age long enough ago that I can't remember exactly when, but I remember very well the sense of awe and enchantment of the story. Even now, many many years later, I can pick it up and be just as engrossed even though it's such a short read. Highly recommended for all ages, if you enjoy a magical tale that somehow seems real, along with the very real story of a young boy's emergence into adulthood.
