Disturbing.,
By
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
Having read the first two Mushroom Planet books in third grade, I was very eager to read this final part of the adventures. I vaguely remember that the book dealt with the king of the Mushroom Planet coming to earth and finding descendants of the planet there, I also seem to recall that Mr. Bass is one, but I wouldn't swear to it. However, the chief thought that comes to my mind when I think of this book is how different it was from the former books of the series. The tone was utterly different-heavy and dark, and I remember that the ending was almost grotesque in its flavor. I wouldn't recommend this for young children - they'll probably find it very weird, but for fans of the series, you'll find a different, twisted look at the Mushroom Planet and its inhabitants.

Mushroom Planet meets King Arthur mythos,
By
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
This book was definitely different in tone from the rest of the series. The premise is that the inhabitants of the Mushroom Planet are related to today's Welsh, and the boys and Mr. Bass are caught up in a mystery involving the hidden grave of Arthur and Guinevere and the evil forces which caused his overthrow. The final scene in Wales is utterly chilling and still sends shivers down my spine. If you can accept the rather silly premise at face value, you have a dark and thrilling read ahead of you. Very enjoyable for those who like a little mystery to deepen their light fantasy reading.

Creeps me out 25 years later,
By Chris D'Amato (NYC area, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time and Mr. Bass: A Mushroom Planet Book (Hardcover)
I loved the Mushroom Planet books but my memories of this one are entirely different. I haven't read it since I was a kid but it has probably shaped my fascination for weird fiction, of stories about what might happen in parallel to the familiar world we know about. I remember being very frightened and horrified even -- I was a timid child! -- but there was also an undeniable attraction to the "dark side," which I found unexpectedly in the familiar characters.
