5.0 out of 5 stars This review has been a long time coming..., February 21, 2004

By	Laura E. Rollins "thetolkienlover" (Wildwood, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Only true bibliophiles will understand when I ask: Do you remember those books that touched you when you were young? Those that simply spurred you to read further and become a genuine book lover? The Haunted Mountain was mine. It was a book that I read and promptly lost, and couldn't for the life of me remember the author's name or the title! It was a labor of love trying to discover this book for the second time! After countless internet searches I have finally found it! Mollie Hunter is amazing! This novel captures the imagination, the spirit of the Celts, their traditions and superstitions, and a land that thrived before the harshness of modernity drove out the sidhe and put an end to the Goodman's Croft. MacAllister is a wonderfully wrought protagonist, and his struggle with the fairies is vivid, full of adventure. There are elements of magic, love, lore, and sacrifice woven expertly throughout Hunter's novel. This book is an absolute jewel!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is so cool!, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Haunted Mountain (Hardcover)

The Haunted Mountain is the book I read. This book is about a man named MacAllister who owns many acres that the "Sid he" kept ruining. MacAllister marries a women named Peggy Anna and has a child name Fergus. Something really bad happens to MacAllister and someone has to save him! Read this book to find out what will happen. I thought this was a very good book. I would highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A must read for fourth or fifth graders, but not for 6th., October 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Haunted Mountain (Hardcover)

The Haunted Mountain is a half-good, half-bad book. Mollie Hunter mixes ideas of Celtic mythology with children's dreams. This fantasy takes place in a small town in the north of Scotland during the Celtic times. This story is filled with mythological characters from fairies to urisks, which are half man half goat. This fantasy is about a stubborn farmer named Mc Allister. He promises himself that he will never give the fairies his traditional piece of land. Throughout the story the fairies have tried several attempts to kill him. They finally capture him and make him their slave. It is up to his brave son Fergus to save him. I was quite disappointed in this book because the reading level was quite low. The characters were unrealistic and it was more a fantasy book than a horror story. Personally I prefer horror stories to fantasies. If you like fantasies, castles, and romance, this is and ideal book. If you're more like me and love horror stories, I don't suggest this book.
