Summary: A Stellar Example of Children's Literature...
Review: And lots of fun for the adult who refuses to grow up. Garth Nix has created a surprising world of fascinating characters and ideas. The plot moves right along and the young hero is likeable and delightfully normal. The book only occasionally does more telling than showing (mostly related to character emotions) but you'll hardly notice. It's one of the most inventive, Wonderland-adventures I've read in a long time. Counting the days until Grim Tuesday is released...

Summary: ILTB (I Love This Book)
Review: I liked this book because it had a lot of action and although the hero had asthma he kept on going. I also liked the strange, deformed "people" and the wooden robot-creatures that wielded axes and drills. This book was really, really good and I would recommend that alot of people buy it.

Summary: PLEASE, SIR, COULD I HAVE SOME MORE?
Review: Mister Monday is one of the best books I have read in a long time. You immediately connect with Arthur-- he has his weaknesses (asthma and being too curious for his own good) and he has his strengths (his sense of duty, compassion, and courage). This book is jam-packed with many fantastical inventions that is purely Nix at his best. Dog-faced men, the Will, the Nightsweeper, and thousands more. I repeat: this is an extremely compelling read and you'll be hard-fixed to find anything as wonderfully written as this. Thank you and good night!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: The Keys to the Kingdom is an excellent new series by Garth Nix - a series I cannot wait for the sequel too! To get the concept of the book, you kind of have to read it, really. When Arthur is suffering from a asthma attack, two men appear to him, and one gives him a key shaped like the minute hand of an old clock. After that day, he starts seeing a large house. He is followed by creatures called Fetchers. Also, a book appears to him that is very useful. When a disease breaks out, he finds that it is spread by the Fetchers. Arthur sets off into the house to find a way to save his world.

Summary: Wonderful Fantasy for Young Readers
Review: MISTER MONDAY is the first in a new series by Garth Nix, author of THE SEVENTH TOWER. Well paces and written for it's intended audience, younger readers, it weaves a spell binding story of reluctant heroes and less than evil villains. The young protagonist; Arthur Penhaligon, is chosen by the Will (the last instructions from the Great Architect, read God, before she takes off to places unknown,) to be the heir of the Keys to the Kingdom, to be the master of the House and the known universe. Problem is he's in the seventh grade and doesn't want to rule the world, all he wants to do is save his family and friends from a plague let lose by the same forces who don't want him to succeed, principally Mr. Monday, one of the seven trusties entrusted with the Will while GA is off gallivanting about.Although a lot of the characters, ok most of the characters, are rather bizarre the one that stands out in this sea of strangeness is Arthur. Throughout the story Arthur, even though given one of the keys to the universe, remains little more than a boy, a seventh grade boy. No superhero, no genius, just a boy who's forced to do something he really doesn't want to do. Written slightly below the level of the Harry Potter books this series should still capture the attention and imagination of young readers attracted to these types of stories. I found it to be a fun and enchanting read, maybe a little tame, but then I'm somewhat older than the target audience. I would certainly RECOMMEND this book to all the young readers out there, and even a few of the older ones.

Summary: A Monday Arthur will never forget
Review: Mister Monday is the first in a seven book series. Written for young adults this is a book that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves a good fantasy story. Arthur Penhaligon is about to die - only to be saved by the unlikely duo of Mr Monday and his butler Sneezer. An action they both will soon regret as Arthur finds the key they have given him leads to an otherworldly house that is both the source of a plague in his town and the only place he can find a cure. This is an original book, well written with interesting characters. Recommended for all ages. I'm already looking forward to GRIM TUESDAY and I'm happy the good news I heard on the grapevine turned out to be true about MISTER MONDAY.

Summary: GARTH NIX HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
Review: While Garth Nix's fictional characters often have magical powers he, too, has a power - the power to create fantasy tales that have earned him a host of young fans. And, screen actor Allan Corduner has the power to imbue his reading of the latest by this talented author with the requisite amounts of menace and suspense. Young Arthur Penhaligon is an asthmatic. His future doesn't appear bright; it becomes even darker when he has an otherworldly encounter with a strange man who leaves him with a key shaped like a clock's minute hand. What could be more innocuous than a small key? But, wait, the key seems to have a terrifying effect on the world as it brings with it a plague. Soon Arthur is besieged by a Mister Monday and a band of vengeance seekers with blood-stained wings. As if that were not enough, dog-faced Fetchers pursue him. Arthur seeks safety within the walls of a house that only he can see. There are a myriad of secrets within these walls and uncounted mysteries attached to the key. Can he save himself and keep the key from the sinister Mr. Monday? Garth Nix has done it again with this sure to top the lists yarn. - Gail Cooke

Summary: Waste of money
Review: This book started off very good, but as it progressed it was incredibly boring i was basically falling asleep to it. The story has no story line, it isn't planned out well, the characters aren't described well and its mostly a narator telling the story. I would not suggest this book to anyone it was terrible! I should be more careful when I pick up a book. I started it like 2 months ago and i haven't liked reading it, there are few events and it's as boring as heck, there's no good concept to it.

Summary: Very, very good!
Review: I loved this book! I read the whole thing in less than a week (which is really good time because of my hectic college schedual). Anyone who has read Nix before, or anyone who hasn't, read this! Be prepared for a journey of a lifetime crammed into one day. I can't wait for the next book, Grim Tuesday, which will come out December 2003. Believe me when I say I'll be standing in line!
