Here Lies Arthur - By: RMac, 02 Jul 2008 
This has just won the CILIP (Childrens Librarians')Carnegie Award for the best children's novel of 2007. A book full of romance, intrigue & life in Medieval times - it would interest adults too - a kind of Arthurian Harry Potter!
Not His Best Materials - By: Ma A. R. Sutton, 21 Mar 2008 
The thing about Philip Reeve is that he is reallly interested in the telling, retelling & fortelling of history. From the Mortal Engines Quartet & the Larklight books this has prooved exceptional material for him. However, the seminal Hungry Ciry books & the jolly Larkight books are one thing, but the writing (or re-evaluation) of this British history is not his best effort. The book is dull at best, but does have some lovely issues which i see the national theatre (in england) taking on & Helen Edmonson doing a fantastic adaptation of for a long running stage play. However, the book isn't up to that on its own. This is a drab unlikely book that reallly seems to loose it's purpose half way though & doesn't reallly regain it.
This is not to discredit Reeve's imagination or writing skills... just this seems an odd choice for him, & it's deffinatly an oddly written book.
Read it! - By: S. Edwards-Sim, 04 Jan 2008 
This reallly is a fantastic book which makes you view the Arthurian legends in a whole new light. Philip Reeve has a fantastic, attractive & easily readable style & this book is particularly gripping. Read it & enjoy.

A brilliant new book, by a brilliant writer - By: J., 02 Jul 2007 Beautifully written, moving & blood-chilling at the same time. This book alllows you a glance behind probably every kind of political propaganda machine.
