I started reading this series with my 11-year old son recently. He became hooked right away. He is now reading book three... and can't put it down. I am so grateful to the author, James Dashner, for creating a vivid and compelling story line that captured my son's attention. This book deserves 5 stars because it changed my son's reading from a chore to an exciting adventure.
Spectacular Book!

This is an absolutely spellbinding book! It grips the reader from the first words, and won't let go. A wonderful, very easily readable book that young kids, as well as adults can relate to, and enjoy. The character's behavior is realistic and believable. The hero is a very likable little fellow, whose adventures I find myself completely absorbed in!
A Wonderful Story of Magic and High Adventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
James Dashner is a great writer and an all around good guy. In his first book "A Door in the Woods" he tells the strange tale of young Jimmy Fincher and his brush with magic and a dark destiny. The book flows well and is easy to read, making it ideal for younger readers. There are some frightening moments that might be a bit much for really young children but that's the only concern. If you've got kids that like fantasy, this book is a must.

I just finished "A Door In The Woods" and I have to say this author is going places. It was very original and entertaining. I would recommend it to anyone who has children with a sense of adventure. It's a real page turner and kept me hooked until the very end. Great job Mr. Dashner. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
