Reseñas de la Crítica

"British thriller-writer Kerr puts an ingenious spin on the enchanted-lamp theme.¿" (Booklist)

Great book, great Narrator

Overall 8.6 book and 8.2 Narrator. PB does a fantastic job keeping your interest without any disappointing plot twists.

interesting

it was a very imaginative tale delving deeper into the lives of the genie comparatively I would say it is to genies what Harry Potter has become to the wizarding community

Brilliant book

Really great story. My kids (6 & 8) loved every minute of it! can't wait to listen to the next one.

Very Entertaining!

This book was a great read, with a bit of fright, humor, and a lot of great storytelling!

Fun and Satisfying

I've seen this title on the shelves for years, but I always had so many others to read. In looking for an audible (sometimes I want someone else to read to me), I stumbled across the Children of the Lamp series again. I downloaded this first one and was delighted. It had just enough adventure, history, mystery, and fantasy to satisfy my literary appetite. Ron Keith did an awesome job of narrating. He has a whimsical style to his reading that made even the most mundane sentences fun to hear. I look forward to listening to the next book of the series.

This has always been my favorite book.

This has been my favorite book for the past 10 years. it's crazy when they say a book chooses you because this articular one has definitely chose me. Having the narrator read it makes it so much more alive. I hope sometime soon they will add the extra series to Audible.

good clean non-romance story

non-romance that isn't scary is hard to find sometimes. this is just a good ole story! really enjoyed it. considering playing it for my kids as they'd like it too.

hook your kids on audiobooks with this series

this is a great story to hook even a reluctant child on a car trip. the story doesn't talk down to children, but includes a few icky bits that keep kids entertained.

nice light mystery with a lot of good and bad character traits mixed to differing results.

as an adult I find these a nice escape into a kind and dangerous world.

best book from my childhood

wishing all books were narrated from this narrator and wishing all books were rewritten and reloved ❤️

One of My Favorite Books

It's quite exciting and enthralling. I can't wait till audible gets the next book. When there's not excitment, there's always something interesting.
