Acerca de esta escucha

On the Midwinter Day that is his eleventh birthday, Will Stanton discovers a special gift: he is the last of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to keeping the world from domination by the forces of evil, the Dark. At once, he is plunged into a quest for the six magical Signs that will one day aid the Old Ones in the final battle between the Dark and the Light. And for the twelve days of Christmas, while the Dark is rising, life for Will is full of wonder, terror, and delight.

This book is a rare act of creative imagination in which the listener will be equally moved by the warm happy village life Will shares with his large family and the nearly overwhelming danger he encounters, often in other centuries and places, while he seeks the Signs and learns their power. Interweaving ancient Celtic and English traditions with the legends of the Buckinghamshire hills and valleys where she grew up, Susan Cooper has written a superlative dramatic fantasy of the eternal conflict between good and evil out of which all myth is made.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"As narrator, Alex Jennings superbly conveys Will's mixed emotions." (AudioFile)
"So perfect is the match between Alex Jennings' voice and this mysterious magical tale that it is difficult to imagine any other voice reading these words." (The Horn Book Magazine)

Excellent Audio Version of an Excellent Book

This series has always been one of my favorites and I've read this book innumerable times. I was hesitant about the audio version, because it can change the way you perceive the book. My only complaint would be that the recitation of the poems/chants wasn't, to my opinion, done very well, but that is a minor complaint. I really enjoyed the addition of the correct accent to the way I've always "heard" the story narrated in my mind.

The Dark is Rising

Would you listen to The Dark Is Rising again? Why?

Yes, every year.

What other book might you compare The Dark Is Rising to and why?

I think other Young Adult books remind me of the Dark is Rising. On a recent re-listen, II found that I was reminded of Septimus Heap, Harry Potter, Fablehaven.

What does Alex Jennings bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The accent!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Ignore the previous attempt

hmmm

liked it once I wasn't so confused... the story for me was just a little hard to follow maybe there was something I had missed in the beginning of the book once I got to the last few chapters then things started to make sense. overall it was a good story

A quest, a young boy and eternal values

Glad to find this book. Surprised that it predates the Harry Potter series. Vividly written…an ancient tale. The reader was perfect!

Great book

Best book ever if you like fantasy and magic or mystical things that take place in the real world such as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I had to chose this rating there is literally nothing bad about this book. And don’t trust the rooks. :)

Nostalgic Favorite

As a kid this was one of my favorite books. I still enjoy rereading or rerlistening to it around Christmas every once in a while. This version is very well performed. listened to it as a late winter hit this year right around Christmas followed by a huge blizzard that turned to endless unseasonal rain. Perfect.
