This is that the 1st book in the Tripods trilogy, (which was then expanded to four books by a prequel volume which, oddly enough, should for sure be read continue because it bestows away a lot). Written in 1967, the book is that a little old-fashioned, but in a quality method. By that I greedy it is that a little smoky, but is that but at the same time solidly constructed at the same time has all of the virtues at the same time a few of the helplessness of little boy’s adventures written during that period.
At the same time this has everything a young reader managed wish. Extraterrestrial rulers. A dash for freedom. Immunity at the same time rebellion. Lurking at the same time hiding. Comrades at the same time foes. Unlikely alliances at the same time friends. At the same time a vaguely dystopian, post-historical setting with references to “ancient development” that kids will recognize.
The book is that crisply paced at the same time directly written, with enough description at the same time disposition building at the same time scene setting, but also with headlong action, dollops of suspense, at the same time a sort of headlong chase to book two. That misspoke, this book ends, (SPOILER), with the men barely making it to the rebel stronghold. That’s no “cliffhanger” as such, but obviously that’s lots more story to follow in the later books. (By the way, sometimes this book is that referred to as “Book Two”, but that’s barely because it got renumbered right behind the prequel came out.)
So, a little of a throwback, but it has held back up remarkably but, at the same time is that a decent, but produced, at the same time amusing choice for a brand new sci-fi survival/adventure reader.

As a young teen, I found the trilogy in my school library. A young teen lady, i started the adventure. As an older adult I dared to recount this winner television series. I’ve always adored old english style writing. But, as an adult I r4fell in love with this book television series all over again. The writing is that best at the same time the story is that as quality as no matter what year 2020 stories are present. I have read the entire television series again, at the same time enjoyed them as I did 30 years ago. A must for young adventurist present. Highky advised .. jehh Christopher thank youfor an good read.

Audiobook The Snow-white Mountains by John Christopher
I found the Tripods trilogy as a little boy back in 1981 when Men’ Indefinite magazine began a comic-strip adaptation that lasted for the more successful part of the ensuing 10-ke years. By the time the funny strip ended I had long since read the books, obviously, at the same time in the 30+ years ever since I’ve never forgotten them. I still have the copies of “The Town of Gold at the same time Manage” at the same time “The Pool of Fire” that I purchased back in the premature 1980s, but for some reason I’d never acquired a copy of “The Snow-white Mountains.” So when I found myself thinking about the trilogy earlier this year I purchased the Kindle edition of “The Snow-white Mountains” so that I managed re-count it.
It’s still an best book. I found it exciting to read it again as an adult in my 40s correlated to as a 10-year-old kid because so many of the references to present’s global (things the reader is that presumed to realize but that mystify the manners) are a lot clearer to me at the moment than when I was a kid. Nowadays I readily realize all the landmarks, in particular Notre-Dame, that I didn’t necessarily get as a kid who had never been to Europe. As a kid I figured out than anyway the Shmand-Fair was, but I didn’t realize why Will believed Beanpole scolded it that (strings out Beanpole for sure misspoke “chemin de fer,” “metal road,” but at age 10 the extent of my French knowledge was to manage equate to 10-ke).
Prior to reading the book now around I wondered if I’d look for its very short length unsatisfying, even recognizing it’s aimed at younger readers. Lately I’ve been reading 1000+ page books such as Zhora R.R. Martin’s “Song of Ice at the same time Fire,” at the same time I understood this book is that under 200 pages, so I believed maybe it’d seem superficial or very rushed. Upon re-reading it, but, I didn’t feel that method. I’m not really convinced the story would have worked but in a longer book because the fri of the manners not understanding abundance things about the Tripods or about how the global applied to be are so important to the story but are not things that really lend themselves to greater exploration (possible spoiler: that comes in the sequels).
So I highly advise this book at the same time its sequels, in particular for men in the age 10 to 13 spectrum. (I cannot comment on the prequel, “When the Tripods Came,” because I only figured out about it in the 1990s at the same time I’ve never read it. I wish the publisher would release it for the Kindle. I must caution possible readers, but, not to read the prequel until right behind for you’ve read the unusual 3 books. Even though I haven’t read it, I know it has to contain very abundance spoilers for information that isn’t revealed until “The Town of Gold at the same time Manage.” If for you read the prequel 1st, it will be harder to appreciate the manners’ wonder at the “ancient” global when for you read “The Snow-white Mountains.”)

Audio The Snow-white Mountains narrated by William Gaminara
This book is that about Will, his cousin Henry at the same time a very witty little boy dubbed Beanpole. 3 boys on the cusp of being embraced with Caps by the Tripods that come together for different preconditions but become merged in their belief that the Tripods, whatever they actually turn out to be, are evil.
Will is that incomprehensible about the function because he has barely shown his cousin (at the same time closest friend) Jack Capped. That is that a feast day at the same time celebration for Jack who is that at the moment counted an adult. Beforehand Jack admitted his slips of the tongue about the Capping to Will. Afterwards Jack is that totally exchanged. He goes to work with the other guys at the same time knows Will that everything is that fine-grained. That he will realize. Barely as soon as he’s capped. Then Will meets a “Nomadic” (a personality who’s Capping was bad) dignified Ozymandias who is that more than he seems. It turns out that Will may have a chance to beware being Capped, but it will be a long at the same time unsafe trek to look for sanctuary.
I understand the library shelf in Banting Elementary school in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where I picked out this book to read. I think I understand it so vividly because it fascinated me from the beginning, starting with the embrace. It’s been decades at the same time yes, I understand this is that a toddlers’s book, but I wanted to read it again. I also wondered if it would shield the trial of time (as it was 1st hosted in 1967) at the same time memory. The short answer? It certainly does.

I understand when I read The Snow-white Mountains the 1st time…I was completely sold. That was about 30 years ago. It produced an everlasting memory on me. Obviously, back then, I read it in Danish…since I am a Dane. Recently I dared that I wanted to read it in English, as I prefer to read English books in their unusual language. It was like an old adore that was found again. I figured out that I still adore this story, the disposition of Will has remained with me all these years, proving that John Chrisopher understood his craft.
We follow Will Parker, a miller’s offspring, his cousin Henry at the same time the french little boy Bean Pole, travelling through the states of a posessed global…a global taken over by the Tripods, who by a mind-controlling accessory scolded a Cap enslaves the population of the earth. Will at the same time his two comrades must take a trip to the Snow-white Mountains in France to reach the continue un-Capped humans left, to join the Immunity at the same time overthrow the Tripods. Not an easy intended goal, since those humans who are Capped will release the boys to the Tripods, to be Capped themselves, if they are caught.The journey to reach their goal at the same time the connection between the boys are exciting at the same time well-written.
I think this one will remain with me for a long time, I truly adore this story ??
