    A reviewer

    the edge chronicals are the gateway to the wondurful world of fantasy with twig as the leader and how it goes back in time in the 4th book. It kinda confused me just tad bit at first but the author made it clear to me. Also the author is the best author in my opinion since Darren Shan and his book series Cirqe Du Freak. THE EDGE CHRONICALS ROCKS OUT LOUD!

    Fantastic Beggining to a Fantastic Series!

    Beyond the Deepwoods was fabulous!!! The illustrations are brilliant and the storytelling is very creative. Paul Stewart was wonderful at creating anything from friendly woodtrolls to malevolent hammerhead goblins!!! Chris Riddel pulled me into Twig's adventures in the beautiful yet dangerous Deepwoods with his marvelous drawings!!! I very highly recommend this series!!!!

    THIS BOOK IS AWESOME

    This book is one of the best I have ever read Twig is such a real character that i can actually see running into him on the street the fantasy caharacters all represent some part of humanity such as the slaughters the are misconceived as being killers but they are really very kind to any passerby such as Twig i would highly suggest that anyone who reads fantasy should read this book 2 thumbs up

    An Unpredictable Adventure Story

    Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell started an exellent trillogy with Beyond the Deep Woods. The story is about a boy named Twig who is raised by woodtroll's and grows up getting mocked and beaten because he was different. He also strayed from the path when he was very young, during a game of trokblatter. Twig gets sent to his cousin Snetterbark's house because he had been noticed by a sky pirate capitan. Not a book i would recommend for chidren six and under but altogether an excellent book and the start of an excellent trillogy

    BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!

    This book is outstanding with it's fantasy characters that leave you in a state of awe. It has details so delicate that your mind can almost picture it. But don't worry for the pictures of awesome sketching are dislayed at every scene. The first day I started this book I got half through it and that night I decided to finish it the next day!

    Wow

    Wow, one word to describe the first book in this great series. My Friend has 1-3 and I read all of them one right after the other in two weeks in my spare time. I was sucked in. I just ordered 4,5, and 6. I can't wait until I get them.

    I love it.

    Even though it is juvenile fiction I picked this book up and I was riveted. I immediatly had to buy the next two and waited impatiently for the 4th to come out. Now with the fifth out and the sixth scheduled for release in October I am still hooked and avidly reading. The reader falls in love with the characters and wants to know more. This is an excellent book for a younger child and even adults.

    This is better than the series of unfortunate events

    I walked in to barnes and nobles for my summer reading book, and 'beyond the deepwoods' caught my eye. I picked it up for some fun reading and couldn't stop. This book had me laughing, confused, and also about to cry. I love this book and the others too.

    One of the Best Books Ever!

    I have read all of the Edge Chronicles books and they are extremely well written. I was first introduced to these books when visiting cousins in England where it was first printed. These books are excellent and I recommend them to anyone who likes the Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter series'.

    Twig in the deepwods

    This book is a book about Twig who in the end will... well be killed or survive the evil Gloamglozer. This book has a twist of magic , fun, and love in it. From the strong and ruthless (sometimes loving) sky pirates to meek and low lying wood trolls who never stray from the path to the caterbirds who think thy are one, to the horrifying gloamglozer who is so terrifying, then to the strong yet loving ,and caring banderbears who only fear wig wigs. This book is the perfect mixture of sadness , happiness, and love that makes it one of my favorite books.

    This is the AWSOMEST series ive EVER EVER EVER read.

    This trilogy of books is the greatest seeies ive ever read. Im not even finished with the sixth book and i think im reading to slow. This series is suspenceful and you have know idea whats coming next even if you look at the pictures you cant tell whats happening next. The authir is a brilliant writer and the illastrator is just perfact with the drawings, even more spot on than i could imagine. And in the third book you meet the shrykes. These horrible bird women are cruel and yerm for power. The charactor twig is forced to visit the shryke slave market. If you dont like tese books i personally think your a lunatic. These books influenced me to write the book i am writing niw and im only 14 if you see a book and the auther is S. H. Slusser youve found my book, if it ever makes it to the shelf i mean.

    Fantastic for basically all fantasy lovers!

    Beyond the Deepwodds is the first in the series of the edge chronicles and let me say that it was the best beginning to something i have ever read. The amount of imagery used from Paul Stewart is superb to the amount of detail that is in every picture from Chris Riddle.The story is just fantastic and if you like fantasy then you will love this beginning to an epic, sensational series.

    more from this reviewer

    Must Read I Highly Recommended

    I read this to my children every night before bed and sometime during the day when they are begging to hear more about "Twig" (main character)and the Gloamglozer and the Sky Pirates I find myself getting as excited as my children to find out what's going to happen next lol. Great series. Grab it now on your Nook and read it in seconds. Love my Nook and NookColor.
