More About This Book

Overview

From bestselling and National Book Award-winning author M. T. Anderson comes the paperback reissue of a middle-grade adventure starring two of the most disarmingly deadpan boys you'll ever meet.

When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant relative's strange manse . . . well, they should know better than to go, but since this is a middle-grade adventure novel, they go anyway. Why not? Once there, they stumble upon The Game of Sunken Places, a board game that mirrors a greater game for which they have suddenly became players. Soon the boys are dealing with attitudinal trolls, warring kingdoms, and some very starchy britches. Luckily, they have wit, deadpan observation, and a keen sense of adventure on their side.

    Game of Sunken Places =]

    The Game of Sunken Places was an excellent book! It's very very easy to read and understand, and it's not one of those boring books you just want to get rid of. It's the kind of book you get into and think "wtf? This is so mythical yet sooo delightful!"
    well.
    that's just me.

    Good Book

    I thought this book was exceptional. It ties in a lot of other books' ideas as well. I would definitely recomend it to a friend. Yes, there were ups and downs, but all books are like that! They aren't supposed to go the way the reader wants it to.

    What are you people thinking?

    I'm not quite sure that I read the same book some of you people read. I, for one, thought that this book was very well-done. It interested me with its humor (sometiems witty, sometimes dark, always funny) and intriguing plotline. i honestly found myself to be laughing so hard that I teared. It may be a little off-beat and random, this is true, but so many of today's funniest things ARE like this. Oh, and one more thing: Who HASN'T borrowed something from another of the same field? You can see the influence of so many great authors in the works of Tolkien, Lewis, Rowling, Adams, and Colfer, to name a few. Get a clue and wise up...

    cool idea, but not well written

    I picked this up because it looked interesting, and it kind of was. Its a pretty cool plot, but it wasn't written very well. It tries to pull off some dry humor, like Lemony Snickets books (which are much funnier, by the way), but it fails miserably. Probably not worth your time.

    was the author drunk while writing this?

    jeez. the book went along joltingly, and the author didnt lead people into the plot. he just either said 'the rules of the game r forbidden 2 b revealed' or explained everything, leaving nothing 2 the imagination. it was a struggle 2 get through it. and the boys r 2 smart, 2. there rnt many clues, yet the boys somehow mannage 2 solve every puzzle w/ plenty of time 2 spare.

    Ugg!

    What was this author thinking!! This tale was a cross between Shrek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, A Series of Unfotunate Events, and the 'His Dark Materials' series all jumbled toghter. Seemingly a good combination, but not in this sense. Everything came out stupidly and just....wrong. The story was boring, confusing, and terribly unsurprising. I, a lover of fantasy, thought I would enjoy this book, but I positivley hated it. There was only one surprise at the end, which was cool, but that was about it. This author tried to make this story too much like books already out on the shelves. I am advising you to really, skip this horrid book and read something else.
