My grandson loves this series. I've bought the entire series for him as I want to encourage him to read. He was thrilled to get them, so I'm a very happy grandma. He's a very good reader, that's why I marked easy on the difficulty level. It may be different for someone else, I don't know.

Nice story for a nine year old
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015
While the length was disappointing, I did find this to be quite a unique part of the series. The city of Atheia, which Phoney Bone believes has gold, is very grand in its nature, I believe much inspired by Rome. This book mostly builds up the tension for the next book and if there's one thing that could've made this better, I'd say this book could've had more time spent when the protagonists ventured the city. Heck, if there weren't time to fit this all in one book, maybe there could've been another where a character such as Tanael, a fellow outsider of this kingdom, gave a tour of Atheia and told of her time growing up there. Maybe even introduce a temporary antagonist such as a kidnapper of Tanael's parents.

Once you start reading about the Bone cousins and their troubles, you feel as though you are a part of the action and have to follow them to the end as they meet more fantastic characters. Every person, animal, and creature adds to the adventure of the Bone cousins as they try to make a new life for themselves and uncover secrets about other characters past which will impact their future. The book act is vibrant with lots of details to the characters (human and other) as well as they scenery around them.

My 9 year old loves this series. Written in a comic form, he devoured these books within a few weeks. I kept having to buy the next one and then we donated them to his teacher's library so his friends could read. Bones is a creature who lives with his cousins and goes on adventures with his cousins. He even read them out of sequence then went back and read in order again. Great books. Loved by the kids at school too.

Nothing but good to say here, great physical quality in production, only exceeded by the quality of the story itself. I would recommend buying the books like this as individual stories then one big hard to hold book with all the volumes. Plus the cover art is superb !

I can't tell you how many people I have recommended Bone to. Every time I am in a comic book store and see a mother and a youngster looking for something to break into in the comic scene. The first thing that comes to mind is Bone. It's a great all ages book, it's well written and your kids will love it. With all the "adult" stuff out there... you really need to be cautious what your children are reading. Bone is quality and safe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Okay, I needed a couple of reads of this before I got over the loss of some of the humour that I so love in this series. But the action is breathtaking and there is still humour too. Wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bone is the Best
Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2016
When my daughters were young, I wanted them to read more. I don't remember how I stumbled on the Bone series but I did, and they loved it. They devoured every bound volume, and, more importantly, continued to read other books. Jeff Smith created a wonderful series that can be read by boys or girls (or their parents).
