My 10-year-old says this is the best of the four George books.  This book does a great job incorporating pictures and the details of the real science behind what George and Annie experience in their adventure.

  I was frustrated because the book was released in Great Britain in June, but never here.  It has been available on Kindle since June as well.

  These books are very popular in the elementary school library here.  I hope Ms. Hawking and her father continue the series.  They really encourage a love of science.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and especially liked that it was the concurrent story lines of the "other" characters (and that there was lots of "House" Targaryen content!) Can't wait for the next book. Come on George!

Character development is George's specialty. This book delivers keeping you in suspense about "who done it" until the very end. Worth the read.

I now have read both books from this author. I have to say that "Mimsy" is my favorite! Although it was close between this one and the first book of the series! I love how this author writes. He keeps you interested at every twist and turn. Makes it difficult to figure out what the next turn will be and always has you guessing! I love reading Steve George's books! I cannot wait for the next one!!!!

I am the nephew of George Lindsay. I was thrilled to help in the production of this book as I was asked to do much to enhance the biographical portion of it. I was always aware of 3 peaks and a domed house pattern that George is most well known. Like many have found, it was difficult to digest George's dense writing style as my father Frank received his brother's regular market letters, I would also try to decipher them. Ed Carlson does this deciphering remarkably well. I'm finally beginning to have a good basic understanding about most of George's major techniques explained in this book and how they integrate together.

The biographical section was originally planned as 3 chapters, but the editors decided to limit it to one. However, if you want to see more biographical information and pictures of George and my family, go to georgelindsay.com. There are also links to Ed Carlson and Seattle Technical Advisors on the site.

I was also pleased that Ed Carlson mentioned the book George wrote, "The Other History." George took the timing techniques he discovered with the stock market and applied them to history. "The Other History" is again explained well by Ed and dealt with relatively short time spans of 40 to 70 years or so. "The Lost Manuscripts" that I mostly have that are mentioned in Ed's book are of time spans of nations histories that could run up to 400 years! Many parts of "The Lost Manuscripts" were very autobiographical and helped Ed further understand George Lindsay as to his total uniqueness and genius.

I really hope market technicians, history buffs and anyone interested in investing will buy this great book.

Please, reviewers, don't ruin a major story development for the rest of us.  Please consider that a lot of people come to these reviews BEFORE they read the book, and when you reveal the fate of a major character, you really take away from the full reading enjoyment of others.  Telling me the book is great is of small value when you ruin a major plotline.

That said, this is a worthy companion to the previous Elizabeth George novels.  I shed a tear or two at the end, which is unusual to say the least.  This is an engrossing, educational read and right up there with George's best.

Funniest book I've read in ages. I read it slowly over several days to make it last, not wanting to leave the Mahood family. George's unique humor and wit has made me feel like a different person... the thoughts inside my head are now using a British accent. Brilliant.

This is George's second book. His writing voice and ability to provide his reader with imagery is outstanding. Anyone interested in MC culture will enjoy this book. Although this book is "fiction", it sure does seem detailed and personal. Which in my opinion, is a big part of the attraction. At times I was wondering, " Is this something that actually occurred? ". George Christie is definitely coming into his own as a writer who has the ability to spin a yarn blurring the line between fiction and nonfiction. I recommend this book to anyone who rides a motorcycle. It isn't your typical biker book. It is much better, refreshing even! He even signed my copy, and sent a autographed photo!

I really enjoyed reading that so many of the other reviewers used this book as party favors, treat bag gifts, etc. - that sums up how universal Curious George is and that he'll be accepted with open arms by all children and their parents. I buy copies of this specific adventure routinely, as kids I do volunteer work with love getting the birthday theme on their own birthdays. Just great, great fun, and if I may add a personal note...my son is autistic, and this is one of his favorite characters. There's something very sweet and non-threatening about these stories, no matter what kind of pickle George finds himself in, and I think that this is so nice in a world where all the Disney movies seem to start and/or end with the death of a major character. What's up with that???? The Monkey Rocks!!!!

George has really done good this time, this story is getting better and better by the movies. It's no wonder how the original trilogy is so epic. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is so exciting on so many different levels.

Jason Chin's best book yet! Amazing illustrations, simple engaging and accurate text. Lots of little suprises and additional information. The "time travel" aspect of the young child being able to see the Grand Canyon as it was in the past is well done in this book, and more understandable for a young child than in his previous books. Lovely, and will stay in the house long after your kids grow up.

If you read the other books, you'll enjoy reading this one.  George doesn't disappoint with this return to Westeros and the lands beyond.

As in other George MacDonald books, one is never disappointed!

Without a doubt, George has hit the nail on the head! This is great for kids, especially now! It also inspired me to write better and enjoy my audience! He obviously enjoys his audience. I loved the poetry and the names of the places on the map.  E_V_E_R_Y_O_N_E should buy this , get it in the hands of any kids you can. Outstanding job, George!

We have every single one of the Curious George books, classic and the CGTV early reader.  LO loves the CGTV one better because they are more colorful.  As he grow older (he's only 3 right now), I am sure he will appreciate the classic more and more. Started reading to him from day 1, and haven't stopped.  Love it.

Another FANTASTIC read from George Mahood! I can't wait to see what he has planned next.

This is my fourth book I've completely read from Author Margaret George; The Autobiography of Henry VIII,  Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I, and finally the Confessions of Young Nero.  I must tell you that I was not expecting too much due to the overwhelming number of books purporting to tell his story.  What could she tell us that was different.
 I am happy to say that Ms, George has done it again, giving us a "revised standard" version of this Roman Emperor.  Revised because it shows the human side of the young boy growing up in the shadowed and sheltered Imperial family.  A lot off the things he was accused of were actually done by so-called advisors or family members. This is a must read that you will find interesting and it will shed light on a much maligned ruler of the Roman Empire.  I'm giving four stars because I want to read the next book which will complete this story. Then give my final ratings
