It'southward in this book that the trusty fisherboy, who appears at present and then in the first v books, mysterious changes his name from Alf to James. I like to retrieve Blyton was playing the long game and had the series endured past book 23 this would have been resolved amid the unravelling of some dastardly plot.
This book is one of the weaker ones in the due south
Although I rated this ane long ago information technology turns out that I was mistaken in thinking I had read information technology. Recently I listened to the audiobook with my daughter.Information technology's in this book that the trusty fisherboy, who appears now and then in the kickoff five books, mysterious changes his proper name from Alf to James. I like to recall Blyton was playing the long game and had the series endured past volume 23 this would have been resolved amid the unravelling of some dastardly plot.
This book is one of the weaker ones in the serial. It centres on Uncle Quentin's ill-specified scientific endeavors. In book 2 he was writing formula and brewing things in test tubes. Men working for an unspecified "foreign country" worked to infiltrate his household and steal his papers. In volume 4 he seemed to be some sort of ceremonious engineer collaborating on a projection to bleed a marsh and getting kidnapped by an irate smuggler. In book vi the ubiquitous uncle is working solo on a government funded project that should "eliminate the need for coal, oil, and gas". Uncle Quentin appears to be most to solve the problem of nuclear fusion single handedly!
The science involves a alpine belfry fabricated of plastic with wires poking out of the walls and a glass room at the tiptop. We later acquire that the experiment has the ability to cause an explosion that would completely destroy the whole island. This is not, withal, the reason Quentin has recused himself to the island (much to George'south disgust). No, health and safety were never mentioned. Eschewing this unproblematic and reasonable reason why Quentin might need to exist on an uninhabited isle Bylton wanders out on the slender limb of her scientific knowledge and declares that his work needs to be conducted below h2o and with h2o on all sides. We never find out why.
Of course bad men desire to steal his idea. This fourth dimension for profit rather than "the enemy". Quentin gets spooked that in that location maybe someone on the island even though reality has shifted and made information technology utterly incommunicable for anyone other than George and the local fishermen to navigate the rocks and land on the island.
Timmy has to stay to guard Quentin while dorsum on shore the children monitor his lantern and mirror signals to ostend he is ok.
George "simply like a girl" gives away besides much information to a shady blazon who shows an interest. He likewise provides the mandatory "actress child" in the form of his son.
It turns out that the baddies take parachuted onto the island to overcome the impassable rocks. For the residue of the series the rocks are eminently passable and fossil fuels are all the same used despite Uncle Quentin's discoveries...
It's a Famous Five book so of form there have to exist caves. Not only caves but a nonsensical series of natural dry out tunnels running from the isle under the sea and surfacing on the mainland. Think nigh that one for a bit ... attempt to imagine how they formed and how they don't fill with h2o.
Pistols are drawn once more and a shot is fired! Don't worry, **SPOILER** Timmy survives.
Anyhow, the baddies are caught, the son turns out not to exist related by blood and gets a chance at a new life where he can utilise his artistic talent, and all's well that ends well.
What kind of scientist will Uncle Quentin be next? Stay tuned!

Peradventure information technology was the fact that they were back on Kirrin Isle for the third fourth dimension... or perhaps it was because not a lot actually happened until the 3rd act, when things did get-go to pick up.
Don't get me wrong; I yet enjoyed the volume... simply nowhere near as much every bit the previous two.

This instalment in the Famous 5 series seemed a little wearisome to me in comparison to the last two books, which were both pretty high on the excitement scale.Perhaps it was the fact that they were back on Kirrin Island for the third time... or peradventure it was because not a lot really happened until the third human activity, when things did starting time to pick up.
Don't get me wrong; I still enjoyed the book... but nowhere near every bit much equally the previous two.
P.South. - I'chiliad non completely mad; I do realise I'chiliad not the target audition for this book. ;-)

Anne although the others call up y'all're a pointless, incompetent turd, I think you're brave and kind with merely a hint of Snow White twee for good measure.

The Famous V and Hole-and-corner Vii remind me of summer holidays at my grandmas; I loved these books.
Luckily they're not old enough (or immature) to express joy at Enid's brilliantly named characters. Sadly, I am.
This isn't my favourite book in the series, information technology'south main focus is on foreign Uncle Quentin on Kirrin Island.

This story was amazing. We both loved it. Information technology kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time.
The four children and Timmy was making ponders all through. The appearance of two characters Martin and his guardian additionally stimulated interest in me as I was anxiously brushing through the pages to know the acme. The peak was absolute It is genuinely a fascinating story among well known five serial with part of anticipation and undercover associated with it. The individuals who have not perused five in treasure Isle will be addled as this story is pretty much the continuation of that one.

Just office which sounds tad exhausting was uncle Quintines experiments as science was mixed with fiction which will evoke lack of involvement for the people who love suspense thrillers... ...more
A heartwarming and highly enjoyable sick-bed read.
Pure nostalgia
I can't believe i didn't read whatever of these every bit a child but I'm making up for it at present and thoroughly enjoying information technology. We've read a lot of Enid Blyton but these are past far the best.

She certainly knew she was on a winning formula with tunnels, scientists, threats to the world and ginger beer and cakes!
This was quite good with Timmy and George beingness the heroes this time while poor Anne had to sort clothes and prepare meals. And then many secret tunnels which all seem to take been congenital perfectly at some time. If yous tin go over things you know that just are factual, yous can still enjoy these books.
Every bit English isn't my mother tongue, I found the language easy and that helped me to savor it alot!
Such a cracking adventure!
I can't look till I get all the books in the series. I am gonna miss these 5 so bad! Not just them but aunt Fanny, Joanah, Martin and for sure the coastguard, oh! I was almost to forget uncle Quenien

At the starting time I thought that Uncle Quentin was the chief culprit only at the stop was twist and ii unknown people begam the principal culprit, Peter and Johnson.
Enjoyed it very much
Well, with the mystery, sadly, I prefer the TV show over the volume.
The summary a goes like this.

Timmy (George'south dog), Anne, Dick (I really dislike this name...), and Julian wanted to spend the vacation on George's isle, but tin't since her father is doing some. Secret experiments there. A

Timmy (George's dog), Anne, Dick (I really dislike this name...), and Julian wanted to spend the vacation on George'due south island, just tin can't since her father is doing some. Underground experiments at that place. And later they plant out that they might non be the simply ones on there.
There'south nothing happening in the outset really, and when 1 of the antagonist came I could immediate sense it was him who was the villain...It did pick up later, but savage flat then once over again... There qanat a sense of adventure. I don't even know if younger me would relish this.
And, don't know if information technology was me, but George annoyed me a picayune with her moaning about Her island at the commencement. Overall, it was just...'there washed and cipher changed' kind of volume.
If I ever become my easily on the other books I wouldn't mind giving them a read, though.
You can go ahead an try this. The writing is uncomplicated since it is a children's volume.

And so Timmy, the best guard canis familiaris in the world has been left on Kirrin Island (rather begrudgingly past George) to protect Uncle Quentin. Ofcourse, information technology doesn't accept long for adventure to sniff effectually the heels of the Five and they are soon plunged into a world of mysterious tunnels and unsafe criminals.
Yet some other fun and engrossing read from Kirrin Island.

Later, the risk began and they surprised to find out that it all had to practise with Uncle Quentin experiment.
Fun to read just non my favourite book in the series. I liked Timmy's judgment in this book and wondered why George couldn't use better judgment. Simply that's how childhood might be.
Offset fourth dimension I'm rereading The Famous Five series. Some series are as beautiful to read as adults as they were in babyhood. This series does fall into that category.Fun to read but not my favourite book in the series. I liked Timmy'south judgment in this book and wondered why George couldn't use better judgment. Only that'south how childhood might be.
