Claim Now The River Of Adventure (Adventure, #8) Assembled By Enid Blyton Made Available In Readable Copy

.
EB must have written this when in a bad mood,
Too many pricks of racialism and looking down upon anyone not British I was angry with the kids, their parents and all the characters in the book in general.

Thekids and the irritating parrot Kiki, are on a boat adventure this time as Bill is send to investigate a smuggler in a remote country and the children are recouping from a bad flu.
Bill needs them as he is planning to go incognito as a family man,
Rereading this series as an adult makes me realized how, . . terribly dangerous their adventures are, . . Honestly it's a miracle they still alive without any serious scars, and somehow their parents don't really make a big deal

One of my question through reading the book is how many suitcases of canned food did they bring to their adventures Seriously tho, all they do, besides the adventure obviously, is opening dozens of canned food yet they never ran out of food I read this as a child and despite loving the other books in the series I found this one extremely patronizing.
It's so obvious the author knew next to nothing about the Middle East and the characters seem a cheap caricature of Indians with snake charmers and oddly behaving natives.
I mean the real India here and not the erroneously called Red Indians, I'm sure even Indians will find it insulting though, Okay so this was too bad for Enid, I meant I have read hundreds of her books but this one is just,yeah you know,not special, Maybe this is because I compare it with a total different conditionTo be honest I haven't read any of Enid's books since I left elementary school so yeah I don't know,but I was not a happy reader.


Lucy Ann,Dinah,Jack,and Philip are going to Middle East country with Bill and their mother after suffering a severe flu just before they can go back to school.
Bill had a duty to spy a man called Uma who had evil plan to rob all of the ancient treasure from a secret temple buried under the grown.
They travel with a boat along the river from a town to another with a local man called Tala, Bill was kidnapped by Mr Uma and the children with Oola had their thrilling adventure under the forgotten temple to get the treasure before Mr Uma catch them, This was a great book! even though i did read this out of order, i am really hooked on this series! can't wait to read the rest : i really like Enid's writing !
Horeeee.
diterbitkan ulang oleh GPU Reread, Buku terakhir dr seri petualangan dan salah satu favku, Seru aja. Seri covernya cetak ulang ini aku benarbenar suka, Kalo gak inget timbunan, jadi pengin koleksi lagi, Nooo !!

Q: apa GPU bakal cetul seriEnid Blyton yg lain, spt seri pasukan mau tahu atau sapta siaga atau seri misteri Oke juga tuh kayaknya buat nostalgia bacaan.


GD Suka. Seru. Senang juga bisa berpesiar keluar negeri selama dua minggu, Saya suka Oola. Kasihan, dia dipukuli pamannya dan badannya kurus kering, Dia setia sekali pada Phillip yg sudah menyelamatkannya, A river cruise through ancient desert lands will be an adventure in itself, think Philip, Dinah, LucyAnn, and Jack, An adventure it certainly is, especially when Bill disappears and the children, along with Kiki the parrot, are trapped beneath a forgotten temple where no one has set foot for,years.
Good adventure. I think the portrayal of other cultures and people is rather old fashioned now! Such an enjoyable series

Can hardly believe I am at the end.
This was a fitting end as the gang found themselves battling the roguish Uma, The joy comes not only from the main characters, Oola was a real star, A bit of a different sort of adventure for an Enid Blyton book, as she rarely ventures outside of Europe, but there you go, Of course Philip, Jack, Lucy Ann and Dinah solve a mystery, discover a valuable historical treasure, and capture the baddie, All in a days work with help from Kiki and a Bargua snake, Love this series, but this wasn't the best of them, Still, it's Enid, so five! Like generations of children I fell in love with reading largely due to Enid Blyton and she hasnt lost the ability to enchant.
The eighth and last in the Adventure series and very conveniently after having had a bad bout of influenza Dinah, Philip, Jack, and LucyAnn accompanied by Kiki, the parrot are sent away on vacation on doctors orders for convalescence cue an adventure.
They set off to Barira, near the borders of Syria, and board a river launch accompanied by guide Tala and Philip acquires a devoted fan in local boy Oola who proves mighty useful in a tight spot.




Enid Blyton is a master at spinning a fun and exciting yarn at which the children are centre stage very quickly the adults are incapacitated in some way and they are on their own.
I love the way she includes the wildlife including a major part for Kiki, the parrot, I hope the current and future generations of children still continue to enjoy Enid Blyton because she is still worthy of attention, I have enjoyed reading this series from my childhood and there were some great adventures in it, However, it was definitely time to finish it up, The adventure happened in a couple of chapters and wasn't even very good, It all happened too quickly, There was the usual secret cave and treasure but it didn't grab me like some of the others, There was also the usual descriptions of all the food they ate, I think they must have all been obese when they got older because they always seemed to be eating,
The thing with Oola just annoyed me, Still glad I reread them though, In this series i always love how Enid describes all the delicious meals they have! Don't u all agree While good overall I felt like we were rehashing bits of old plots.
Mr Uma was too similar to the evil uncle in Ship, the cave of treasure too similar to Valley,
My children still enjoyed it and continue to find Kiki hilarious but the series has ended up being a bit too formulaic,Typical adventure stories, set in the British highlands, across rough seas, on moors and forgotten mansions, with stories of young adults that could span several generations without being outdated.


The adventure series, while fun, were meant for an even younger reader group, with simple and easy to follow language, Interesting and page turners, nonetheless, Konec dobrý, všechno dobré! Tahle osmidílná série a čtyrčlenná parta s papouškem mě prostě baví, Myslím, že na to nikdy nebudu stará, jak na knihy, tak na filmy, Baví mě ta jejich dětská bezprostřednost a taky bych strašně mov chtěla zažít takové dobrodružství jako oni!! The kids accompany Bill and Allie to a Syria type place where Bill is on the hunt for yet another criminal.
When Bill and Allie are kidnapped, the children and Kiki find themselves stuck on a fast moving river, that leads them to an ancient discovery, Atmospheric Amazing story Kiki is still amazing nice mystery and the cave part to wrap up the mystery yes Here we have another set of convalescent children who are told by the doctor that they need a couple of weeks more out of school to get strong again did this really happen in that period Nowadays people either are ill or healthy, there's none of these extended vacations when they recover.
But it is not uncommon in EB's books, Bill again puts his family at risk by taking them in one of his missions, as cover while he spies on a suspect,

Bill and Mrs, Mannering Mrs. Cunningham now are captured, and the children have to escape, accompanied by the motorlaunch driver Tala and a native boy, They narrowly avoid falling down a waterfall and find an ancient temple full of treasury, while trying to avoid the bad guy, An example of the attitudes of the time is the fact that Tala, despite being an adult, meekly follows the lead of the occidental children,

I found the book quite entertaining, although the bad guy, initially promising, turned out to be rather useless and pathetic, I have to admit that, when reading Enid Blyton's children adventures, I tend to prefer the ones set in the UK with the exception of The Mountain of Adventure, which is one of Blyton's best.
I have the impression that the ones set far away tend to be more farfetched, less grounded, and in general with less of Enid's enjoyable landscape descriptions,

So it's not bad at all, but for me this is not Blyton at her very best, In my opinion the first half of the Adventure series is superior to the second half,

These are the books of the series, ordered from best to worst in my opinion, of course:
The Valley of Adventure
The Castle of Adventure
The Sea of Adventure
The Island of Adventure
The Ship of Adventure
The Circus of Adventure
The River of Adventure
The Mountain of AdventureProbably read sometime betweenmy favourite quote:

"It was pretty tough at times," said Jack.
"The girls were marvellous. Good as boys any day, "
This was such an unusual compliment from Jack that both the girls stared in surprise, See also: sitelink Ένιντ Μπλάιτον Greek sitelink Enida Blaitona Latvian sitelink Энид Блайтон Russian sitelink Inid Blajton Serbian sitelink Енід Блайтон UkrainianEnid Mary Blytonwas an English author of childrens books, Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading, She was educated at St, Christophers School, Beckenham, and having decided not to pursue her music at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher, She taught for five years before hermarriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters, This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters, She died in, one year after her second husband, Bly See also: sitelink Ένιντ Μπλάιτον Greek sitelink Enida Blaitona Latvian sitelink Энид Блайтон Russian sitelink Inid Blajton Serbian sitelink Енід Блайтон UkrainianEnid Mary Blytonwas an English author of children's books, Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading, She was educated at St, Christopher's School, Beckenham, and having decided not to pursue her music at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher, She taught for five years before hermarriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters, This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters, She died in, one year after her second husband, Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimatedbooks over aboutyears, Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic, Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St, Clare's.
