Flight from the Dark (Lone Wolf, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gorwing up in the 80's and early 90's I had always been a fan of game books like Choose your own adventure, Advanced Dungeons, interplanetary spy etc. I first saw the Lone wolf books in a 7th grade book fair and my friend convinced me to buy one. I bought Lone Wolf 8: The Jungle of Horrors. After completing that book I was hoooked. I set out to purchase more books from this series, because I had very little money at the time, I only managed to add the following to my collection:
Lone Wolf 1: Flight from the dark
Lone Wolf 3: Caverns of Kalte
Lone Wolf 5: Shadow on the Sand
Lone wolf 10: The Dungeons of Torgar
Lone wolf 13: The Plague Lords of Reul
Lone wolf 15: The Dark Crusade
Lone wolf 16: The Legacy of Vashna
Soon after I really started getting into these books they stopped publishing them. Over the years the books I did have were misplaced. I am a lot older now and recently had a bit of nostalgia and decided to hunt down books 1 - 16 because I thought 16 was the last Lone wolf book. I soon found out that Dever actually had 20 books published in the U.S. I now have books 1 - 19 still searching for that elusive #20. I wasnt planning on reading them, I just wanted to collect them. But after deciding to read Book #1 again I was hooked all over again, I am now on book 8 and plan to complete the entire series whenever I can get Lone wolf 20.
In a world dominated by video games and TV, kids these days never seem to want to read anymore. When I was growing up, video games systems were just starting to come out and were many times too expensive for my parents to afford. Reading books and playing outside were my only forms of entertainment and I think it has done me well in the long run. Books will probally never be a form of entertainment for young kids these days as it was for people growing up in my generation. Who knows one day, books will probally be completely phased out. What a shame. I just wish more kids these days would see that reading can be fun, entertaining and educational at the same time as Joe Dever proved that to me.
