If it wasn't for those meddlesome kids3 September 2012tAfter a really intense and dark adventure, the Five return for an adventure that seems to be a little less dangerous, though of course we still have the rather nasty and vicious bad guys. This time Blyton has sent the Five on a hike over the ...
- FAMOUS FIVE 2012: CHILDHOOD REVISITED -Book three: Five Run Away TogetherAnd then it got serious.If memory serves, "Five Run Away Together" is the second book I got in the collection, and probably the second most read. A correlation isn't obvious; it isn't because I had it before most others th...
Five go after some profiteers9 June 2014tWell, this one was a little better than the previous Famous Five adventure that I read, however once again there is a little shift in the nature of the story, which is always a good thing because, since this is book number 18, Blyton no doubt has settled d...
Petualangan keduabelas bagi anak-anak Lima Sekawan. Kali ini mereka menuju daerah Cornwall, sebuah daerah yang mempunyai adat dan kebiasaan yang berbeda dari wilayah Inggris lainnya. Memang, di buku terjemahan tak terasa bedanya, entah di teks aslinya, apakah logat Cornwall dicirikan oleh penulis...
This was one of the first famous Five books I read as a girl, and I've always loved it. I loved particularly how upset George was that Berta made a better boy than she did! For some reason, even though I never dressed or tried to act like a boy, I've always sympathized with George. I was a little...
Unusually for the five, this story begins with George alone having a minor adventure with Timmy. He gets a cut on his ear, and George, determined to get people to stop laughing at him, packs up and decides to camp out for a few days. Soon she is joined by Anne, who while camping at night, sees un...
Satu-satunya buku seri Lima Sekawan yang saya punya. Tadinya pengen beli secara berurutan, tapi terpaksa beli random karena...yah, di Gramedia dulu nggak selalu ada berurutan. Dulu pengen koleksi, tapi belum kesampaian karena uang jajan nggak cukup. Hiks. Sekarang pas udah punya duit sendiri untu...
Cerita diawali oleh George yang merajuk pada orangtuanya untuk ikut sepupu-sepupunya berkelana dengan karavan ke dekat puri Faynights. George tak bisa mengikuti saudara-saudaranya sedari awal dikarenakan dirinya sakit, sungguh liburan paskah yang mengecewakan untuk George. Untungnya, ia sembuh te...
Seperti biasa, novel karya Enid Blyton adalah novel yang seru dan membangkitkan selera makan dari para pembaca. Saya percaya, itu tidak hanya terjadi pada saya tapi juga kebanyakan dari pembaca novel Madam Enid yang lainnya.Buku ini termasuk dalam seri Lima Sekawan, seri petualangan dari Julian, ...
The final book in the exciting Famous Five series sees a return of two of the characters from "Five go to Demon's rocks"- that is, Tinker and Mischief the monkey! Looking forward to a nice holiday at Kirrin, the Four children arrive there only to be told Joan, the cook, is ill with Scarlet Fever ...
An adventure involving trains6 August 2012tWell I have just finished the seventh Famous Five book but that means that there is another fourteen to go. Fortunately they generally do not take me all that long to read, though it really also depends on whether I put a lot of effort into actually read...
Darn those meddlesome kids10 June 2012tThis is the first Famous Five book where they do not begin their adventure at, or near, Kirrin Cottage. Neither do Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny make an appearance. In fact, this is the first book where we actually meet the children's mother and father, thoug...
Uncle Quentin experiments with Tidal Energy12 June 2012tThe Famous Five are on holidays again, and this time it is Easter, however I never realised that in England the Easter Holidays last at least a couple of weeks. It doesn't here in Australia, usually being only the Monday and the Friday (and ...
A somewhat dark and scary adventure26 August 2012tI found this one to be a much darker Famous Five adventure than the ones that I have so far read. It seemed that the Five were in a lot more trouble, and facing a lot more danger, than they have had previously. Also, it is the first book that I ac...

I'm going to tear this book a new orifice. My tongue will be in my cheek - this book just seems to be a particularly fine example of Blyton's worst habits. Bear with me. Apologies to Enid Blyton but I've read 30+ of her books and she's been dead 47 years, so I doubt it will worry her.I've read a ...
Enid Blyton’s fiction remains extraordinarily popular. Despite the disdain of literary critics much of her vast output remains in print because, as publishers know, her work sells. I was brought up on the Noddy books, migrated to the Famous Five and then on to the Secret Seven. I never got onto M...
This is the second in the Famous Five series. The book gripped me from the very beginning and I loved the concept of it and it was different from the first book! I still say that Enid is still one of my all time favourite authors to this day! What I love about her novels is that she makes the mys...
Honesty, Bravery, Good wits, and intelligence-to be favorable for an adventure. I got that. The book awakens all the senses, for me. The author really knows how to express his fantasy. I’ve just noticed that it’s always about money! Very unique thought for the author. The famous five always teac...
Secret Doors and Smuggler's Holes11 May 2012tThis is the first of the Famous Five (Freunde Funf in German) books that takes place away from Kirrin Cottage and the surrounding area. Once again it is holidays (and it is Easter, which sort of throws the books out of order since book two was during t...
