Great Adventure series October 6, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I started reading these books at the age of nine or ten and Underwater adventure is one of my favorites - I am now 26 and like the other reviewer, these books did inspire me to explore the natural world - I have had my own (although less exciting) volcano and underwater adventures. I climbed one of the most active volcanoes on the planet, and I have spent many hours learning about the fauna and flora of the coral reef ecosystem and the tropical environment. I recommend the entire range, even though they are a little dated; because not only does one enjoy the stories but one also learns little bits of knowledge about the natural world.

I first read all of the Willard Price novels when I was about 8. At 20 I have now resolved to re-read the entire series and this was the closest to hand when I made that descision. I read it all in one afternoon. I now curse television as I can see it has been responsible for a slow but steady crushing of my adventurous spririt since I first read these books. I shall be setting off on my own arctic adventure this summer, I hope I only to be able to somehow emulate the bravery and cunning demonstrated in these books. I appreciate they are fiction but I think these books are representative of a time gone by where boys had to prove their worthiness by physical and mental endeavor rather than worry about emotions and relationships. I shall be reading the rest of the books with much relish and will be attentive to the wealth of knowledge there to be learnt.
