 Good music, bad sound quality. Sep 21, 2008
I've never been a big fan of Simon Rhodes as a recording engineer, and this score suffers from some bad mixing. It could've used a little more sharpness. As it is, it sounds flat. Other than that, the music is decent, though the blaring rip-off of "Casper's Lullaby" in some of the tracks is distracting.
 Much better than Golden Compass! Aug 17, 2008
I found that movie to be very good. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. lot of action and it keeps moving along for the length of the movie.
 Same old Horner Re-Hash Jul 21, 2008
Don't get me wrong, this music is beautiful, Horneresque, but sadly its the same Horner we have heard many times rehashing his old stuff trying to give it a new sound. He really didnt even try on this one. I was hoping for something new and inspired but didn't get it. Loved the movie anyway though.
Charming Jul 16, 2008
There's been nothing but trouble for the Grace children (Jared, Simon, and Mallory) since they found the book "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You". More than one monster wants the Guide and Simon and Mallory are eager to destroy it, but Jared isn't so sure that's a good idea, so they go to their Great Aunt Lucinda to see what she can tell them about the Guide. Lucinda will tell them some of her secrets and they will discover even more as they try to solve the mystery of the Field Guide.
"Lucinda's Secret" is the third book (of five) in "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and picks up where the first two The Field Guide (The Spiderwick Chronicles) and The Seeing Stone (The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 2) left off. Authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black have already filled the books with magical creatures such as goblins, griffins, trolls, and boggarts and add even more in this book - fairies, elves, ogres, a unicorn, and more. Not all of these characters are benevolent and there is a delicious underlying sense of danger throughout the book and series. Some of the best creatures in this book include the unicorn, the shape shifting and cryptic speaking Phooka, the fairies, and the elves. The three children continue to grow as characters throughout the series, especially Jared who is maturing as the adventures continue. The addition of Lucinda in the book adds much to the story as she can explain at least some of what is going on, although her character isn't in the book nearly enough.
Since "Lucinda's Secret" is the third book in the series, it sometimes feels a bit like filler with only a little plot development. Still, it is a charming book in a charming series.

More secrets revealed Apr 08, 2008
In Lucinda's Secret the Grace kids get to meet their great-aunt Lucinda, who used to live at the Spiderwick estate, and they find out why she is an asylum. Its not hard to guess, but the fun just blasts off from there. This chapter of the Spiderwick Chronicles really ramps up the tension and introduces more fantastic creatures such as a phooka, elves, and little faeries whose food you should avoid. If you've come this far don't miss this third installment of the Spiderwick Chronicles!
