 A Struggle of Good vs Evil October 18, 2007
I haven't really heard much about this series and bought the book this summer because I loved the cover. Needless to say, I didn't know what to expect when I started this book. Soren, a hatchling, has been kidnapped and taken to a place where evil owls are turning the young into workers and slaves. Soren makes a friend and together they must find a way to escape.
This was a beautiful story with wonderful characters. I love little Digger, whom we meet near the end. This is a struggle of good vs.evil, a story of friendship, and a tale of rising up against those who want to keep you down. Even though this is an animal fantasy with talking animals, the author has kept the owls very real and much about the life of owls in general is learnt along the way. This is a series I must keep reading!
 A Must Read! October 2, 2006
This book is awsome! When i first heard of it I thought it would be stupid, (I mean a book about talking owls, seriously). But when I started reading it, I couldn't close the book even if I wanted to! It is so mysterious and interesting, and just enough violence and evil. But it could be too much violence for children under grade 4.
A Wonderful Book July 17, 2004
Have you craved a marvelous and unique book this summer? Of course you have! You don't want one of those unsatisfying, boring books parents make you read, do you?! Well, The Capture, by Kathryn Lasky is just the book you are looking for! It has adventure, mystery, and magical companionship between four owls (Soren, Gylfe, Twilight, and Digger). However, watch out for St. Aggies! They mean trouble! In there you most likely are either moon blinked or moon stunned and your jobs are cricket catching to pellet dissecting. What are flecks? St. Aggies treasures them! Is Kludd evil? We'll find out! From the beginning to the end of this amazing book you'll find remarkable entertainment.
Awesome ((read all except shattering)) July 16, 2004
It is one of my favorites from the whole series. You must read them all in order or else you'll totaly miss out.
first book of an enchanting series July 16, 2004
The Capture is the first book in Kathryn Lasky's Guardians of Ga'hoole series. I really enjoyed reading this series. The main characters are all owls. The owls have human characteristics including their own society, rules and religions. The story is entertaining and enjoyable to read. Lasky researched owls and their different species and introduces alot of facts into her story. With that said, it is still exiting and full of action. I would recomend this book for older children as there are some areas such as brain washing that may be intence for younger readers. I would also recomend this series to adults who want to read an imaginative work.
