Book Reviews of Lucinda's Secret (Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 3)
Book Review: A James Horner admirier....
Summary: 1 Stars
Being a composer myself, I've always done my best to not be too hard when it comes to comparing a composer's scores. Simply because each composer has his own style and own kind of magic...and there is only so much of it. So there are times where two or maybe even more of their scores sound very similiar. Quite honestly, there is nothing wrong with scores sounding similiar with each other....however when a score is practically a copy of others..that's where problems show up.
The action music was no more than monotonous and repetitive and one of the themes in there was 'Casper's Lullaby' save for two notes which were simply flipped around.Yes, I sensed what Mr. Horner was trying to capture..but it lacked the originality. The uniqueness...
Book Review: Vivid- Not Your Typical Fantasy Music Score
Summary: 5 Stars
All Fantasy Scores for a movie sound alike to me for some reason. They all have those moments where the score rises and then lowers and so fourth. But, some stand out like this soundtrack. I'm a big fan of James Horner and I must say that he has done it again! Some moments of this score are loud and full of action, but some are quiet and relaxing. James uses winds and brass to his advantage. He definitely knows what he's doing since you hear all of the wonder that these kids will be experience as they look into the hidden world of faeries all about them. The music is perfect for burning onto your Ipod and sitting down and reading a book or writing a short little story. This is the type of score that can help you think; paint pictures in your head and let you concentrate. Some personal favorites of mine are * Thimbletack and the Goblins* *Closing Credits* and *Discovering Spiderwick's Secret Workshop*.
1. Writing the Chronicles 5/5
2. So Many New Worlds Revealed 4/5
3. Thimbletack And the Goblins 5/5
4. Hogsqueal's Warning Of a Bargain With Mulgarath 4/5
5. Discovering Spiderwick's Secret Workshop 5/5
6. Dark Armies From the Forest Attack 4/5
7. Burning the Book 4/5
8. A Desperate Run Through the Tunnels 5/5
9. Lucinda's Story 5/5
10. The Flight Of the Griffin 5/5
11. Escape From the Glade 5/5
12. Protective Circle Is Broken 4/5
13. Jared And Mulgarath Fight For the Chronicles 4/5
14. Coming Home 5/5
15. Closing Credtis 5/5
Excellent Score ! Recommended :D
Overall Grade* B+

Book Review: Good but short
Summary: 3 Stars
My comments for Lucinda's Secret, volume three of the Spiderwick Chronicles are the same as the first two volumes: the stories are well written, with excellent illustrations, but each volume on its own is much too short. The series really would work better as a single book.Book Review: amazing - as usual....
Summary: 5 Stars
just grab your headphones - plug them in your stereo - and relax....
James Horner is taking care of the rest
The soundtrack exceed the movie itself!
amazing.....
