Adventures of Timmy sounds very interesting and thrilling. It gives liveliness to the plot. Great review.

I started reading this book today and almost stopped until I read this review.
The book seemed bland and juvenile but now I that I comprehend the circumstances of the doctors life and
I got a better understanding of what was going on with Timmy and his father.
I'm really interested in finishing the book. And I am excited to be able to post my own review and discuss with others our opinion. Thank you!!

The book sounds captivating. I love the courageous aspect of the story. How Timmy battles with fears in order to get to his father, Dr. Barnes. I love the story line. Great review.

How interesting that Timmy's father would have already thought far enough ahead to place friends strategically around Timmy- for the times that his father would not be there. Thank you for your review!

This really is a testament to the old saying "don't judge a book by its cover" because I never would have thought to pick this book up. Your review has me interested in Timmy's new friends though and I just may give it a read. Great review!

Post by Amanda Deck »

Sounds rather horrifying for tiny kids but for those ready for an adventure, especially one where the kid has to be the one 'taking care of business', this sounds just right. I'm glad he has friends helping and protecting him, he was so lonely and terrified being apart from his dad. And toys coming to life? That's just what kids love to dream will happen - unless they've seen certain horror movies!
The sample is from the point of view of someone talking to a child. Did that continue throughout the book, someone telling a child the story of what happened to Timmy and his dad?

Your thoughts have intrigued my interest. I would normally pass this by but am going to put this on my want list, just to read something different. I think that this story has a unique and unyielding element to it that I would not have picked up on by just reading the sample. I like how every encounter involves change and growth. Thank you!

The cover of this book is very cute. But I wouldn't have chosen to read this book based on it and would have missed an incredible book. So I'm grateful for your lovely review. I really want to know whether the father and son find each other. So, thank you!

This evening i got Bear Company (Dark Corps Book 1) for my Kindle. Id like to say thank you to the Author for having it as a free book.

I loved the front cover of the book and it got me thinking about what Bear Company might be for. So i started to read the book to find out.

I read the first chapter and thought am i going to like this book? I wasn't sure whether or not i was going to want to continue reading but i thought well I've started it now so i may as well finish it. Turns out i really got into the book and didn't put it down till I'd read it all.

I had so many questions as i was reading the book that i had to find out what happened next.

Will Dr Barnes do what the Agents want him to do? Will his invention work? Will the Dark take over the World? Will Bear Company get Timmy to safety? Will Timmy see his Dad again?

Now that ive read the book i really want to know what happens next!

Sounds like an adventurous sci-fi genre book full of fun elements. Bear Company (Dark Corps) (Volume 1) by Cameron Alexander looks like an interesting novel to read. This one is on my list.

A fantasy book that chronicles the adventures of Timmy as he fights with his new found friends to get to Dr. Barnes. A story about love, friendship, and family. Sounds a captivating read for kids! Got my copy even though I am not a kid anymore!😁 Thank you for the great review!

Sounds like a cute book, and reminds me of the premise of the movie "Bolt" but with teddy bears instead of a dog. It would have been helpful for the reviewer to give the appropriate age range for this book in the review. I'm wondering if it would be good for my first grader to read, or if it would be too scary or advanced for her at this point.

A lovely and brilliantly summarised review about a book that sounds worth reading, even if you are an adult. Timmy's determination and courage to help with father, with his faithful bear friends sounds enthralling and is the sort of book that can also be read to your child as well. Science Fiction like this was one of the things that got me interested in reading when I was a child so I am sure that this book is perfect to buy for your children. It may even inspire a young girl to read as well as to cultivate an interest in science. The review is nice and I like the sound of this book.
