Write Up About Books The Forgotten Door

Sometimes when I'm reading or watching a great movie, I get sucked into the story and when it's over and I come up for air, it's as if the world had stopped those hours spent enjoying myself. This is how I felt the first time I read the Forgotten Door. I was drawn into the story. It felt as if I had been surrounded by silk, as if in a web, but I was comfortable. It was quiet. The Forgotten Door had an impact on me as far as justice and family loyalty is concerned. It was almost surreal. I even

This book spoke to my inner longings and spirit of adventure the first time I read it as a child. I've re-read many times since.

I finally read this! Seeing the 1965 copyright, this is clearly one of the early versions of a science fiction trope that's become almost a cliche -- not just the prejudiced rural folk (that goes back to AT LEAST 1951's 'Superman versus the Mole Men' and is inherent in the 1930s's Frankenstein movies) but the Cold War exhaustion and the idea that intelligence aspects of the government are essentially evil. (This is four years after Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" speech.) It reminded

I remember buying this book from the ARROW Book Club flyer when I was in elementary school. I think it cost 35-cents for the paperback back then. When this became available for 99-cents for my Kindle, I could not resist. How fun to revisit this story so many years later. I remember all the feelings of intrigue and foreboding that this book evoked. It was a great feeling of nostalgia to read it again.

This is absolutely my favorite book from childhood! I still have my copy from 4th grade. As my children grew, they read it and loved it, too. It is somewhat of a family treasure and must be returned to the shelf each time it is put down for a break. The Forgotten Door is Science Fiction for children as it should be written. Key doesn't dismiss the struggle between good and evil and he openly addresses the problems that attend forming opinions without knowledge and judging someone negatively

Wow!!!! This is an extraordinarily valuable tableau of what is wrong with human mentality, exemplifying a much better way we should and can live. Alexander Key starts with valuing all life equally, as my heart has taught me to do. This book is far more profound than the science fiction cover indicates. Enriching lessons are complemented by a fun, original, adventure that is forever memorable. I did not know he wrote Escape To Witch Mountain! I felt exultant after watching it as a child and

I've been meaning to read this for decades. Now that I have, I wish I had read it sooner.
