 This fell short July 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book seemed to fall short for my 13-year-old granddaughter. She is an avid fan of Erin Hunter's Warrior series', and has read them all. She really looked forward to the beginning of this series, but said she "just didn't get into it". Perhaps because she's so interested in the Warriors books, she's not able to make the jump from cats to bears.
A promising start... June 15, 2008

Erin Hunter has done it again.
I am a huge fan of her Warriors series, pre-ordering most of them, etc. She (or they!) is an exceptional writer. I had high hopes for her new series, Seekers, though I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to read the first book.
Many people who have read this book note the losses and the pain of the main characters. I agree, the losses are intense and can be a bit harsh, but they are balanced out by the excitement that they bring. I turned the pages eagerly as I read, drinking in the emotions and fear.
This book was not up-to-par with Warriors. I could not relate to many of the bears, the storyline was not as fantastic, and the author(s) is apparently so used to writing about cats that she makes a few mistakes, such as when one of the bears gets angry, it "bristles" as cats do (this made me laugh); as far as I know, bears don't really bristle. But she had obviously researched bears decently, and the book, for the most part, was very well-written.
If you are a fan of the Warriors series, I recommend this book and applaud Erin Hunter on her new idea. "The Quest Begins" marks a very promising start, and let's hope that she can keep it up!

Erin Hunter has stolen my heart. I can't wait for her to put another book out. I love the Warrior Cats Series, all of them, and now she has me hooked on The Bears in Quest. Being a cat owner I can really get into the Cat books, and being a lover of all animals the Quest series shows that it too will be another great, great read. Long may Erin Hunter put pen to paper and engross us in the lives of animals.

Seekers is an amazing and captivating book. My daughter found it to be a very heart warming and touching life journey story about the lives of three very different bear cubs,who struggle to survive in the wilderness alone. She could not tear away from reading the book even though she was sleepy! She just can't wait to read the sequel. The book was great!

Okay, so my friend bought this book and read it, then let me borrow it. I finished it in a few days and decided this:
Erin Hunter's works have really gone down hill....
I thought it was great how Hunter showed us the reality of what wild bears are currently going through due to mankind's disregard to the environment, but the way she shot down characters one by one, that whole Ujurak thing...it makes very little sense. My friend and I both decided we aren't going to bother with the rest of the series, to be honest. It was well written and all, but I just couldn't get in to it..it wasn't gripping enough I guess.
Warriors still takes the cake..and I don't even LIKE cats.
