Review by H. Brown for 100 Classic Books

I bought this “game” yesterday for my 12 year old son. I don’t feel I am able to review this with complete accuracy, as I havn’t used it yet and can’t attest to user friendliness. However, my son was up past midnight last night reading “The Wizard of Oz” and any device that can do that gets five stars in my book. As I am the first review, I will list the books followed by Author. I will admit there are a few here I haven’t heard of, but what a steal at 20 bucks!

Little Women-Alcott; Emma, Pride and Predjudice-Austen; Wizard of Oz-Baum; Lorna Doone-Blackmore; Jane Eyre-C.Bronte; Wuthering Heights-E Bronte;Little Lord Fountlery,The Secret Garden-Burnett; Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass-Carroll; Don Quixote-Cervantes; The Man Who Was Thursday, The Napolen of Notting Hill-Chesterson; The Awakening-Chopin; The Moonston, Woman in White-Collins; Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim-Conrad; The Deerslayer, The Last of the Mohicans-Cooper; The Red Badge of Courage-Crane; Molly Flanders, Robinson Carusoe-Defoe; Bleak House, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities-Dickens; The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment-Dostoyevsky; Sherlock Holmes, Hound of Baskervilles-Doyle; The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man in the Iron Mask-Dumas; Middlemarch, Silas Marner-Eliot; The Diary of A Nobody-Grossmith; Allan Quatermain, King Solomon’s Mines-Haggard; Far From the Maddening Crowd, Tess of the D’Urbervilles-Hardy; The Scarlet Letter, Tanglewood Tales, A Wonder-Book-Hawthorne; The Four Million-O’Henry; The Odyssey-Homer; The Prisoner of Zender-Hope; The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Miserables-Hugo; The Scketch Book-Irving; The Aspern Papers,The Turn of the Screw-James; The Jungle Book, Kim, The Man Who Would Be King-Kipling; The Phantom of the Opera-Leroux; The Call of the Wild, White Fang-London; The Princess and the Curdie, The Princess and the Goblin-Macdonald; The Prince-Machiavelli;Moby Dick-Melville; Utopia-More;Rights of Man-Paine; Tales of Mystery and Imagination-Poe; Ivanhoe, Waverly-Scott; Black Beauty-Sewell; king Lear, MacBeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, The Moor Of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of The Shrew, The Tempest-Shakespeare; Frankenstein-Shelley; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped-Stevenson; Dracula-Bram Stoker, Uncle Tom’s Cabin-Stowe; Gulliver’s Travels-Swift; Vanity Fair-Thackery; Walden-Thoreau; Anna Karenina, War and Peace-Tolstoy; Barchester Towers-Trollope; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee-Twain; Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-Verne; The Time Machine-Wells; The Age of Innocence-Wharton, The Improtance of Being Ernest, The Picture of Dorian Gray-Wilde. I hope this helps!

I saw this on the computer a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait for it to come out. My original plan was to buy the DS XL to have more reading area, but my DS Lite shows them just fine until I can afford the upgrade. I wish I could read more than 3-4 sentences at a time on my small screen before turning the “page.” It’s very user friendly. There’s even a quiz to help you pick the age group, genre, author gender, time when it was written, and other criteria that you want. At the end the cute little owl on the screen suggests a book. The bookshelf is very nice, and there are plenty of ways to maneuver around the bookshelf, the menu, and the books themselves.

My only problem so far is that if you’re reading, say, The Wizard of Oz, and want to start The Odyssey, it informs you that the bookmark in The Wizard of Oz will be lost. I like to read more than one book at a time, so that isn’t good for me. However, I can read summaries of other books without losing my bookmark. The second time I turned on my DS, the first screen the game showed was, “would you like to continue from page 28 in The Wizard of Oz?” and yes or no, which is a great alternative to going through the menu to the bookmarked book. As the other reviewer stated, it’s quite a steal at 20 bucks!

This “title” — can’t call it a game — is fantastic if you love classic literature and already own a Nintendo DS. While I wouldn’t recommend purchasing a DS just for this title, it’s great if you have one but not a Kindle, netbook, or IPad. With “100 Classic Books” I can take these books everywhere in my purse or pocket without buying additional expensive hardware.

The complete list of books on the cartridge is available at [...] and you can download ten more free. The settings menu allows you to adjust the font size to small or large (I prefer small, even on the DS Lite), and a wonderful feature is the ability to have ambient music or sounds while you’re reading. Sounds can of course be completely turned off, but listening to the ocean while reading “Moby Dick” would be just plain awesome! Other ambient sounds are a park, a forest, a summer night, a babbling stream, riding on a train, and more.

Turning “pages” with the stylus seemed odd at first but I quickly got used to it and was doing it without even thinking after a bit. Overall, I highly recommend this title and hope many more books are available for the DS this way.

My 9-yr old daughter was looking to buy another DS game for the Summer when she saw this “100 Classic Books” and wanted it immediately. Ever since our purchase, every time I look in on her she is quietly reading and enjoying the soothing music in the background. She even turned off the TV! What a great Summer gift for those who sincerely enjoy reading.

My only legitimate concern at this time is the Romance Novels…
