Childhood Memories
The first memories I have of my step-mother are of her reading this book to me and my brother when I was 10 years old. We were all captivated by Hal and Roger and their adventures throughout all of the adventure series. Even my father would plead for just one more chapter before bedtime. Although I am now 23 and in medical school, I still own a copy of these books and eagerly await the chance to read them to my children. For those of you reading this review, I recommend Amazon Adventure and all of the Adventure series for you and your children. Hal and Roger remain my favorite childhood characters.

Amazon Adventure
I accidentally ran across this book at the school library. This is one of the best action-adventure books for children that I have read in a long time. I think it would be appropriate to compare it to Indiana Jones. There is action from the start to the finish. This book would appeal to any child from third grade and up. It would be perfect for the boy that doesn't like to read and needs something to sustain interest. I highly recommend this book.

A great adventure book for young readers.
This was the first book I read by Willard Price and I immediately became a fan of his "Adventure" series with Hal and Roger Hunt. I definitely recommend it for young readers. Price's books are both entertaining and chock full of info about wildlife and the regions covered in the different books.

South Sea Adventure
A must read for all teenagers and even adults. Gives a perspective of life, adventure and information, interwoven with intriguing plots and excitement !

excellent
I am 45 years old and read all of Willard Price's books when I was in junior high. I was caught up in each and every one of them! How I helped the boys struggle through each adventure! When my son was in his early teen years, I purchased all of the Price books that I could find for him. I am so excited that Amazon.com can find some of the books for me that I couldn't find years ago!! These books should be mandatory reading for all junior high students - male or (like me) female.

Great for 9-12 year olds
These Willard Price books are addicting to kids in my class...particularly boys. They read one after another until they've read them all. So glad I found a place to order them.

My Book Review On Diving Adventure
Diving Adventure is about two brothers Hal and Roger who collect animals for there father's animal farm on Long Island, NY. In this exiting book Hal and Roger explore the depths of the sea. They visit Undersea City. They deal with a Mako Shark, collect poisonis underwater animals, find a creature that has never been discovered and lot's of other cool stuff.

An excellent adventure book by Willard Price
Diving adventure is an excellent book by Willard Price about two boys, Roger 14 and Hal 19, who go diving in Undersea City 200 feet below the Great Barrier Reef off Australia. Here they explore sea life and find a sunken ship filled with gold - but there is a murderer on the loose who will stop at nothing to get the treasure. Hal and Roger also take a bathyscope down to the Challenger Depth in Mariners Trench, the deepest point in the world, where they encounter marine life never before seen.

This is one of the 14 books in the Adventure series by Willard Price.

30 years later!
I read all of the Willard Price books back in the sixties and had my children read them through the nineties. We still talk about these books though they are off to college. A GREAT way to get even a non-reader interested in books through well written adventures.

Still great for the next generation
I read all Willard Price's books as a kid and now am buying them for my 10 year old son. Lion Adventure is an engrossing book that allows a child to glimpse another lifestyle. The author's love of animals and knowledge of african wildlife shines through. I particularly loved the reference to the offspring of Elsa. This is the kind of book that encourages a lifetime love of nature and our precious animal resources. The edge of the seat pace keeps the kids enthralled and the characters of Hal and Roger are still cool guys. My son was determined to sink himself into his book and emerged just wanting more.

Great book. Couldn't be better!!
About man eating lions! Hal and Roger have to kill, only, the man eating lions!!

A superb, action packed adventure book
The main characters in this book are Hal and Roger Hunt. They are the sons of Mr.Hunt who takes animals alive from all over the world to keep in their zoo, and are on an exciting adventure to capture a man-eating lion. This lion has attacked many people in the past. The Hunts have already killed a female man-eating lioness who was just about to feed her two cubs the meat. Roger decided to keep the two cubs as pets and have to feed them milk every day. They go on exciting adventures and capture many animals.

Cannibal Adventure, The best book ever!
I think that Cannibal Adventure is Willard Price's best book so far. I have read most of his stories and some others but this book stands above the rest.Willard Price has a good imagination, putting Hal and Roger into lots of adventures with animals. I have only one thing to say. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both educational and entertaining
I read and collected all 13 titles of Willard Price's Adventure series when I was a pre-teen. I am 34 now and Hal & Roger, the two heroes in his books, still remain among by dearest friends.

Great series -lots of nostalgia though
Williard Price wrote some fabulous adventure stories featuring Hall and Roger two brothers who are wandering the world finding rare animals for their father John Hunt's animal farm in New York.

The ambience is fairly authentic, comes from the author's travels to 77 countries in early to mid 20th century, may not always be politically correct, but leave that to to the political people, this is a darn good yarn.

Whale adventure is an adventure story that is based in a old-type whaler, a square-rigger (whatever that means) in which whales are hunted without the advantages of modern weaponry. fairly elemental battle between the largest creature and the most cruel one.

The adventure includes being stranded on a harpooned whale's back and the necessity of steering it to reach your ship, a nice ship-wrecked sequence without the glamour and also a sojourn on the modern whalers which can process 48 whales every day.

notwithstanding all his animal stuff, price, i think was an animal lover, in most his books animals have a positive role to play, the villians are mostly human in form, and his understanding of animal behaviour and research is impeccable.

Read this book, with no pre-conceived notions and hopefully this will lead you and your kids into a world of pure reading pleasure, adventure, action, and knowledge gained as a by-product

please read, its a brilliant book!
This is one of many adventures of Hal and Rodger Hunt,they work for thair dad John Hunt on an animal farm where they are sent to many countries to collect live animals, they usualy end up in trouble which adds more excitment to this already brilliant book!
