	Abarat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abarat is a young adult's fiction book both written and illustrated by Clive Barker.

		The lighthouse is the catalyst to bring her to the land of the Abarat.

	Kidsreads.com - ABARAT by Clive Barker
		ABARAT is a vast and colorful fantasy in the tradition of the Oz and Narnia stories.
		Candy is enthralled by Abarat and its citizens, but those she meets think she, as a visitor from the Hereafter, as our world is known, is most exotic.
		Perhaps the pace of ABARAT is so frantic is because it is so clear in Barkers mind: it is obvious he has a whole new mythology he would like to share and he can't get it onto the page fast enough.

	Rambles: Clive Barker, Abarat
		Abarat may be his wildest creation yet, and he brings this striking world to life in both writing and art, as the book is filled with some 100 color illustrations (reportedly drawn over the course of four years).
		Abarat is an archipelago made up of islands, each of which is a different hour of the day.
		Abarat is a book of questions, with answers to be filled in later; its ending is really just the beginning of the whole story.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Abarat
		Clive Barker's Abarat is in many unintended ways a response to the J.K. Rowling books which, in spite of their trivial thematic regurgitations and archetypal clichés, still manage to incite millions of bedazzled readers to read them and then, zinged, reach for something more.
		Arriving in the Abarat, we are engulfed by Barker's hyperbolic visions, a delirious potpourri of flamboyance and circus bizarre.
		Abarat has its fair share of problems, places where the language seems to trip over itself for applause rather than servicing the narrative, or stumbles awkwardly during scene transitions.

	News-In-A-Click
		Candy Quakenbush is inexplicably drawn to the prairies at the border of her hometown one afternoon, and what she encounters there is not what she expected: an ocean, a master thief (or eight), and the islands of the Abarat.
		She finds herself in a world she never dreamed existed, and despite being a newcomer to the islands, Candy soon discovers that she is sought by none other than the much-feared Lord of Midnight, Christopher Carrion.
		Abarat is a book which invites the unexpected and, often, illogical to play more than a minor role, making it comparable to Alice in Wonderland.

	Clive Barker Abarat Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		I'd been hearing about Clive Barker's 'Abarat' so much for so long that I was close to believing that it would never be published.
		'Abarat' is populated with a bizarre menagerie of creatures, many of which are brought to life in illustrations by the author.
		'Abarat' is set to become its own industry, as Disney and Barker wind up for a series, a movie and who knows what else.

	Clive Barker, Abarat
		And then there's the Requiax, the enemies of life, who are "wicked beyond words." While Candy eludes her enemies and rounds up a handful of wonderful friends (including the charming, sweet, and considerably orange geshrat named Malingo), prophecy and revolution swirl about in the briny air.
		Yes, it definitely seems Candy has a bigger purpose in Abarat than she might think, one involving three mysterious, powerful women with an agenda, one that could change the course of one whole, beautiful, magical (let's not forget weird) and terrifying world.
		As each island in the Abarat is one hour of the day, each holds its own character and mystery -- readers can only hold their breath in anticipation of what wonders await as Candy lands on each island.

		Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War is the long awaited second volume of the Abarat Quintet (originally it was planned to become a quartet, but Clive felt that the story needed some more depth and will add an extra volume).
		Abarat is clearly going to turn out to become the Magnus Opus of Clive's career and although it is officially categorized as a children's book this should stop no-one from entering the amazing world of Abarat.
		This is the second book in the Abarat series and it was necessary for me to read the first book in order to understand the second.

		There is absolutely no question that Abarat is an invention to be marveled at, and that the fanciful creatures possess highly unique qualities that are entertaining, but it's simply too much, and there isn't much happening other than a game of bait and chase.
		The Abarat is actually an archipelago of twenty five islands (one for each hour of the day, and another existing outside of time).
		Candy is confident that she has been in the Abarat already and she has feelings of being there.Though her thoughts are still yet vague.

		Candy is an intelligent and likable heroine, and the many supporting characters are deftly drawn, both in words and in the full-color interior art that Barker has produced to give the story an extra dimension.
		Abarat delivers the rich and imaginative storytelling that Barker is known for, with less overt horror or violence than one of his adult novels might include.
		It starts out in Chickentown and takes you to the amazing world of the Abarat, where Candy is swept up in the adventure of her life.

		If the books are successful as Disney hopes they're thinking of doing an entire Abarat land at one of their theme parks.
		I was actually pissed off after discovering the Abarat 2 cardboard display with all the books at THE VERY BACK of a Barns and Noble, right next to the entrance to the restrooms.
		The sad thing about these books, the Abarat will probably always shadow the drab retarded bullshit of the Harry Potter series and be considered as Clive's attempt to cash in on the Potter fans.

		What is unusual is that ''Abarat'' -- the first in a planned four-part series -- ain't for the Goths and geeks; it's for kids.
		A blend of ''Alice in Wonderland'' and ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,'' ''Abarat'' is the story of Candy Quackenbush, a plucky young girl yearning to escape the boring burg of Chickentown.
		Of course, it doesn't take long for Candy to find her way to this crazy Caribbean and make some friends (like the thief John Mischief, the aforementioned antlered fellow), as well as some enemies (like Christopher Carrion, the wizard ruler of the island of midnight, and Rojo Pixler, the greedy overlord of 3 a.m.).

	Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » Abarat
		It’s a young adult novel but not in the alliterative silly-names genre of young adult novels like the early Harry Potter books; Abarat is a great story that happens to be written with young adults in mind like Alice In Wonderland or, dare I say, the later Harry Potter books.
		Abarat was, as I mentioned, written by Clive Barker who is perhaps best known as an author in the horror genre.
		Abarat, though, like Barker’s own Imajica is not a work of horror but is instead a journey through a wholey unique world that Barker created hundreds of abstract-ish paintings in order to illustrate (and to facilitate the novel’s (novels’;?) own creation).

		Candy Quackenbush is transported from her boring home town of Chickentown by a magical wave to the archipelago of Abarat, where each island is a different hour of the day.
		Candy finds she must help save Abarat from dark, treacherous foes older than time itself.
		Clive Barker has never been one stifled by lack of imagination and Abarat is a trip to a realm where his creativity runs wild.
