  • I think it'd be amazing to see Europe in action or any monster battle, really. But I don't think they'd make the movies up to par with the book :P

  • Europe rulez!  I love her best of any Monster Blood Tattoo characters.

  • im getting the third book hells ya!!

  • A movie would be cool but may ruin what I imagin but I would LOVE to see a movie based on each book the fulgar scenes would be lethal.

  • I hope they never make a movie out of this.

  • Yes there is a third book called Factotum. Not to sure bout the ending but I hope Cornish writes another book cause I'm hooked on these books. Seriously the library is surprised when I Don't get one of the three I know of out. Is there a 4th?

  • is there a place wer i can read this online some how book 3 coz i've read book 1 and 2 but i dont hav any library near me with book 3

  • It woudl be cool if they made the movie on all three books... but I think they should make them one at a time so they can include way more in them. Cause if thy do all three at once then there going to have to leave out a ton of stuff!

  • I can't wait for the 3rd book I've been waiting so long^0^

  • Is the movie going to be based on foundling or all three books?

    Hope they make a trilogy of the movies!

  • btw, does Europe remind anybody else of Azula from Avatar?

  • @DuchessAliana yes, yes it does XD

  • I just started reading the first book! Really interesting stuff :)

  • Such an awsome series.

  • I just started reading the foundling but, what does the monster blood tattoo signify...or do i find out later on through the series?

  • @fabeybaby3 You're probably at the part that explains it by now, but tattoos are only gotten in the Half-Continent when you kill a monster, and the only ink is that same monster's blood. Since, according to the books, it takes about 3 average men to take down even the smallest monsters, just being a part of killing a monster is something to boast about, so people wear monster-blood tattoos (cruorpunxis) with pride.

  • IN regards to a monsterblood movie, the following was from a D.M. Cornish website,

    "Finally, Carlita has just got wind of the film deal which I can confirm as true. As of right now there is a director assigned (cannot as yet divulge names, sorry) and a writer, and some significant interest from effects companies. So no still no guarantee that it will be happening, but goodly steps closer to an eventuality."

  • This series is awsome. It's a same that book three got pushed back to September.

  • Spoiler

    Rossamund doesn't get a monster blood tattoo when they first see monsters in this book because he had no hand in kill the herd of monsters he was suppose to be defending the other 5 lamplighters while they reloaded and if he did attack(he had a blinding potive and a potive that sent the hells of fire upon enemies)so if he did attack there would be no monster blood at all...because the blinding one wouldn;t actially kill it and the fire one...well u get the point

  • i've just finished reading the second book! geez i can;t wait fr the third!!!!! its coming out september 20019 :( it's too far away!!!!! i really wish that they'll b a movie made out of this book series. they might. it mentioned a movie on wiki.

  • 20019?

    gee thats a long time... i think ill be dead by then lol.

  • oh no! i'm sry XD i think i'll be dead then too! i ment 2010! lolz

  • LOL =)

  • Personally,I like the older book cover.

  • I LOVE THIS BOOK. I can't believe my library doesn't have the secound book, so I made them put it on order for me. HAHA.

  • i cant wait for the 3rd book!

  • I adore this book series. Every scene had amazing visual detail in my mind's eye, and it just sprung to life.

    Also Cornish has a beautiful and tactful sense of humor.

  • ah, I loved this book :D I want to get the next one

  • Oh wait, one more thought. If they don't make a movie based on MBT, I'm going come to hand strokes with some people. And I'm not talking about the "we're capitalizing on a popular book that we think is kiddish" type movie, which is how they've done it a lot recently. I'm talking about the "We're putting in all we can to make this story shine" like they did with Lord of the Rings. That's right, I went there. This series has the potential to rival with the LORD OF THE RINGS.

  • IAWTC.

  • Since Rossamund is a "rossamundling", would all of his friends be considered sedorners...?

    Anyway, I read both books and I think MBT is the best book series-- nay, the best STORY I've ever seen, in print or cinema. Period. End of story.

  • i like it im at ch4

  • im still reading it ^_^ i hope i get a book report on it right when i finish it cus i already read it so it gonna be easy lol

  • wow i want to go to your school. our book reports are all on hard "insightful" books

  • well on my team(team of grades at school)we dont even have to do book reports at all :)

  • bitch D:

  • what is this

  • is this book like The Black Tatto

  • yea hes a monster , it gives you clues all through the book look how the dogs bark at him and he has super strength ....think about it

  • that trailor was shit, i just finnished the first one today and it was well good. i like how close to our culture it is but yet how far away and unrealistic it is at the same time. altho i draw quite abit and i have to say, im not overly impressed by the illustrations, i rekon the best illustrations are from the Edge chronicles.

  • damn i just finished monster blood tattoo 2 lamplighter tonight. i thought the end was going to answer the questions not give you more. btw is he a monster child if anyone knows? the rossamunderling thing/pink lips?

  • I hate this trailer but adore the books...I got "Lamplighter" the monrning it became available in Canada~<3 I wasn't disapointed!

  • wow... the wierdest thing is i know D.M. Cornish's Mother she was my Year 4 Teacher...

    and btw... for those who are asking Monster-blood Tatto Book 3, Factotum is due out in May 2010

  • @ThisIsSomeRandom october 28th now.

  • the books were AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  • I don't care much for this trailer, but i did love the first book and plan to return and get Lamplighter asap! The books are written very well and the characters are amazing. =)

  • any1 know when the 3rd books coming out? i read the first two within 3 days, i came across this trailer on the internet, and wondered if of u might know when its coming ot, if u do PM me :D

  • it comes out may 2010...thats what i heard...

  • its called factotum... its coming out may 2010

  • Unfortunately it's been pushed back September 2010.

  • Just read book 2. Couldn't put it down.

  • That's "haughty," not "hottie."

    Just sayin'.

  • 'a hottie young girl?' more like 'fiery wit'.

  • Wow, did the books really need a trailer?

  • Great books, lame trailer.

  • I agree.

  • Do you understand that these trailers are made by 13 to 14 year olds from high schols across australia??

  • No, this trailer is actually from the author or publisher. I got an email from an official PR person telling me about it.

  • Oh, soryy, I just made an assumption that they would be made by kids because I just got offered to make a trailer for one of several upcoming books through my school....Haha, I guess I shouldn't jump to conlucsions like that.
