The Dark Is Rising was entertaining, but I was a bit disappointed in it. My main issue is that everything just happens to the main character, Will Stanton. He doesn't get a chance to actively make any choices or take any actions independently. Everyone just throws all the solutions to him, including giving him a book to read that infuses his mind with all the answers to his questions. It would have been more satisfying for him to work a little bit to be the hero.
