The Two Towers

BOOK REVIEW

The Two Towers

J. R. R. Tolkien

10/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Two Towers is the second book of the The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which is one of the greatest fantasy trilogies ever written.

I can highly recommend this book to everybody, who loves epic high fantasy. This book is very good and the story is fascinating.

The Fellowship of the Ring

BOOK REVIEW

The Fellowship of the Ring

J. R. R. Tolkien

10/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Fellowship of the Ring is the first book of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

If you call yourself a fantasy fan and you haven't read this book, you should be ashamed yourself! The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the greatest fantasy books ever and everybody should read it.

I can highly recommend this book to all fantasy fans.

Twilight

BOOK REVIEW

Twilight

Stephenie Meyer

1/10Written Oct 23, 2007Edited Oct 23, 2007

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight is a nice little book, which is written for young adults.

I didn't enjoy this book very much, but it was readable. It wasn't bad, but I've read much better horror and dark fantasy books.

If you want to read better and more interesting horror and dark fantasy books, I can highly recommend The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice. They're excellent books.

The Scrolls of the Ancients

BOOK REVIEW

The Scrolls of the Ancients

Robert Newcomb

6/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Scrolls of the Ancients is the third book of The Chronicles of Blood and Stone.

I liked this book very much. It was entertaining and interesting.

If you enjoyed reading the two previous books (The Fifth Sorceress and The Gates of Dawn), you should read this book. You'll love it! :)

The Gates of Dawn

BOOK REVIEW

The Gates of Dawn

Robert Newcomb

6/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Gates of Dawn is the second book of The Chronicles of Blood and Stone. The Gates of Dawn continues the epic story which began in The Fifth Sorceress.

In my opinion The Gates of Dawn is a very entertaining fantasy book. I can recommend this book to all fantasy fans, who enjoy reading good high fantasy.

A March into Darkness

BOOK REVIEW

A March into Darkness

Robert Newcomb

6/10Written Oct 23, 2007

A March into Darkness is the second book of The Destinies of Blood and Stone.

I've enjoyed reading all the previous books of this series and I can say that this book is as entertaining as them. It's nice that Robert Newcomb has managed to write another interesting book.

If you like Robert Newcomb's books, I can highly recommend this book to you.

The Younger Gods

BOOK REVIEW

The Younger Gods

David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

2/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Younger Gods is the fourth book of The Dreamers series.

I can honestly say that The Dreamers is one of the worst fantasy series ever. It wasn't easy to read this series, because all the books were bad, but somehow I managed to read them. This final book is also bad.

If you think of reading this book, please, think twice. This book (and the whole series) isn't worth reading.

Crystal Gorge

BOOK REVIEW

Crystal Gorge

David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

2/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Crystal Gorge is the third book of The Dreamers series.

In my opinion David and Leigh Eddings should've thought twice before they began to write this series. All the previous books have been bad and this book is also bad.

I can't recommend this book to anybody.

The Treasured One

BOOK REVIEW

The Treasured One

David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

2/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Treasured One is the second book of The Dreamers series.

To be honest I don't how I managed to read this book. In my opinion The Treasured One is just as bad as the first book.

Please, don't even think about reading this book. I can guarantee that you'll be disappointed. This book is bad!

The Elder Gods

BOOK REVIEW

The Elder Gods

David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

2/10Written Oct 23, 2007Edited Oct 23, 2007

The Elder Gods is the first book of The Dreamers series.

Hmm... What could I say about this book? Well, perhaps I could say that it's definitely one of the worst fantasy books I've ever read. It's been a long time since I've read anything as bad as this.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy this book. It's not worth reading.

Savage Messiah

BOOK REVIEW

Savage Messiah

Robert Newcomb

6/10Written Oct 23, 2007

Savage Messiah is the first book of The Destinies of Blood and Stone.

Savage Messiah is as good and interesting as the previous three books (The Chronicles of Blood and Stone: The Fifth Sorceress, The Gates of Dawn and The Scrolls of the Ancients). I enjoyed reading it.

If you liked the first three books, you should read this book.

The Children of Húrin

BOOK REVIEW

The Children of Húrin

Christopher Tolkien, J. R. R. Tolkien

8/10Written Oct 23, 2007

The Children of Hurin is a fantastic book, which can be recommended to all Tolkien fans.

I enjoyed reading The Children of Hurin and I liked the illustrations by Alan Lee. They were beautiful.

If you enjoyed reading The Unfinished Tales and The Silmarillion, you should read this book. You'll love it.
