A Storm of Swords

BOOK REVIEW

A Storm of Swords

George R. R. Martin

10/10Written Oct 15, 2007

A Storm of Swords is the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire saga.

It's amazing how good a writer George R.R. Martin is and how much depth he's managed to put into his series. A Storm of Swords is even better and more fascinating than the two previous books. It's almost impossible to describe how good this book is, so all I can say is that it's a unique masterpiece of modern fantasy.

This book is definitely one of the best fantasy books ever written and everybody who likes epic fantasy should read it.

A Clash of Kings

BOOK REVIEW

A Clash of Kings

George R. R. Martin

10/10Written Oct 15, 2007

A Clash of Kings is the second book of the amazing A Song of Ice and Fire saga.

A Clas of Kings continues the story, which began in A Game of Thrones. This book is a masterpiece of modern fantasy. The story becomes more interesting and darker all the time and it's almost impossible to stop reading before you've reached the last page.

If you enjoyed reading A Game of Thrones, you should read this book. I'm sure that you'll love it.

The Blood Knight

BOOK REVIEW

The Blood Knight

Greg Keyes

8/10Written Oct 14, 2007

The Blood Knight is the third book of The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone.

I think that Greg Keyes is one of the few fantasy writers, which can be highly recommended. This book proves that he's in a league of his own.

The Blood Knight is a fascinating and well written fantasy book. Everybody who likes good high fantasy should read this book.

The Charnel Prince

BOOK REVIEW

The Charnel Prince

Greg Keyes

8/10Written Oct 14, 2007

The Charnel Prince is the second book of The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone.

In my opinion The Charnel Prince is just as good and entertaining as The Briar King. I enjoyed this book very much. It was good high fantasy.

If you want to read good fantasy, which has been written for adults, you should read this book. You'll love it.

Guards! Guards!

BOOK REVIEW

Guards! Guards!

Terry Pratchett

8/10Written Oct 14, 2007

Guards! Guards! is the eighth Discworld book and it's definitely one of the best Discworld books.

I enjoyed reading this humorous book. It was very entertaining and fascinating. Terry Pratchett is a master of humorous fantasy.

If you like humorous fantasy, you should read this book as soon as possible.

Hogfather

BOOK REVIEW

Hogfather

Terry Pratchett

10/10Written Oct 14, 2007

Hogfather is definitely one of the funniest Discworld books. This book has everything I've come to expect from Terry Pratchett.

If you like Terry Pratchett's other Discworld books, you should read Hogfather. It's an entertaining and hilarious fantasy book. :)

The Phantom Menace

BOOK REVIEW

The Phantom Menace

Terry Brooks

2/10Written Oct 14, 2007

In my opinion The Phantom Menace is a book, which Terry Brooks should never have written.

The movie (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace) was a bad movie and I didn't like it at all - it was a big disappointment. I honestly don't understand why they had to make a book of it. This book is a bit better than the movie, but not much.

I can't recommend this book. I can only say that you should read other books by Terry Brooks. They're much better and more interesting than this book.

Morgawr

BOOK REVIEW

Morgawr

Terry Brooks

6/10Written Oct 14, 2007Edited Oct 15, 2007

Morgawr is the third book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara.

Morgawr is almost as dark and compelling as Antrax and it's written for adults. Morgawr contains the same science fiction elements, which were introduced in Antrax and they make this book interesting. I liked this book very much.

If you enjoyed reading the two previous books, you should read Morgawr. You should also check out The High Druid of Shannara series (Jarka Ruus, Tanequil and Straken), which Terry Brooks wrote after this series.

Antrax

BOOK REVIEW

Antrax

Terry Brooks

6/10Written Oct 14, 2007

Antrax is the second book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara.

Antrax is an interesting combination of fantasy and science fiction. Terry Brooks uses some science fiction elements to create a different kind of Shannara book and it works quite well.

Antrax is a good book and everybody, who likes Shannara books, should read it.

Ilse Witch

BOOK REVIEW

Ilse Witch

Terry Brooks

6/10Written Oct 14, 2007

Ilse Witch is the first book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara.

Ilse Witch is a bit different kind of Shannara book and it's clearly written for adults.

I enjoyed reading Ilse Witch and found it interesting. This book isn't perfect, but it's worth reading.

The Talismans of Shannara

BOOK REVIEW

The Talismans of Shannara

Terry Brooks

6/10Written Oct 14, 2007

The Talismans of Shannara is the fourth book of The Heritage of Shannara.

The Talismans of Shannara is an entertaining fantasy book. It doesn't have much depth and it's a bit simple, but the story is interesting.

If you liked the previous books, you should read this book.

The Elf Queen of Shannara

BOOK REVIEW

The Elf Queen of Shannara

Terry Brooks

8/10Written Oct 14, 2007Edited Oct 14, 2007

The Elf Queen of Shannara is the third book of The Heritage of Shannara.

In my opinion The Elf Queen of Shannara is one of the most enjoyable Shannara books. It's an entertaining fantasy book. There's not much depth, but that doesn't matter, because this book is good. I liked it.
