Latest Book Reviews and Comments
In my opinion Sons of the Oak isn't a perfect fantasy book, but if you like to read easy fantasy books, it's a good choice. David Farland isn't a great writer and he can't be compared to George R.R. Martin or Steven Erikson, but he manages to write nice and easy fantasy books. I can recommend this book to all readers, who want to read easy fantasy books.
The Lair of Bones is a readable fantasy book. I have to admit that I expected it to be a bit better, but I liked it anyway. I know that many people don't like this book, but I think that sometimes it's nice to read easy fantasy books. If you like The Runelords saga, The Lair of Bones is an interesting and readable book. However, if you don't like David Farland's books or his writing style, this book isn't for you, because it isn't an unforgettable masterpiece.
Hook is one of those books, which should never have been written. It's amazing that Terry Brooks decided to write it. The original movie by Steven Spielberg was bad and this book isn't any better. I can't recommend this book to anybody. I only read this book, because I like the Shannara books by Terry Brooks.
The Forest House is the second book of the Avalon series. Unfortunately The Forest House isn't as good as The Mists of Avalon. In my opinion The Forest House is readable, but it's not on the same level as The Mists of Avalon. This book was a disappointment. That's why I have to say that if you liked The Mists of Avalon and think that this book is going to be just like it, you'll be disappointed.
The Mists of Avalon is definitely the best retelling of the Arthurian legend I've ever read. This historical fantasy book is in a league of its own. I can highly recommend this book to all fantasy fans. It's very entertaining and well written - in other words, it's a great book. If you like historical fantasy books and haven't read The Mists of Avalon, you should read it as soon as possible. You'll probably like it very much. By the way, the other Avalon books aren't as good as this book.
Dune is a real classic of science fiction literature. Dune is almost like "The Lord of the Rings of science fiction". This first Dune book is an excellent and entertaining science fiction adventure. In my opinion Dune is one of the best science fiction books I've ever read. I can highly recommend this book to all science fiction fans. (It's a shame that the sequels aren't as good as this book.) By the way, if you call yourself a science fiction fan and haven't read Dune, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Voyage of the Fox Rider is an entertaining, interesting and well written fantasy book. Dennis L. McKiernan has written a good story, which is a pleasure to read. In my opinion Voyage of the Fox Rider is one of the best Mithgar books. I enjoyed reading it.
Tales of Mithgar is a collection of short stories, which are set in the world of Mithgar. These short stories are quite fascinating and well written. If you want to read good and entertaining fantasy short stories, I can recommend this book to you. You just have to remember that it's good to read the other Mithgar books first or you won't understand this book.
The Iron Tower Omnibus consists of the first three Mithgar books (The Dark Tide, Shadows of Doom and The Darkest Day). I know that many people think that these three books are based upon The Lord of the Rings and they're almost right about that. If I'm not mistaken, Dennis L. McKiernan wanted to write a sequel to The Lord of the Rings, but he wasn't allowed to do so, so he "re-created" Middle-earth in The Iron Tower trilogy. These first books aren't very good, but the later books are enjoyable and fascinating fantasy books.
The Book of Three is the first book of The Chronicles of Prydain. I love this charming little book. This book was written for children and young adults, but it's suitable for adults too. I think that everybody should read this timeless classic, because it's a good book.
The Elves of Cintra is just as bad as Armageddon's Children. Terry Brooks should've stopped writing about Shannara after The High Druid of Shannara, because this series sucks big time. It's sad that he produces more Shannara books, because these new books are disappointments to all Shannara fans. The Elves of Cintra is without a doubt one of the weakest Shannara books I've read. It's a bit boring and - to be honest - not very good. I can't recommend this book.
All the previous Shannara books have been readable and some of them have been good and enjoyable, but I must say that this book is anything but good. It seems that Terry Brooks doesn't know when to stop writing. If you've enjoyed reading the other Shannara books, you should think twice before you begin to read this book. This book isn't as interesting as the other books.
The Farthest Shore is the third book of the Earthsea saga and the final book of the "original" Earthsea books. In my opinion The Farthest Shore is an excellent fantasy book. It's a timeless classic of fantasy literature and everybody who reads fantasy should read it. The Farthest Shore is a bit different and darker from the previous books, but it's a great book. I think that everybody, who appreciates fine fantasy and good writing, will find this book interesting.
To Green Angel Tower is the third and final book of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. I enjoyed reading this book. It was very entertaining and interesting. By the way, if you buy the paperback version of To Green Angel Tower, you must remember to buy two books (Part 1 and Part 2).
Stone of Farewell is the second book of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. Stone of Farewell is a much better book than The Dragonbone Chair. Tad Williams writes fluently, the story is entertaining and the characters are interesting. I can recommend this book to all fantasy fans.
The Dragonbone Chair is the first book of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. Tad Williams has managed to write an entertaining fantasy story, which can be recommended for all fantasy fans. I know that this book isn't perfect and some things are a bit boring, but it's still a good and interesting fantasy book. By the way, please don't read the translations of this series! They're very bad and annoying.
The Gypsy is an interesting and unique combination of fantasy and thriller. Steven Brust and Megan Lindholm (Robin Hobb) have managed to write an entertaining book, which is totally different from other books. I liked this book. I highly recommend this book to everybody who wants to read something different.
A Feast for Crows is the fourth book of A Song of Ice and Fire. This book isn't quite as good as the three previous books, but it's a great book. As almost everybody knows George R.R. Martin had to split this book into two parts, because if he'd put all the material into this book, it would've been too big to publish. This split is easy to notice, because many important and interesting characters are missing. That's why this book isn't as excellent as the previous books. If you enjoyed reading the three previous books, you should read this book. It's an interesting fantasy book.
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 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 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 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! 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 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. :)
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.
