Rating: Summary: Powerful:An engaging read! Review: Terry Brooks duplicates the power of Running with the Demon with Knight of the Word, an exceptional modern fantasy that examines the ongoing battle between good and evil. Phenomenal fantasy!
Rating: Summary: Definitely not equal to Running . . . Review: The is the first time that I've seen Brooks stumble. The plot isn't very believable or strong and the whole theme doesn't capture you like Running did. The whole five-year jump is annoying since you want to know what happened during those years. Running was spell-binding and page-turning in its intensity . . . this one just doesn't measure up.
Rating: Summary: A interesting book filled with some adventure and descriptio Review: It exerts the demon in John Ross's life and it also explains the magic that we all have in ourselves. it is a little on the lopside with the adventures but it gives great descriptions of the characters and really shows them in the real world.
Rating: Summary: Started off a bit slow but got a lot better Review: It seemed that some people really did not like this book. I wasn't looking for a book that compared with running with the demon, I was just looking for a story that put the same characters into some interesting plot situations, and it did. Plus it took place in Seattle which is where I live so that was really cool. The demon in this one was pretty cool. It didn't have that sleek, evil personality that the first one had though. This one was just merciless. I'd say if you liked Running, you should pick up this book.
Rating: Summary: A much un needed sequel Review: Running With the Demon was an exellent piece of work, and then there is this. In my opinion, a book as good as Running would only be ruined with a sequel, and it was. Sorry Terry, you just cant add onto everything.
Rating: Summary: This book let him down. Review: TOTAL READING TIME 4HOURS.I have read nearly all of his books and no doubt I will continue to read his work, but this one i found him repeating the same storey line on a number of occasions throughout this novel, which let it down, saying that I will continue to read his writings as I know he will get back to his overwhelming creativity with words and plots again.
Rating: Summary: Come on, Terry. Get with it. Review: This was a disappointing, mediocre book. Having read every book Terry Brooks has written, I found myself knowing how the book would end well before I should. The plot twists are as obvious as a parade down Main Street. Mr. Brooks should stop considering himself a successful writer and go back to basics. Otherwise, his fans can find other authors to read. He needs to be hungry and creative, not complacent and boring.
Rating: Summary: My first Terry Brooks book, definately not my last. Review: Not having read the first book, the characters were all new to me. Brooks put them down very nicely as somewhat misterious people being somewhat lost from their path. With all the flashbacks, odd creatures and well-pictured demons I can't wait for the third part to be published (will there be???)
Rating: Summary: What a disappointment. Review: I enjoyed the first book and was really looking forward to this sequel. But... What a disappointment. The plot was totally predictable so kiss suspense goodbye. And the demons in this book are pussycats. When the main characters are not too stupid to realize that they talking to a demon, they can pretty much blow them away. Brook patronizes us by being repetitive. Don't worry Terry, we can follow this plot.
Rating: Summary: good enough to keep you up all night wondering whats next Review: Very entertaining and gripping,you are constanly wondering who the bad guy is.Just when you think you've figured it out a new wrinkle makes you go "hhhhmmmm" The plot line seems kind of simple, good guy falls from grace and turns his back on serving good and is almost tricked by the bad guys into serving them instead,but at the last instant(with a little help from supporting cast)realizes his mistake and redeems himself.It seems kind of simple and yet it will keep you pushing back bedtime to see what happens next.This is a really good read
