Rating: Summary: I liked it Review: It doesn't measure up to a Jordan or Edding's book, but it is very well thought out. The characterization is great. He really builds the characters while still having them go through a multitude of adventures. Each character has their own tests and their might be symbolism but I missed it except for one case if there was, and if there wasn't then I guess I have had too many english classes.

Rating: Summary: This a a great book for all fantasy lovers! Review: This book was great! The war to live through the dragon's coming begins as the neighborhood of Chesnut Circle finds themselves transported to a new world by a creature known simply as the Dragon. The rival brother wizards Obar and Nunn, who survived the last coming of the Dragon, quickly try to become alies. With creatures like the Oomgosh, Raven, and the Anno makes this an awesome start to a trilogy. Who should they trust? What are these mysterious Dragon Eyes which give you great power? Find out by reading this awesome book. If you enjoy this book, get the other two: Dragon Waking and Dragon Burning.
Rating: Summary: There Is A Catch To My Rating Review: You see, I have only gotten to the seventy-secondth page. Yet already I can tell you, despite the unflattering review by the critics, that this book has a story line that interests people. Or at least it interested me. There aren't too many details, my mind is already running ahead with possible outcomes (which are most likely going to be wrong . . . ), and the events that happen happen quick and fast. Personally, I think this is a great thing, because you recieve information of the characters background while the action is happening. Or really in between the action. Already I know some family problems among at least half of the Chestnut Circle neighbors, and their are some stories many of you may fuzzily recall from your very early childhood may surface. Such as how the moon, sun, and stars came into being, only (I think) Indian-style. If I knew more, I would tell you about it, but I'm sure that you can read other reviews and find out plenty, maybe even more than you want to. But here is what I do know: The dragon is sleeping beneath the earth, waking only to cause problems, two wizard brothers aren't exactly on friendly terms and are trying to keep the people of the supposedly ruined and/or lost Chestnut Circle neighborhood away from the other, and the characters are everything real people are. Personally I think it's sweet that Nick has a crush on Mary Lou.
