Summary: the youth of america
Review: I feel that the author has used very complex ideas and deep thoughts in his writing technique. he fully describes all the characters, landscapes, and situations. I have been waiting quite some time to read such an interesting novel. i feel that his technique is one-of-a-kind, spectacular, phenomenal! this book should be put in all schools, libraries and bookstores immidiatly. I am expecting a sequel twice as good. i cannot wait.

Summary: Could not even finish it
Review: My apologies to the author, but this book was just not worth it. I got through about 60 pages and just could not go on. If you want good fantasy try George R. R. Martin "Storm of Swords."

Summary: Robert Jordan, look out!
Review: This is the best fantasy novel that I have read since the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series came out. A I am excited for the next part in Whell of Time, I am just as eagerly awaiting the publication of part two of Gem Quest by Gary Wassner. It was clear to me that this novel was outstanding when all I could do was bounce in my seat as I read the book, wanting to know what happens next, but never wanting it to ever end.
The descriptions of the characters, the landscape, emotions, moods, the language and conversations make the reader feel like they are experiencing everything for themselves.
The world created by Gary Wassner is as real as the one that we live in today. The trees, some of the oldest creatures in our world, become a central figure of the world created in Gemquest. The trees hold the world together, but the characters and their lives make the story.
At the onset you can feel the tension between good and evil. You find yourself routing for the good, but wondering what this evil being is going to conjure in order to do his bidding.
The novel takes every aspect of a fantasy novel that a reader can dream of and eloquently and intelligently ties it together to depict a world that could only be imagined. It was near impossible to tear myself away from reading this book, even to get a bite to eat.
I recommend this book to anyone who reads fantasy novels, including those by Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, Terry Brooks, Mercedes Lackey, and the list goes on.
