The Book of Three

Rating:
Summary: RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Can anyone say "The Lord of the Rings" but a WHOLE lot more pathetic?!? Well, I can. This book is really just a cheap rip-off of Tolkien's classics with less pages and a sorrier plot. Personally, Alexander DISGUSTS me. I mean, can't you come up with your own dang story?

Summary: Books like this make people want to read more often!
Review: The Book of Three was an awesome tale, filled with every quality a reader is usually looking for. It's even humorous, which I didn't expect by seeing such a graphic cover! If it didn't have the rest of the Prydain Chronicles to go with it, I would have been disappointed just to stop reading it! Really! It truly is the kind of book that can make people who don't like reading be eager to pick up a book (especially a book by Lloyd Alexander).

Summary: One of the best fantasy series I've read.
Review: I first read about Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, Gurgi and all the others when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I loved it then. Now, many (many!) years later, I still find that I can read the series over and over again. It's like visiting old friends. I highly recommend this to people of all ages. As a kid, you get caught up in the battles and adventures, but as an adult, you start to see the meanings behind the stories and it's very inspiring. I only wish the series would go on and on. Read these books!

Summary: Terrific!!!
Review: I just finished this and am now reading the next book, The Black Cauldron, in the series, The Prydain chronicles. It really got the series going. Just a word of advice, don't watch the Disney movie, The Black Cauldron, before you read it, (or afterword either) or you'll get really confused.

Summary: If you like exciting battles read this book
Review: I thought that Lloyd Alexander's book The Book of Three was very good because there were a lot of great battle scenes and duels to the death. Besides the realism and great detail this book has a great cast of characters, including dwarfs, living dead, a hairy creature, and good and evil sorcerers. What really helps to bring this book to life is the great imaginable scenes of castles and wizards on cliffs edge and warm summer meadows with dead bodies and other things spread about them. Besides battle and death though this book includes happy times with great banquets and hard life on a farm. This book is very good although its plot takes a while to develop. I recommend it to those who like books of adventure, battle, betrayal, and good and evil magic. One thing that also makes this such a great book is the evil sorcerers and warlords that use all of their power to overcome the smaller and weaker armies that inhabit the magical land where it all takes place known as Prydain. Although the group, Taran, Flleuder, Gurgey, Ellonwy, Gallyn, and Dolli, is small they seem to have great strength against all of the evil that they may dare go against them or their homes. Teaming together and stop harm from coming to their small home town, Caer Dallben.

Summary: an excellent book for shaping future heroes
Review: If you want your child to develop a sense of the mystical, while at the same time preparing to rule the world (or his or her part of it), and to do so with kindness, courage, and selflessness, then reading this book is a good place to start. Few books I have ever read have had such a vivid impact on the way I live my daily life now as did these chronicles, read when I was in the 5-6 grade.
