Rating: Summary: Great story, great characters, great book. Review: Taran must save his beloved Prydain from the clutches of The Horned King. However, along the way, he meets delightful characters such as Gurgi, who wants "crunchings and munchings". It all wraps up to be an adventure of stregnth, courage, and bravery and the final battle draws nearer. This is one of my favorite books. It combines humor, action, and emmense fiction and you follow the tale on the edge of your seat. READ THIS BOOK.
Rating: Summary: An excellent read and journey for young and old. Review: I first read this book when I was in the 6th grade. Even then I read the whole series multiple times. Now I'm a father and getting books for my child to read and this is one that tops the list (along with "A House With A Clock In It's Walls"). I'm going to get the whole series for him, read them first myself and then read them to him. Great story for young / old / girl / boy.
Rating: Summary: Absolutley the BEST!!! Review: I NEVER write reviews or comments online but I had to for this series. This is my absolute favorite series of books of all time. I started reading these when I was 9 years old and I still go back and re-read them every few years and I am 27 now! I would recommend this series to anyone at any age! I just watched the Disney remake of "The Black Cauldron" and it was awful. It is a travesty and does not even come close to doing this series justice. Why did they even bother putting Lloyd's name on it? They changed everything anyway and combined parts of the book and basically just blew it! I was so upset that I am now going to read the stories to my children so that they can see how it really goes.Read this series. It is the best!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: One of the best books I've read Review: The Book of three was an excellent book, with nonstop action!
Rating: Summary: A nicely done tale!!! Review: Lloyd Alexander does an incredible job with this book! He presents everything that fantasy lovers... well... love!! Lots of action, memorable characters, and plenty of exploration and adventure. This is one fantasy classic that you won't want to miss!
Rating: Summary: My favorite first fantasy books! Review: I read and reread The Book of Three and the other Prydain Chronicles every summer when I was younger and just read them again for the 1st time in about 15 years. They are wonderful books! In fact, I named my son after the main character, Taran.
Rating: Summary: Beautiful use of original sources; funny and ! Review: What a great use of the Mabinogion! Welsh legends, humour, excitement--this one's got it all! Much better than Tolkien..
Rating: Summary: I thought that The Book OF Three was a wonderful book!! Review: The Book Of Three is a wonderful book, especially if you like fantasy or science-fiction books. It is very well written, and the content of the book shows that the author has a very vivid imaganation. Even though the book is a fantasy, it is very plausible, unlike some fantasys which are not at all belivable. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever read and enjoyed a fantasy book, and to those who want to read a good fantasy story.
Rating: Summary: Other then Hobbit, possibly best Fantasy novel you'll read. Review: I am a slow reader who will refuse to read anything other then a GREAT book. And once I was handed this book and I started to read, I read thee INTIRE book Cover to Cover (first time ever doing that). Then I went out and got the others and read them all cover to cover about 1 per night. Lloyd Alexander does a perfect job of writeing the charicters which (if you take it slow and get ever word) will greatly amuse you even if its not sopposed to be funny.
Rating: Summary: Read 'em ALL! Review: Once you read this wonderful book you have to read the rest of them. I think my favorite character is either Gurgi with his "crunchings and munchings" or Fflewddur Flam who "likes to add a little color to the facts every so often". And don't forget "good old Doli!" Once you start your journey into the land of Prydain you cannot stop until you know that all is well with the companions. This book captivated me and I hope it does the same to enerybody else who reads it.Dnsn
