The Book of Three

Rating:
Summary: This was a GREAT book!
Review: I read this book for the first time about two years ago (when I read it cover to cover in one evening), and I have gone back to it many times. You get really attached to the characters and the plot is really involving. ~The Infamous Sailor K

Summary: The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
Review: This book is great! I highly reccomend it. The names are a little hard to pronounce but they are so interesting. If you read this book then you'll probably have to read the others.

Summary: Well-written and engaging for readers of all ages!
Review: I was first introduced to this series when I was in fourth grade. I have always loved the stories, but even more so now that I have read the Celtic myths from which they were inspired. Lloyd Alexander did a wonderful job!

Summary: A book to read many times
Review: A Welsh elementary school teacher read this to me in 1981. I've reread it every two or three years since, picking up more mythology, more symbolism, more character depth every time. One of the best fantasy series ever written--I prefer it to Tolkein.

Summary: The Best Fantasy EVER!
Review: The Book of Three and the other Prydain Chronicles are wonderful! Taran, assistant pig-keeper at Caer Dallben went through a hard journey meeting lots of new friends: Gurgi (my favourite character), Eilonwy, Doli, Fflewddur Fflam, and the Horned King. I LOVED IT!

Rating:
Summary: Chapter-endings that leave you wanting to read more.
Review: Lloyd starts his hero, Taran's adventures in the very first chapter, and has short interval's between thrilling, edge-of-your-seat events after. Taran and his friends, Gurgi, Ellonwy, Flewddur, and Doli are all wonderfully brave, in their own way, and funny. The bad guys are maybe a little TOO evil, but Lloyd does a great job of making you dislike them, and fear them. This book and the other Prydain Chronicles are great to read to younger children if they have a little patience to sit still and love adventure. The Chronicles are also a can't-put-down book for young adults. Beleive me, I finished The Book of Three in less than four days, I was so ingrossed in it!

Rating:
Summary: Powerful and beautiful writing for all ages
Review: I love the entire Prydain Chronicles as I child and look forward to sharing them with my own children. These were the first books that ever made me cry because of what happened to the characters. Great stuff!

Rating:
Summary: totally awsome
Review: I have read all of Lloyd Alexanders books and loved them all. so much in fact that I named my son Taran Alexander. His books appeal to both young and old. I have also used the book of three as a reading selection in my learning disabilities classes with much success
