Rating: Summary: This is one of my favorite books! Review: I've had so many of my friends read the Song of the Lioness Quartet, and everyone has loved it! I think that this series is Tamora Pierce's best, and I would especially recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy or medieval novels. It's a wonderful series, one that can be read many times without getting old!
Rating: Summary: Great for Summer Reading! Review: I read this book over the summer and I couldn't put it down! I am anxious to read the rest of the series. I love the Alanna, Prince Jonathan thing and I think George and Duke Roger are wonderful characters. This book was exciting the whole way through. I only thought that the very beginning was a bit boring. A Great book!
Rating: Summary: This book is great. Tamora Pierce is great! Review: Alanna is a great! She stands up for herself and lets no one push her around. She makes lots of friends (and a few enimies).This book is wonderful and I think everyone should read it!
Rating: Summary: For any girl who has ever felt like a warrior! Review: The story of a young girl who desquises herself as a boy in order to fulfill her dream of become a Knight, this book is a wonderful adventure that can teach you a lot about friendship, determination, and courage. I would reccomend it for any one, especially ages 8-16.
Rating: Summary: THE Weird Sisters say, "The best EVER!" Review: Hi there! We've just discovered this great place to submit reviews, so, here we go...Honestly, Sister 1 stumbled onto this novel four years ago at the local library..and loved it immediately. Sister 2 was finally hooked [after much effort from Sister 1 since Sister 2 was very reluctant to read a book with a character named Thom (she pronounced it with the "th" as in them, so she thought it sounded stupid)]However, we now both love the book and its sequels (except #3)for many reasons. First, Alanna was a great character: witty, pert(that was fun...that was lots of fun^_^), and such a short fuse (shake heads). George was funny! A super element. Sister 2: I liked Jonathan :). He was a good friend. Anywayz, the basic idea behind the story was very appealing (very feminist ^_^)and we totally recommend it!
Rating: Summary: Alanna disguises herself as a boy so she can become a knight Review: She becomes frients with the hier to the throne; but she becomes enemies with the prince's uncle. This book is filled with small action that will make you read it over and over. P.S. I'm not a very good writer.
Rating: Summary: I can't thimk of many books that could be a better buy! Review: What firt compelled me to buy this book was the main characters name, for it is mine, but now that I have read the book I find that I enjoyed it a great deal and this has nothing to do with the main characters name! This book captured my attention at the very beginning and not many books that I have read can do that. It was interesting from the start and that sense of intrigue that i had about what was going to happen next carried on through-out the rest of the story. The one thing about this book is that it leaves virtually all the questions unanswered. I know that the author ties up those lose ends in the rest of the series, but I can't help but feel kind of annoyed. I looked in on the customer reviews for the second book in the series and it sounds quite good, but I noticed that some of the peaple who wrote the reviews kind of told you what happeneds in the story and I find a book alot more interesting if I have know clue about what is going to happen! I had to skip over quite a few reviews, Oh well.
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: I've read all of Tamora's books, and although this isn't her best (Immortals are her best, I think) it's a good introduction to a good quartet. I liked seeing how Alanna had to deal with all her female problems just like any girl in disquise would, and how she deals with her other many problems, such as dealing with bully boys in her school. Even though the Immortals quartet is better and much more satisfying, this is a good book that I would suggest to other people to read.
Rating: Summary: I think this is one of the best books to read! Review: I got given this book when I was 11 years old and I'm 14 now, have read all the other books by this author and still enjoy it tremendously. It's different and enjoyable. Many books written about magical lands are for older readers but this was perfect for my reading level. I think that everyone old and young who hasn't read this book is missing a whole world.
Rating: Summary: THE ABSOLUTE BEST SERIES IN THE UNIVERSE, I LOVE IT!!!!! :) Review: Even if you totally despise fantasy you will adore this series, I'm POSITIVE!!! I read the book in 1 and 1/2 days. Then I was frantic to get the next 3 but of course, with my luck, they were all checked out....... :( I was thinking NO! I was so p.o.ed. Finally my mom took me to the bookstore and I practically ran to the Young Adult section and found In The Hand Of The Goddess and The Woman Who Rides Like A Man. You can't put the books down, seriously, it's like you're under a trance... I LOVE ALANNA AND HER WORLD, THEY RULE!!!!!! Anyone who thinks the same, you're awesome!!!! (I wish there were 1000000 star ratings...)
