Summary: Wonderfull TWIST
Review: This was a GREAT BOOK which I would recommend to anyone who Loves to read books by Lloyd Alexander. This book was exciting. It had it: war, treachery, magic, and of course love. This book was not too graphic or gory in its battle scenes and was just right in its magic parts which even included a talking monkey. Of course Lloyd Alexander spiced it up with a surprise ending. I would highly RECOMMEND this book! It is both very funny and very exciting.If you like Lloyd Alexander, this book is definitly for you. If you want to be sitting down for a while, get this book and find somewhere comfy to read because you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: Interesting book.
Review: I thought that -The Iron Ring- was good, almost as good as the author's Prydain series. I enjoyed the mystery throughout the story (such as the concept of maya) and how Alexander added Indian culture (especially dharma) to it. As usual, he mananged to put emotion and pieces of wisdom to it, setting this book far apart from the many 'fluffy,' trashy fanatsy novels that clutter bookshelves these days.There are two things that I didn't like about the book. One is how Tamar fell instantly in love with Mirri at first sight. He fell for her looks, not for her personality (he was merely plain lucky that Mirri turned out to be a strong, energetic young woman that was worth his time). The other topic I was quite disappointed about applies to most of his other books. Alexander tends to take stories and names out of ancient myths and legends and uses them in his own books. For example, the name of Tamar's horse was the same as a milkmaid in the Hindu religion. Or how the monkey king lost his tail. That was like how the monkey king that helped Prince Rama in Hinduism lost his. Just because legends don't have an author and a publisher on them doesn't mean that a writer can merely use them for his or her own works. I think Alexander should use more creativity with certain names and events. Other than that, the book was absorbing and full of twists and turns to it.

Summary: Book Review - The Iron Ring
Review: This book is wonderful. The enchanting story of a young king, bound by honor and on a quest, will have you riveted to your seat. If Tamar can complete his journey, he will regain his kingdom. If he does not, he will lose everything. Can he make it without becoming forever disgraced? Only those who read it will know. With its mystical storyline and endearing, interesting characters, this book is one of Alexander's best works.

Summary: Absolutely Awesome!
Review: This is the best book I have ever read! It may be "too strange" in the opinion of some, but that makes it as interesting as it is. There is no part of this book in which I thought it was actually boring, which is more than I can say for some books. It's EXTREMELY exciting, sweetly romantic, and everything I could ever want to read in a book (and then some). It has influenced me on MY writing, and has made Lloyd Alexander definitely my favorite author.

Summary: The Iron Ring fascinated me.
Review: What a tale! I was spellbound. Each chapter teased me into the next. I could scarcely put the book down until I was finished. This book is also on audiocassettes, narrated with passion and emotion by Ron Keith. (The cassettes also help with the pronunciation of names and terms.) I am eager to read more books by Lloyd Alexander.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Tamar and his adventures are very entertaining. I liked how many of the incidents within this book carry a deeper message. Such as the abolishment of caste in Tamar's mind. Humorus characters like the eagle and the monkies bring light-heartedness, while the battles and fights bring action to this wonderful story.
