Overall Quality: |
This is a book about... | ||||
The quest for the famous Sword of Shannara, the only weapon strong enough to defeat the absolute evil menacing the Races of the Earth; Men, the Dwarves and the Elves. | ||||
I especially liked... | ||||
The interaction between the different characters that we come across in the book, as the quest goes deeper and deeper onward. | ||||
I didn't like... | ||||
the way the author sometimes switched scenes suddenly at crucial moments. IT kept the suspense high but was a bit frustrating. | ||||
When I finished this book I wanted to... | ||||
Immediately look for the other books in the Shannara series to understand the history and the future of Shea's earth. | ||||
This book made me feel... | ||||
persuaded that heroic fantasy didn't necessarily have to be all action and fighting to be interesting and on top of it all, that it could written as good literature | ||||
The author of this book... | ||||
is Terry Brooks and it was his first attempt at writing. He has gone on to write at least three other books about the Shannara universe. | ||||
I recommend this book because... | ||||
Its a good beginner for anyone who has never tried reading heroic/quest fantasy before. | ||||
I don't recommend this book because... | ||||
there are some people who can't bear the mention of anything non human. I suggest that these stay away from the genre | ||||
