2 Thumbs Way Up!!!!
I honestly did not think that it was a plagerism of Tolkien but rather a venue to read more about rangers. They fascinate me so and Tolkien gives a lot of insight into their world, but not as much personality. I find these books amazing and wonderful books for children's and adults of all ages and, as a writer, I find nothing wrong with the writing! It's writen for children and so the writing is ...

Outstanding series for young readers and their parents!
I have been reading this series to my four children at bed time. It has captivated their attention as well as mine. We catch ourselves reading up to seven chapters some evenings. John Flannagan does a superior job holding our attention, plunging us into the story to the point that we don't want to put the book down. This is the second book in the series. It is well written. It puts my ...

My 10 year old's review
In Ranger's Apprentice 7, Erak is making a last raid when he is caught and is held for ransom. Will, Halt, Horace, Cassandra, and Gilan must find him and rescue him. There is a fair amount action in this book. This book is only available in the Australian version. Chronologically, this book comes before the 5th and 6th but after the 1-4. He does a good job of putting pressure on characters. ...

Great read for kids of all ages
Like Harry Potter, Ranger's Apprentice is written with kids in mind but is enjoyable by all ages. Kids will find themselves drawn into the story while parents will enjoy knowing their children are learning the values of honesty, friendship, and accountability - or are re-enforcing those attributes. The first story begins with a young 15 year old boy (Will) who is an orphan. He dreams of going ...

Wiley, 2002

User friendly. One textbook you're liable to keep.
Interviewing textbooks are notoriously dry and mechanical. I can count using the fingers of one hand the number of books I have read on the subject that are worth their weight in cotton candy. This work by the Sommers-Flanagan duo represents an excellent addition to the instructional literature on the fine art of interviewing. They use an wonderful blend of humor, humanity, sound advice and ...

Ranger's Apprentice series
What a wonderful series for young people to read. Our hero Will is timeless. A mischievous boy, a typical teen, and a solid young man (that understands he has more to learn.) I don't know of any other series that imparts the lessons of these books. Boys will gravitate to Wills time of apprenticeship, and girls will most definitly identify with the tomboy Princess Cassandra, and courier Alyse. Oh ...
