Eight Skilled Gentlemen18 reviews
Barry Hughart

Broadway, 1990

A plethora of demons

+ Damn Good Read Kya

"Eight Skilled Gentlemen" is the third book in the 'Master Li and Number Ten Ox' trilogy, and these books should be near the top of everyone's favorite fantasies list. The execrable villain, Sixth Degree Hosteler Tu is on the ...

Lord of the Rings Book Review

+ Amazing trilogy

A thrilling sequal to Eragon!

+ Eldest Review
+ spellbinding

+ Better than the Movie
+ well i liked it...

I watched the movie version [on HBO multiple times] of this book for almost a year before reading the book. I originally thought the book would follow the ...
