Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories 24 reviews Garth Nix
Eos, 2006
Can't get enough of the Abhorsen world
+ One Good Book
If this book had only contained "Across the Wall" and "Lightning Bringer" I would have been happy to buy and read it and would have rated it a 5. These two stories are excellent. Anyone who has read Abhorsen most probably will want to read Across the Wall. And excellent addition to the story.

The Abhorsen Trilogy Box Set 23 reviews Garth Nix
Eos, 2005
Familiar yet never cliche
+ The Abhorsen Trilogy + One Of My Favorite Authors
Nix's world is always familiar enough enough to be comfortable but always different enough to feel completely fresh. His style leaves a hint of mystery to his characters and world that carries through the entire trilogy. I bought it becuase a friend told me that it has the most satisfying ending to ...

The Lord of the Rings. 3 Vol. Set 1002 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2003
Lord of the Rings Book Review
+ Amazing trilogy + Great book, great illustrations, great buy!
Hello there,
I am about half-way through the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am loving it. I am amazed at how Tolkien is so descriptive in his writing and puts so much thought to it. The first one-hundred pages are a little rough, but after that it is impossible to put the ...

Wonderful!!!
+ Histories of Middle Earth Tolkien + collected works
I started to read the Silmarillion, and then I read these. I had never liked poetry beforehand, I had actually rather detested it, but I loved the poetry in here. I many respects, I actually prefer these to the Silmarillion because these are longer and more in depth. However, if you don't feel ...
