Advantages: Excellent plot, believeable characters, great story.
Disadvantages: To a book by Gemmell? Are you serious? ;)

...is one of those books. Dark Moon is up there as one of my very favourite books by this author and in fact one of my favourites ever. This is about the fourth time I have read it and every time I read it I am sucked in to the story and get totally absorbed into the plot. So what makes Dark Moon so good? Read on and you’ll see. Tarantio is a soldier in the army. In fact he’s not sure which duke he is fighting for from one day to the next as he is a ...
...at war over a mysterious dark pearl left when the Eldarin, a highly powerful race, disappeared one day without a trace, well almost. The only thing left was the pearl. Anyhow Duke Sirano of Romark currently has the pearl and is working on releasing it’s magical powers (It was left by a race of sorcerers so it must be magic and powerful right?) Whilst the war wages on. One night they make a breakthrough and as the pearl is broken a great dark moon ... Read review

Advantages: Gripping fantasy story
Disadvantages: You have to be a fan of this genre to enjoy it

...to in the near future. Winter Warriors has a little of everything- fighting, character development, heart-warming moments, and sad moments. The character Bison is a wonderfully gruff man who is in fact very kind-hearted, and several other characters are as deep and interesting as this too. It's a good read, not too long and contains just the right amount of detail, but as with many books, you really need to be a fan of the genre to appreciate it ... Read review

Advantages: What A BOOK!
Disadvantages: The introduction is a little draggy

Eragon is a masterpeice - A tale Paulini should be incredibly proud of. Not only because it has spun to the forefront of the fantasy world, but because it is, in my opinion, better than most books written. Move over, Potter. Move over... Everyone, make room for this debutante author. Paolini has not only established himself as a yarn-spinner, he has done it in style, with fireworks and such... If you don't believe me, then read for yourself! Then, ...
...fan of any book can recognise what a good read this is. I'm off for another read... I can't wait until the third one is out. If you would like more details about Eragon and the rest of the Inheritance trilogy, visit www.alagaesia.com buy the book.... ... Read review

Advantages: Great
Disadvantages: ...Perhaps TOO great...

...spellbinding last installment to the Harry Potter series that has left the world breathless, satisfied and in mourning - because there will be no more Potter books to come. If you haven't read this book I'm not giving anything away but the shock-thrill end keeps readers on their toes. This book is something special. Also, in this book it really is noticeable that the Harry Potter books have increased in reading age to keep aligned with the target ... Read review

Advantages: The movies made from the books are awesome
Disadvantages: The books are utterly boring

...to write could well be the last words i write because after this I'll probably have to go into hiding. But i thought the lord of the rings trilogy are the most boring books i've EVER read. Okay yeah the concept is great and the movies are probably my favourite movies of all time but the books where so dull i just couldn't finish reading them. I forced myself to finish the fellowship of the ring and I got half way through the two towers and I thought ...
...myself. Give me the films over the books anyday, the movies cut out all the dross and string of bad characters. Seriously guys save yourself hours and hours of talk about landscape and green hills and pretty flowers and silly songs just watch the movies and enjoy it dont touch the books they're no good. ...
