I love satire so this book was perfect from the first words. I liked the main character and laughed out loud at some of the situations Matthew put him into. The ending was a great take on the whole "apocalypse and revelation" bible story; I did not see the whole ending coming - and I loved that!

Yay for ranger!

I read this first many years ago when it was originally published and really enjoyed it. As like it's predecessor, the Sword of Shannara, it has similiarities to Tolkien...but many fantasy books do. I really wanted to read about things these books were giving me and very much enjoyed them. Decades later, I have decided to finish reading the Terry Brooks books...but in story order. That left me needing to re-read this book. (and I wanted to do that since it will be on MTV soon as the Chronicles of Shannara). What did I find? A well written book with the same overbearing Druid Allonon finding a young Omsford and sending him on a hopeless mission. I found Amberlee again, and Crispin (the scene on the bridge, that has been etched into my memory) and I found I didn't remember much of the rest of the book. Ultimately, Wil and Amberlee are bound together on a near hopeless quest to find the bloodfire and save the world against the demons. Through it all, they must face many dangers, and overcome internal and external obsticles until they find themselves in the Witches valley - from which no one ever returns. Throughout the book, I realized that I really enjoyed listening to the novel and was reminded just why I liked the book in the first place. I have no problem staying with my original 5 star score.

My friend the genetic councelor recommended this book. I beleive it was a reading selection for one of her classes. It was very interesting, quite moving, but somewhat predictable.

A great book for getting a glimpse of what the war was like for the American troops, which increased my general understanding of the course of the post-Normandy war in Europe as well. Extensively researched, the book draws on thousands of personal accounts, diaries, letters, and oral histories from men on both sides of the war. It was packed with moments and anecdotes so amazing I simply had to repeat them to my poor unsuspecting friends. The reader is good for this particular book, with creditable accents for the various regions the GIs came from, German and British accounts, and even a fair Patton impersonation.
