Dragon Quest (Fantasy Adventure) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many of the books I read with my son make my spirits slip down into my loafers. Dragon Quest is the exception. Nick Harris's sly, romantic, detailed illustrations warrent the hours it takes to complete the seek and find games. My son points out that, unlike most of these kinds of books, if a character loses a shoe in one illustration, in the next he's wearing either an odd gerrymandered shoe, or a holey sock. There is a consistency of imagination and -- dare I say it? -- vision. Books like this one make excellent presents for 8-10 year olds. Their parents will thank you.

The Wild Road Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up this book expecting it to be sentimental and silly. I was very pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the author uses language beautifully, and has a keen eye for animal behavior. Secondly, the plot and characters are refreshingly original -- while reminiscent of Adams' excellent The Plague Dogs, the book resembles Tailchaser's Song (which I didn't like) rather little, and I'm not sure what the reviewer was thinking who made the connection with Gallico's book. If I have a criticism, it's that the villain ( so far -- I'm not quite done with the book) has a nebulous, confusing quality which makes him less than purely terrifying. Overall, this is an excellent fantasy, very much intended for intelligent adults.
