The Chronicles of Prydain is definite for very young adults. I would say that it isn't exactly that well written, an odd story where a pig is the co hero of the story. This book wouldn't sell in today Marketplace but the story was writting in 1968 I believe. If you want a wholesome fantasy story for...
I finished this book because a friend of mine insisted on my reading it. Honestly I probably would have liked it better when I was younger. There's little explanation and the characters names and places are kind of hard to keep up with when they're all thrown at you at once. But I pretty much expec...
3.5 starsI believe wholeheartedly that C.S.Lewis got it right when he said that a book not worth reading as an adult should not be read when a child.

This series is the series that started my love affair with books.I was always a reader, but not until this series did I truly fall in love. It was my first and fondest love. I thank Mr. Alexander, may he rest in blessed peace, for the inspiration this series has had on my life. I was first introduce...
When I was a kid, someone gave me a copy of The Book of Three, and even though I was transfixed by the cover, I never actually read the damn thing. Honestly, I didn't read much as a kid at all. As I've just recently started to get really into fantasy, I can't help but wonder what would have happened...
