This was my absolute favorite movie when I was a wee one, and I know several people who love this book. That said, reading this book was a different experience than I expected. The movie is taken straight from the book, line by line, which made reading the book extremely surreal. I could hear the li...

Ah, beloved classic of many an SFF nerd’s childhood. Which I had never read before. And which, erm, I suspect must have been read in childhood to be properly appreciated. I didn’t dislike it, but it certainly didn’t have any real attraction for me. I think that if I had read it when I was younger, I...

would've gotten 5 stars if PSB wasn't so fucking attached to his traditional gender roles. i do love that she doesn't stay human for him though and that Lír doesn't get the girl in the end. it was a beautiful ending, and a bit sad, just how i like it. :))really well read by PSB though!

Eloquent and lyric as almost no other high fantasy I've read since maybe Tolkien, but without the loftiness that maybe smacks...

I was rather disappointed in this book. I found this on the Top 100 Fantasy Books of all time. WTH? This book was terrible. Okay maybe I shouldn't say terrible but it just didn't catch my attention. The unicorn as irritating and the magician was a jerk as was the king. I found most of the book to ...

Some warning : This is actually a dual review on the book and the movie. The Last Unicorn is a fantasy novel that began with a natural forest scene until a pair of hunter with their dog roamed through the woods intending to hunt. However, the older hunter felt an eerie feeling as soon as they entere...
