Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Apr 12, 2007 Type: User Review a review for the curious LOTR fan

Taking place in the distant past of the Middle Earth most people know from the "Lord of the Rings," the "Children of Hurin" is a poignantly beautiful gem from JRR Tolkien's literary world. Before great cataclysms that altered the very substance of...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Apr 28, 2007 Type: User Review For the aficianados only!

I hate to write a negative review. After finishing the Silmarillion, I was so excited to receive this book that I ripped open the box from Amazon and started reading immediately.

While reading Children of Hurin, I kept thinking that...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Apr 18, 2007 Type: User Review What I expected disappointing.

Children of Hurin centres its story on Turin a most human character with inherent flaws. The book itself is begins many thousands of years before the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings and if you have just read these two works then you will be very...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Apr 13, 2007 Type: User Review Literary Schmiterary

Don't really know what to say, so I'll let some other eggheads ramble on about characterization, plot development and all the other literary crap you're supposed to put in a review. All I have to say is buy this book when you have nothing else to...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Mar 21, 2007 Type: User Review Loads of fun!

I just loved this book. From start to finish it was flat out great. The characters were all interesting and deep (as opposed to superficial cliches), and the plot had some clever twists and neat puzzles. It was fun solving those puzzles along...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Apr 07, 2007 Type: User Review Doesn't live up to its own standard

The blurb in the front of this book doesn't quite cover the gist of the story, only describing the first two chapters. In a nutshell, four orphan children face the trials of becoming secret spies at a private school located on an island. It is...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Dec 13, 1996 Type: User Review An outstanding account of WWII, in a human manor.

Billy Pilgram has come unstuck in time. That is the first line of one of the most powerful anti-war book I have ever read. Vonnegut tells the story of Billy Pilgram, a POW in WWII, based on his own experience as the same. He approches this...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Oct 19, 1998 Type: User Review Interesting subject, overrated style

Though this book had an intriguing premise and a fairly unique concept (becoming "unstuck" in time), the intrusion of the book's self-proclaimed author during the Billy Pilgrim story grew tiresome. As another reviewer said, this book is...

From: Posted: Nov 15, 1998 Type: User Review Well Written but overrated

This is a well written, engaging sort of book. The story, such as it is (there's not much here), is told in a bright, likable style. It's hard to imagine anyone actually hating this. Having said all that, though, it's also true that this is a...

A friend has this box set, so I borrowed the book "The Fall of Reach". Oh, dear God. I just thought the guy had no clue how to write, so he just slapped togeather a bunch of clichs with WAY too much detail into stuff like how the guns are. Some...

From: Posted: Mar 06, 2006 Type: User Review Sparked My Interest, Guilty of Tease

All three of the stories were written well and the plots unfolded in riviting fashion as one who had played the game would expect. However, with that said, I must state that one of my primary expectations weren't met, or even addressed.

From: Posted: Apr 29, 1998 Type: User Review Readers of Robert Jordan Beware!!

Tolkien's works are classic fantasy. Robert Jordan is modern fantasy. They are two very different genres with an equally avid, but extremely different following. A spare few can truly enjoy both. I was deeply disappointed that I could not like...

This would have been a much more interesting book had Gibson kept his anger about America and America in Iraq out of it. He derails the story about halfway through, unable to contain his opinions any longer and takes some interesting characters...
