Kerijac is not a good reviewer,
By jac cunningham (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fellowship of the Talisman (Hardcover)
The people who previously reviewed this book are not intelligent and you should not listen to them. They were teaches in California under false pretenses and did not have teaching degrees in the United States. They now live illegally in Canada.

Great for kids in school.,
By kerijac@earthlink.net (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FELLWSHP OF TALISMAN (Mass Market Paperback)
Simak's book is not for advanced readers, but it is great for kids in school. When teaching the fantasy genre, it has incredible applications. The simple characters are easy to understand, giving the book a logical progression, while generating ample discussion on their interractions. A previous reviewer mentioned that the characters have only one characteristic (An understatement), but for a critical thinking exercise students can identify and define characters by observing their actions and interractions. To teachers who struggle with fantasy books which students can not engage in due to alien ideas and complex plots, I readily reccomend this book!

A fantastic underlying plot type of beginning fantasy book.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fellowship of the Talisman (Hardcover)
I really believe this book was a wonderful beginner for me. It was the first of my ventures into the fantasy genre. I mean, there were all sorts of interesting characters and be it that they didn't have an immense background or personality to them, they all still fit in well to make the book enjoyable. I believe a lot of readers missed (including other reviewers) the underlying religious plot, that gave the book a bit of in-depth meaning. If Mr. Simak had made this into a trilogy or something similar, I'm sure there could have been a lot more done with character and plot. I thought it was quite impressive. I found myself even upset when the lady horse or donkey was killed. The book drew me in and that is what I like...and the character ideas were superb! I mean, a banshee, witch, and hermit! What great additives. Thanks Mr. Simak for an enjoyable adventure.
