5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book Well Worth Reading., May 8 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Wizard And The Floating City (Paperback)

Christopher Rowley's mastery of the written word is clearly seen once again within this tale. If you enjoy the Bazil Broketail series you might very well enjoy this book too, though set in a different place and time then Broketail it is well worth the reading. The only complaint can be that it ends in a way that leads the reader to believe or to hope that there might be another book in this series, there is an opening too and maybe someday there will be a second book, but until then this is well worth the reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Myth, excellent Bildungsroman for the young reader, Nov 24 1999

This review is from: Wizard And The Floating City (Paperback)

Well first I think it is plain cheeky to critique a novel if one has yet to write one - not to mention write one succesfully. I notice other reviewers do not suffer from this compunction. Anyway, what a wonderful story. It teaches (without a hint of didactism - the bane of wannabe fantasy novelists) all of the key elements that will shape a Hero and that are so lacking in our X-generation. Self-sacrifice, valor, courage, chivalry, the character of evil and the character of good. Yes, the the 'sophisticated' post-modern reader (many from the haunts of the N-East and California, for some reason) will find this appraisal somehow naive - but then so would Waakzaam the Great. Well, well, for those who have ears to hear, this is a story to read, experience and live if you can! Wonderful reading! Have fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was pretty good book., July 7 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wizard And The Floating City (Paperback)

It is a good book because it will tell about one of the people that the Broketail will fight in one of his later books. If Rowley had probily not have wrote this book, we the readers, would have probiy be wondering who this person was in the later book, because there was no explanation for him in that book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read only if you like _Bazil Broketail_
This book wasn't a very good read, but it wasn't terrible, either. It is useful in that it shows the reader more of the Bazil Broketail universe, and fleshes out some of the... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Compared to Rowley's other works, this was dissapointing.
On a whole, I like the Bazil Broketail series. This book, however, set on the same world, was not on par with Rowley's other books. Read more
