Such an amazing story to tell

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 10-21-05

Having just finished The Narnian I couldn't help comparing the experiences of Lewis and Tolkien to Stanek. Stanek has such an amazing story to tell and this highly interesting book provides so many insights not to mention four very good stories. I enjoyed learning more about this magnificent author and travelling the Kingdoms.

The Narnian

Overall
4 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 10-21-05

C.S Lewis is a theologian and Christian writer. He was good friends with fellow writer and academic J.R.R. Tolkien. Both Lewis and Tolkien were members of the Inklings, a writers group that met regularly during the time Lewis was writing The Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkien was writing The Lord of the Rings. The Narnian is the story of C.S Lewis from his childhood in Ireland to his experiences in WWI to his highly interesting association with Tolkien.

The most amazing part of this to me is how the experiences of up-and-comers Lewis and Tolkien in the twentieth century parallels that of the experiences of up-and-coming authors in the twenty-first century and most notably, my favorite author.

Uh....

I don't quite get the appeal of this book. It isn't horrible, but it's not that entertaining either. Perhaps better if you haven't listened to good mystery in a while.

It IS better than DaVinci Code

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 10-20-05

DaVinci Code didn't really resonate with me, I couldn't get into it. This however I get into it's fast and fun. If you are looking for entertainment this is it.

The Dragon King Awaits!

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 09-18-05

Just when I was thinking it couldn't get any better, the author delivers the grand finale of a terrific series! Our family loves these books, and by far the best series we've listened to on Audible. I recommend these books to anyone, from any age group, that likes fantasy, mystery and far away worlds. If you don't like such things, well, you will after you finish reading this one!

High Adventure and Mystery Await!

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 09-18-05

This incredible series only improves as it goes along! The external speakers we bought for our iPod was our best investment so far as our whole family gathers to listen to the stories. These stories are one of the all time classics for all ages. We've enjoyed watching Adrina grow into a more mature young woman, Vilmos accept who he is and go on great adventures, Seth battle the elements and unseen foes, and Xith at the center of it all.

The best we've listened to on Audible

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 09-18-05

Our whole family listened and enjoyed this. This second book continues the adventures of Adrina, Vilmos and Seth. This is an incredible series that we simply can't get enough of. These books have just about everything - heroes, scoundrels, mystery, action, drama, magic.

Book two gets you deeper and deeper into the story, and it gets better and better. Well worth the price and time. The reading is excellent. Once again, I enjoyed every minute.

Great start!

Our whole family listened and enoyed this. This is the start of an incredible series! The story starts with Adrina's story. Adrina wishes for change but when it comes it's not what she expected. There's also has the story of others like Vilmos and Seth.

These books have just about everything - heroes, scoundrels, mystery, action, drama, magic. Book one is just the beginning, and even though I think this ones 5-stars, the other ones are much better. You get deeper and deeper into the story, and it gets better and better.

Well worth the price and time. The reading is excellent. I enjoyed every minute.
