An approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry since its first publication, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an indispensable guide to the magical beasts of the wizarding world. It showcases a menagerie of magical creatures, explained enchantingly by noted magizoologist, Newt Scamander, who you may remember from the film series of the same name.

I was expecting a story, not an encyclopedia.

I was expecting a story, not an encyclopedia. This is just a reading list of all the magical creatures, descriptions, where they come from, and how dangerous they are. Disappointing and did not finish listening; very boring.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 6,234
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Not a kid's book
Reviewed: 07-27-17
If you are expecting a clean-cut fantasy, you will be disappointed. The language in this book is R rated. I never finished the first chapter and turned it off and will be returning the book.

"The dead don't talk. I don't know why." But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Odd Thomas thinks of himself as an ordinary guy, if possessed of a certain measure of talent at the Pico Mundo Grill and rapturously in love with the most beautiful girl in the world, Stormy Llewellyn.

Unnecessary vulgar language
Reviewed: 06-11-12
Sad and troubling. If you like tragedies, this one is for you. If you want a happy ending, look for another book. The vulgar language was unnecessary for the story. The love story was wonderful. The love was pure, as love should be.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 175
Each of the best-selling writers represented in Legends II return to the special universe of the imagination that its author has made famous throughout the world. Whether set before or after events already recounted elsewhere, whether featuring beloved characters or compelling new creations, these masterful short novels are both mesmerizing stand-alones (perfect introductions to the work of their authors) and indispensable additions to the epics on which they are based.

Watch Out for Obsenities
Reviewed: 03-03-12
Did not think much of either of these books.
Really George, are all the obscenities necessary?

What would have made Legends II, Volume 2 better?
How about adding ratings to your books so I know what I am getting before I buy it!
What was most disappointing about Diana Gabaldon and Terry Brooks ’s story?
Terry Brooks did it again with a great story!
Diana Gabaldon - sorry, lost interest quickly. Was not interested in hearing a story with a bi-sexual character so never got past the background part of the book.
