 the rangers apprentice bk 1 June 23, 2008
i loved it. yo often find in books like this that they use swords or big weapons and i love the idea of using the bow instead i cant wait to read the next one
Good read May 26, 2008
I think that it's silly that some people are rating this book by one star, just because it's a childrens book. Being a childrens book doesn't automatically make it bad. I am in my teens and I too, bought it, without realising it was a childrens book. But I really enjoyed it and plan to read the rest of the series.
The Ranger's Apprentice: From a 23 year olds point of view. May 22, 2008
I loved this book, the only reason I knew it was aimed at kids was because of the reviews on here, but don't let it put you off. I'm a 23 year old and it still aroused the excitement and feelings towards the characters that i've felt in many other "Adult" books. It starts off with a very familiar setting... anyone who's read "The Magician" by Raymond E. Feist may see a resemblance to the start... just imagine Pug and Tomas started off as enemies and you'd be pretty much there. That's not a bad thing... I loved the magician too.
All in all I think the book was a great read for a short book, you could probably polish it off in a few hours if you need to. It's not expensive either I think I bought it for under 2 so there's not really any reason not to try it.
Pleasantly Surprised - Great for more than just "Young Adults" February 29, 2008

After catching onto the "high fantasy" novel genre and trying to devour my way through every one ever written, it was with some shock that when this book arrived I realised it was aimed more at the "young adults" market. That said, after I begun reading it I lost all apprehension and throughly enjoyed this great read. Fans of the huge volumes of Tolkien, Jordan & Goodkind may be a little disappointed, massive and sprawling it isnt, but those of us who have grown a little jaded by these weighty classics will absolutely love this series. A light, easy to pick up and put down read, its a great way to lose yourself for an afternoon in a world of swords, shields, bows and heroic deeds! Very much looking forward to the follow ups!
