4.0 out of 5 stars
Lavish artwork enhances this enjoyable Conan adventure.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conan and the Sorcerer (Paperback)
First of all, it must be said that Conan, as portrayed in this novel, and the subsequent novels by the author (Conan the Mercenary and The Sword of Skelos, forming a loose trilogy)is a bit too talkative and knowledgeable for his age, which is given as 17. That aside, these three novels are simply too enjoyable for that to detract from the overall reading experience.Offut's style is quite different form that of Robert E. Howard, Conan's creator, but is appropriate for a Conan adventure nevertheless. There is plenty of action, despicable villains, and, of course, several irresistable women. Conan wades through the bloodshed and sorcery, and emerges almost unscathed, and a little wiser for his experiences. There is also an injection of humor that enhances the novel. Along with the marvelous artwork, this book is quite a package. One should definitely seek out the larger-sized trade paperback edition if possible, but by all means, read this novel either way. It will not disappoint, and you'll find yourself seeking out the next two novels in the series.

CONAN AND THE SORCERER,
This review is from: Conan and the Sorcerer (Paperback)
THIS NOVEL IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS ABOUT CONAN THAT YOU CAN READ. IT HAS PLENTY OF ACTION, INTRIGUE AND MYSTERY. AS MUCH AS I LIKED THIS NOVEL, I HAVE TO SAY THAT CONAN APPEARED MORE MATURE THAN THE MERELY 17 YEARS OLD HE SUPOSSEDLY HAVE IN THE NOVEL. THE ILLUSTRATIONS BY ESTEBAN MAROTO ARE WELL DONE AND A NICE ADDITION TO THE BOOK. GET THE NOVEL, READ IT AND YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE TWO SEQUELS: CONAN THE MERCENARY AND THE SWORD OF SKELOS.
