5.0 out of 5 stars The best novel I've read in 20 years!, July 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fourth Guardian: Book One of the Eternal Guardians (Paperback)

This is the best novel I've read since William Goldman's "marathon Man" It is IMPOSSIBLE to put down and filled with interesting characters and brilliantly choreographed action scenes. There are also bits of very insightful commentary, but these are never preachy and blend seamlessly with the wonderful prose. This is the kind of book that reminds one just what can be achieved by the written word!

This review is from: The Fourth Guardian: Book One of the Eternal Guardians (Paperback)

Along while back, I had checked this book out at a library. And I plan on buying it, because I want to read it again! The book is awesome! It is a pretty compelling story, and I couldn't put the book down! If you like science fiction, you'll like this. Even though I don't think the book is that sci-fi! But it is a must to read!

1.0 out of 5 stars Gratuitous and pointless, May 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fourth Guardian: Book One of the Eternal Guardians (Paperback)

The only reason this book doesn't receive a 1 is because of its strong characters. There is no real plot to speak of. The storyline on which this book rests seems to exist only to get from one scene of intricately-detailed violence and/or sex to the next; characters frequently kill and are killed off for no reason whatsoever (culminating with one of the protagonists at the end of the book--in fact, I think "no reason whatsoever" is this book's theme).

Leave this dud in the trash where it belongs.
