oh yeah!, October 8, 2000
This review is from: Gom on Windy Mountain (Tales of Gom in the Legends of Ulm) (Paperback)
Excellent book wonderful for middle schoolers. It gives tem and excellent start on the world of fantasy and adult literature, and for the high schoolers through old men it lets u revisit the "good old days". In my opinion this book and the whole series is better than lord of the rings.

Slow start to a good children's series, September 22, 2000

This review is from: Gom on Windy Mountain (Tales of Gom in the Legends of Ulm) (Paperback)
First off, I must admit that it has been many years since I last read this book, however I do have a relatively good memory of it.
Basic plot: Gom is a mousy haired boy living with his lumberjack father, Zig (I think) in the mountains, his mother being a wizard who disappeared at his birth and has never been seen since. Most of the book revolves around Gom's everyday life and his strange affinity with the world around him, until near the end of the book he gets drawn into an adventure that will send him off to learn magic and find his mother later in the series.
For a typical imaginative child, if they can get through this book, I think they will very much enjoy the rest of the series, I know that I did.
