Great story!,
This review is from: GoneAway Into the Land (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed - in fact, lost myself in - this riveting tale of a young hero's epic journey through the most amazing place an imagination could conjure, while facing the most sinister of foes. The imagery was so deliciously described, I felt as though I was there!! A truly unique story!

An intricately constructed world of fantacy,
This review is from: GoneAway Into the Land (Paperback)
This is an amazing tale for many reasons. But one thing that sets this book apart from others is this:
In order for the story to be told and understood in the context intended by the author he continuously provides the reader with a stream of visions about what this Land is all about. The attention to every detail of the Land, it's inhabitants, topography, culture, and all the incredible mind blowing intricacies of this parallel universe are all revealed as a backdrop, a stage, to support the real story of the heroes and villains. Multiple story lines are weaved into a concert of reality and fantasy and always being supported by author Jeffery Allen's knack for letting the reader get a good visual fix on the physical surroundings of the scene. His descriptions are so real and detailed it seems like he grew up in the Land. It's a great read and an escape into a world that will stay in your memory for a lifetime.
