More About the Author
John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It wasn't until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John's assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting. After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years. John began writing Ranger's Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable Juvenile/Teen Fantasy Series - Recommended,
By C. F. Hill "CFH" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Ranger's Apprentice Collection (3 Books) (Paperback)
"The Ranger's Apprentice Collection" includes John Flanagan's first three books in the series, The Ruins of Gorlan (The Ranger's Apprentice, Book 1), The Burning Bridge (The Ranger's Apprentice, Book 2), and The Icebound Land (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 3).
The story lines center around a young Ranger's Apprentice named Will and his circle of friends. Since there are three books in this set I will not go into the individual plots (see the links to books, above). Younger teens will enjoy the way Flanagan treats youth in the series and the overall positive atmosphere. While these books are written for younger readers, the story telling is engaging enough to keep adults interested as well (both my wife and I also read these). It should be noted that there are at least 5 additional books in this series now, so this might be a bigger investment than planned since my son wants the rest of them now. Recommended!

The Ranger's Apprentice Books,
By claire bright "Krista Clemens" (AL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ranger's Apprentice Collection (3 Books) (Paperback)
My son and I absolutely love these books. The development of the characters is excellent and the story is extremely interesting and exciting. Anyone looking for books that a boy OR girl would enjoy should definitely check into these. They would make terrific Christmas presents.
One thing, though, I think the age range is off. I think anyone, even college age and above, would love these.

This review is from: The Ranger's Apprentice Collection (3 Books) (Paperback)
My 10 year old son read the first book, Ruins of Gorland, in 2 days and then begged me to get the rest of the books in the series....he loves these stories. We have been reading together and he wants one more chapter, one more chapter! i love hearing that from a boy who until recently read just because he HAD to for school and now he is reading for the pure joy of it! What more could a mom ask for! The stories are fast paced, full of detail, tons of action and suspense throughout. Characters are fun, adventurous, relatable and have personality that resonates through this authors writing skill. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SERIES.
