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.

I eagerly awaited this as it arrived from Abbeys Book in Australia. It took less than a day to devour it. True to the rest of the series, Mr. Flanagan belts out another amazing edition to the Ranger's Apprentice.
This time, Will and friends find themselves in Ireland (Hibernia) chasing after religious wackos. The dialogue between Horace, Will and Halt are hilarious. This is by far the funniest book of the series.
John Flanagan covers the story well, brings out the personalities nicely, and wraps the whole story into a wonderful and enchanting end.
I look forward to book 9!

This review is from: The Kings of Clonmel (Ranger's Apprentice, Volume 8) (Paperback)

I have now read all 8 of this series and have enjoyed every one - I was much pleased to find that I could get books on Amazon that have not been released in the US.

I only wished that I had read the covers before I read the last four that I got because he went backwards in one book and it wa a little confusing - not enought to keep me from reading every word.
