I've been a fan of the series since it first aired and was extremely disappointed when Fox cancelled it without airing the last 5 episodes. I then heard about the books coming out, but could not get my hands on them till now. I finished Roar yesterday and all I can is wow! I love that they included the story behind the story with Gar as a young man and Conor not even born yet. I also liked the allusions that were made about Catlin's father. Overall I thought this book ran true to form and I'm glad that nothing was cut out that was in the pilot episode.

I had watched the T.V. show befor I read this book ( and before the show was canceled) and had thought it was great. As soon as I read Roar I thought it was great. The characters in the book were a great match for each other. If you like fantsy and Scifi, you'll love this book. And the sequal is really, really good to. It is almost better! (Sorry if there is any spelling mistakes!)

After the disappointment of the networks decision to cancel the series, I found the books (Roar and Roar,the Cauldron)true to form... it is a real shame they stopped the series...though I can see where book 2 would have been conceptually impossible to project to the viewer in a series form... I loved both books.. the charachters.. I hope that Kiernan furthers himself in writing so the disappointed viewers can still follow his works... very enjoyable reading.

This is the best book I have ever read. I love the details and the plot. It was well written. I hope the series continues after the second book.

I really loved this book especially since Roar has been canceled and I can't watch it any more. It starts out with what happened before the show started. It has all the action and drama of the show and it chronicles Conor and Claire's relationship from the first meeting to her death in the pilot episode of Roar. Although it begins before Conor's birth it was still fascinating how everyone's lives connected for the pilot.

If you're a fan of Heath Ledger(or have seen the TV series) you'll know basically what this book is all about. I've always believed that a movie can never capture the magic of a good book, and this is a good example of just that. Through reading this masterpice by Sean Kiernan, you become much more aquainted with the characters and their feelings,and are given much more information of the relationship between Conor and Claire(how they first met, etc). Well worth reading.

I have never seen the show ROAR, but the book was awesome! Sean Kiernan is now one of my favorite authors, and I can't wait to read the sequel. It was great literature, very descriptive. I couldn't put it down. It had a different sort of plot, but very interesting. I recommend it! Great book!

i loved this novel, and can't wait to get the next one. The television show was one of the few new programs that worked with the viewer in terms of intelligence and imagination, and Kiernan's novel has the same magic. I hope he continues beyond the scope of the series, bringing to life more of Conor's (and Fergus and Catlin) adventures, in the tradition of the great heroics of celtic oral history cycles.

It is so neat to find out how everything came together.When the show was on they didn't really explain how everything happened. The book explains it all.

It follows the plot that's been established on the show so far. However, it has some inconsistancies with the time periods. Everything should be taking place five years earlier that it does in the book. And Conor has brown eyes, not blue.
