5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT BOOK FOR TOLKIEN LOVERS, May 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadows of Doom (Iron Tower Trilogy) (Paperback)

This book achieved overall excellence it managed to keep this reader involved through the entire novel. I think that this is just as good of a series as "Lord of the Rings". Dennis McKiernan is an excellent author also try "Tales of Mithgar."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Second book, May 26, 2000

"ploid" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadows of Doom (Iron Tower Trilogy) (Paperback)

I think all the reviwers who are blasting this book for being a Tolkien rip off are missing the point sure there a lot of similarities espesially the Krakken but this was orginally meant to be a sequal to Lord Of the Rings, also imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If can get past that this may not be the most orginal idea in the world and just enjoy the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars McKiernan creates a "Tolkien" like work of fiction., January 31, 1999

Robert T. Curtis - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadows of Doom (Iron Tower Trilogy) (Paperback)

The Iron Tower Trilogy is a must read for fantasy fans. It owes much of itself to J.R.R Tolkien, but McKiernan clearly proves that he is a master storyteller as well. It's an easy read but one you won't want to put down.
