5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Story!, October 17, 2002

By	"edbaboc196" (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews

My father bought this book for me because he liked Keeper Martin's Tale so much. He's usually good at picking interesting stories but this time he REALLY did it. There aren't enough stars up there to credit Mr. Stanek justly! 'EQ&K' showcases his great talent and ability to breath life into a story. This dark fantasy is full of unexpected twists, keeping the story exciting. It is a truly brilliant work--the best I have yet discovered. If you have even the slightest interest after reading these reviews, then I strongly suggest that you find yourself a copy or two or three! I can't imagine anyone could be disappointed with this one. Thank you, Mr. Stanek! Thank you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dismal. , October 22, 2005

By	C. O. Patenall "Clive" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm sorry to have to say that this is one of those crystal clear examples of why some people are self published. I saw no literary or stroytelling merit in the work at all. Compared with the work of masters such as Vernor Vinge, George R.R. Martin or David Langford, this limp effort doesn't even get its head above the parapet.
