This wasn't a review so mu...Hi 'Anon',<br /><br />This wasn't a review so much as a brief note on why I put it down so early. I probably should have made that clearer for the people reading (although no-one else has complained...)<br /><br />I never actually reviewed the whole book either - just commented on the sixty odd pages that I did read. It would be pretty stupid to judge the whole of a book if I hadn't actually read it all, wouldn't it? Again, sorry that point wasn't made clear to you. Maybe things pick up later but if things don't get going right at the start...? Well, who's going to be around for the rest of the book?<br /><br />As far as Bilsborough's use of vocabulary goes, he can use whatever words he likes and that was never my complaint. Words that blatantly stand out and detract from the setting though? That's something entirely different and should be noted.<br /><br />I think the real issue here is that you enjoyed 'The Wanderer's Tale' and cannot understand why I didn't. That's just the way it goes unfortunately. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same stuff as everyone else are they? It's that simple and that's where good discussion happens.<br /><br />Classless comments though? Well, they only ever reflect badly on the person making them and don't make for good discussion. If you come back to reply, you might want to remember that :o)Graeme Floryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411505049326440010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-61727634963450259492011-02-04T00:58:00.268+00:002011-02-04T00:58:00.268+00:00What kind of critic writes a review after only rea...What kind of critic writes a review after only reading sixty pages? The story gains a lot more momentum, not to mention Bilsborough's fictional world of Lindormyn has a considerable amount of depth. If you're complaining about the vocabulary used throughout the series, reading probably isn't your niche; stick with video games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-318695801038882872009-03-12T02:33:00.000+00:002009-03-12T02:33:00.000+00:00How big is the book?Is it good?I need a book to re...How big is the book?<BR/>Is it good?<BR/>I need a book to read for this project, and I was searching the "Google Book Search" so i found this. <BR/>Looking for a fantasy kind of book....<BR/>Any suggestions?aryu8https://www.blogger.com/profile/12131650600942321892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-64754614750004857322009-03-12T02:32:00.000+00:002009-03-12T02:32:00.000+00:00How big is the book?Is it good?I need a book to re...How big is the book?<BR/>Is it good?<BR/>I need a book to read for this project, and I was searching the "Google Book Search" so i found this. <BR/>Looking for a fantasy kind of book....<BR/>Any suggestions?<BR/>have suggestions, please email to horse.runner8@gmail.comaryu8https://www.blogger.com/profile/12131650600942321892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-59922996451228994752009-01-13T22:52:00.000+00:002009-01-13T22:52:00.000+00:00Just made it to page one hundred and will seriousl...Just made it to page one hundred and will seriously need to consider if the book is worthy of my time.

I've heard similarly bad things about this novel. I also read an interview where the author came across as an arrogant tosser, to put it mildly.
