Journal Entry 1 by psangel102 from Debary, Florida USA on Monday, September 1, 2003
This is one of those life changing books for me. I am an insatiable reader and this book became a part of who I was. It kept me up at night just to finish and I could not stop thinking about the characters until I was able to get the rest of the trilogy. Written by a student of JR Tolkien (G.G. Kay worked with Tolkien's son to put together works after Tolkien's death) this work shows some of his influence in the way the book sounds (similar language and pacing). I don't want to give too much away - but the story involves 5 students (graduate school) who are brought into another world and who help that world in order to save our world. Amazon.com says "Five university students--Kimberly, Dave, Jennifer, Kevin, and Paul--meet a wizard who takes them to the heart of all worlds, Fionavar, where they discover who they were truly meant to be." The characters are incredibly believable and enduring, they are easy to relate to and create a bond with the reader. The story has an excellent pace, it flows well and like I said, you really can't wait to get the entire trilogy to finish out the story. It starts to weave in Arthurian legend, typical Sci-Fi ideas, and the classic story of ultimate good against evil. This book is incredible and I hope you enjoy it!
