- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing fantasy novel for YA readers. I seldom or barley read Ya fantasy novel but this was a must. I know that a lot of writers like Neil gaiman and others include them in their fav novel list. So I decided to pick it up " I did hybrid read +audio book". The fact that Rob Inglis narrated the series made me more excited to check it out. Now I understand why this novel is in the 100 best fantasy novels list and it definitely has inspired a lot of writers and starwars! . This novel is not just for YA readers but for adults as well.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was really interested in the book and tried to make it through. But , sorry to say this, the narrator is so incredibly boring, that I gave up. I tried several times. But it´s like your grandpa would be really tired and still try to read you a good - night -story with a lot of effort. Maybe I will read it at some point, but somehow it´s spoiled now. cheers
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolute classic! It's been too long since I read this, great to listen to it. The narrator did a fantastic job.
