The premise of this story is very alluring. A young ,seemingly, ordinary boy stumbles upon a beautiful stone that turns out to be his destiny. I am a big fan of fantasy and there was a lot of hype surrounding this book. The fact that the writer was a teenager when he penned it does bring a certain amount of admiration.

Unlike other people, I saw the movie before I read the book. People talked to me about it, but I thought it was a depressing book series with the last dragon on earth in it.

This book kept me involved in the story from the first chapter to the last page and wanting more! I couldn't wait to get out and read the next book, and the next! Hopefully they won't keep us waiting for book 4 for too long!

Reads like a particularly bad D&D module got sick on and threw up a junior thesaurus. The ratio of made-up words is high, the name of the king is a mishmash of the lead Decepticon from Transformers and 'dominatrix,' words aren't used properly, and there's a huge amount of redundant language. I realize this is the author's first book, but doesn't his publisher have editors?
