Eragon


I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned these books yet it taken time but I have got round to it.


I borrowed this book from my sister and loved it the author Christopher Poline certainly knows how to draw you in to the world he creates.

To me these books should rival if not better Harry potter for beings some of the best children to young adult books of our time.



I do not like to go in to much detail about the books I review as you may want to read them yourself.
But the main character of the book is called Eragon who goes hunting in a forest not far from his home to help his family, whilst hunting he find a strange blue stone in a forest.

Later he finds the stone is a little more exciting but just as dangerous as it turns out to be one of the last remaining eggs of the legendary and all but nearly extinct race of Dragons.

this is but a littel of what happens in this book and sets the scene for an epic tale of heroism and daring never before drement of by this young boy.

i give these books a 4 and a half star rating, there are two more books to make a trilogy and a fourth to be relesaed yet the other two books that have been released are called Eldest and Brisinger.
finaly there is one more point i would like to make and this is about the film adaptation of the books Eragon which i personally find distaestful and not a good representation of the book at all.

But for all it fallings it is good for people who have not read the books and will entertain children.

Lord of the Ring

arwen-undomiel.com/images/faramir.php?page=2
I am a massive Lord of the ring fan and have read the Hobbit, Unfinished tales, Children of Hurin and of course the trilogy.


i find that J.R.R.Tolkin work is some times hard to concentrate on because at times there is so much to take in like when your a new borne baby and the world is so different to what you have know for 9 months.

any way i have Finlay had the time to finish the trilogy and it has reawakened my thirst to read.

i love all the characters of the fellowship but if i had to name my most Favorite character out the entire trilogy it would have to be Captain Farmier of Gondor he has the humanity to be truly merciful but hard enough to get the job done.


He is just as Kingly as Aragorn but has a humility just like Argorn this is why he is one of my Favorite characters.

Plus i love the idea of being a ranger it is appealing to mean as i have the basic skills i know how to recognise tracks and shoot a bow and even know a little bit about wood craft as well.
I have added a link at the top of this post to show were i got my picture from.

Good wedding song?



I have recently become engaged and i was wondering what my first song was going too be after the wedding.
this is because i am not the average guy who would have so sappy love song so me and my other half Kat decided on Nickle back far away it is metal enough but also sloppy.

Rating

very simple rating sytem used here five stars amazing 1 star very bad this is an easy basis to use and so that is why i use it. Were wolf out

Rangers apprentice

so i have been recommended some books my beautiful fiancee and these books are called the rangers apprentice.
i have read two of these books and have nearly finished a third, and i find my self very involved with the world the writer John Flanagan has created the books may not be as in depth as the way they are with J.R.R Tolkien, but i find that this adds to the appeal as the writer gets you to the action very quickly and keeps your attention.
i will not write any quotes from the books them selves as this would not be fair to any one who wants to read these books, but i give them a 4 star rating the characters grow in front of your eyes and i feel involved guessing what is about to happen but hasn't yet and needing to read more and more to find out.
