Customer Reviews

Even better than the first three books

I read the first three books and have now almost finished this one. Normally I wouldn't write a review before completing a book, but this one is so good, that I had to do so. The previous books were most enjoyable, and I found myself getting delightfully lost in their pages. This book, however, is even better. In some places, it is almost poetic in its beauty. Yeah, I am well past the age of its target audience. But sometimes seasoned adults like to imagine their days of youth in alternate ways. This is a book for the young and the young at heart. Update: I've just finished it. It was excellent to the very end. I highly recommend.
