Alanna, The First Adventure: Song of the Lioness, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A great introduction to a wonderful series. Strong female character! Great read for young girls seeking out sheroes! "

" Amazing amazing amazing amazing. For the longest time I have held out from reading Tamora Pierce books, and I have not the slightest inkling why. This book was AWESOME. "

" This is the book that started my love of fantasy. "

" Very cliche, boring main character, plot moves along too quickly, and everything happens too easily for Alana. Also, the ending was just so... irrelevant to me. "

" This is so god damn typical. I hear about a young adult fantasy series on NPR, something to do with the word "lioness," so I order this piece of shit. Turns out I wanted the Lyonesse, not Lioness series, as this is straight up written for a ten year old girl. Of course, I finished it anyway and ordered the next one. I need to know if she shacks up with Prince Jonathan. "

" I never finished the book, but I liked the parts I read :) "

" I loved it!! I can't wait to get a hold of the next one!!! "

" i loved "alan" is ver smart at switching with her brother "

" I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. It's such a fun tale of a girl who really wants to be knight. Tamora Pierce is a fun author, and I enjoy reading her books! "

" I didn't like how convenient it all was, but maybe later we'll discover it's due to magic and that makes it all right...'a wizard did it.' However, all in all a fun story for light, fast reading. "

" this is the first YA book that ever got me interested d in reading. There's a daring heroin, Alanna, who switches places with her twin brother in order for her to pursue her dreams of becoming a knight;this is totally unheard of in her era. "

" Reread this...seemed so much better when I was 12 but still pretty good "

" I loved this book. It was one of the first books I really got in to after Harry Potter. I tell people that Harry Potter got me reading But book kept me reading. "

" I enjoyed this book. I thought it was clever and a good captivating story. I am fast becoming a fan of Tamora Pierce. "

" First read when i was around 11 and i read them again numerous times throughout my teens, despite the fact that in general i don't re-read anything. I really loved the stories and characters. :) Might reread them again :) "

" I wish I had read this long ago, and am glad that my daughter discovered it at about age 10 with no help from me. It strikes me as a good bridge for independent readers between C.S. Lewis' The Horse and His Boy, and Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown. "

" One of my favorite books/series as a kid. "

" I absolutely love this series! I love Alanna and so many other of the characters! "

" very enjoyable loved the characters and the plot and all of it "

" Another book whittled away while driving. I'm really enjoying this author. She has several series set in the same land. They're entertaining and good strong books for young women, while still being entertaining enough for the other gender. "

" When I was about 14? I loved this.I read it again when I was older and was slightly shocked at my lack of taste. Tamora Pierce has definitely grown as a writer, I think her later work is hugely better than this, in terms of plot, writing, character - the lot, really. "

" Love, love, love, love....if you can't tell I love this series and have read it numerous times! "

" One of my favorite series growing up. "

" It is a long time since I've read it, but I remember being very satisfied the content of the book. "

" One of My favorite series of all time. I will love these books until I grow old "

" These are great books. I've loved everything Tortall book she has written. "
