"I have not read much in the way of juvenile fiction but I very much liked this book. It's a fun little story that's going to span across three more books (and has apparently already spanned 10 novels and 3 graphic novels. Admittedly, I didn't read any of the previous novels/ graphic novels but I wasn't lost in the story."

" This book is the book that got me to like reading. I never would have thought I would like a book this much. If I could have given it more stars, I would. "

" i read thid to see if dylan would like it and also i like the cover (that is how i pike most of my books) i ended up getting all of the lost books - 6 in all - i liked the different take on good and evil "
— Carenerin, 2/5/2014 -
" I picked this book up at the library just because I thought it might be interesting, and it was. I didn't realize this author had written a trilogy that is before this one, and I'm definitely going to go back and read that one. "

" Another great Dekker book from the Circle Epic series... "
— Jeff, 1/23/2014 -
" A little bit choppy writing. Probably for a younger audience, but for the most part, enjoyable. "
— Shadowfairy, 1/22/2014 -
" I read this book for the second time this weekend - the 1st time, I gave it 4 stars - this time, because I understand what is going on a little better having read the circle trilogy (which I loved) I'm giving it 5 stars! Cannot wait to read the next one!! "

" I know there are probably some people who absolutely loved this book (which book doesn't?), but I just couldn't get into it. It might be the style, or the storyline, but I was on page ten and wanting it to be over, so I stopped. "
— Luke, 1/10/2014 -
" This book is incredible! Very similar to Lord of the Rings type of story. I loved it and poured through it in about 3 days! It's written for teens so if you have a teenager that likes to read I highly recommend this book! "

" Wonderful!! Great read! "
— Caleb, 12/12/2013 -
" Not awful, just "meh." The very overt religious tone really put me off. Would have been a fun story otherwise, but it was just hard for me to swallow. "

" INSANE!!!!!!! All of these novels in The Lost Books series leave you holding your breath and gasping for air the entire time. What an utterly fantastic series! If you haven't read the original Circle Series that these books were derived from, definitely start there, but don't forget about these! "
— Jennifer, 2/26/2012 -
" A youth fantasy that's well written and leaves me wanting to read others by the author. Sure, it's often predictable, but SO much better than most other LOTR imitators. I know the middle school boys are going to love this. "
— Libby, 1/21/2012 -
" a good book but a little out of the ordinary. "
— Storey, 1/8/2012 -
" Having met Thomas Hunter in Black, Red, and White, the trilogy, it is good to meet him in the Land where Elyon dwells. Interesting twists in the story for Scrapper. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Infidel is next! "
— Joan, 8/29/2011 -
