Foundling: The Foundling's Tale, Part One Audiobook

" yuck, school book club book "

" I read this a couple of years ago, and I really enjoyed it. It is about an orphan who is apprenticed to be a lamp lighter, but on his way there discovers he may have a talent for monster fighting. I thought this was a really good book, and a fun story boys from 10 on up would like. I started the second book but somehow it got lost in the many books I get tangled in. I need to try it again because I know it will be a fun continuation of the foundling's adventure. "

" I liked this book. It was a freebie book I got this past July at San Diego Comic-con. Interesting characters, original world... just really cool. "

" it was really good but ended rather suddenly, diffrent to read though "

" Awesome book. loved the story... however some of the parts seemed hurried. looking forward to read the remaining books of the series. "

" I really disliked this book, I think this is mainly because I was young when I read it, and I hadn't had read a large range of books, but nevertheless the book was extremely hard to understand and there were too many different things you had to know to keep up with it all. Very confusing! "

" It is a really good read. I recommend this for people of all ages. "

" Starts off a bit slow, very long winded. Not that into it yet.... I hope it gets better as it progresses or I'll just return it. "

" Young Adult fantasy/horror, with plenty of violence. "

" The illustrations are wonderfully done, this would have made an excellent graphic novel. The author/ illustrator clearly spent a great deal of time world building. It is extraordinary. "

" If you like Harry Potter, give this a try. "

" It was tolerable, though the diction was a bit overblown, if you ask me. "

" Monster Blood Tattoo creates an interesting world that still suffers a bit from "first-book" syndrome: not enough happens in this first installment! However, it's great to see such an original fantastic realm--home to monsters that are more of the under the bed variety than dragons and elves. "

" wonderful narrator! "

" Recommended to me by a local YA editor and bookseller. Story of Rossamund Bookchild, an orphan struggling to reach his new post as a lamplighter through a world lousy with monsters and monster-fighters. The level of detail devoted to the creatures, occupations, objects, and lexicon is delightful. "

" Pitched more at the younger crowd, nevertheless I enjoyed the story and will continue on with the series. "

" Formulaic but fun kid's adventure story. Well imagined alternate universe. complete with maps & dictionary. "

" I wasn't a big fan of this book, just ask Kelly Cotton. "

" I'm very interested to see where this series goes. It's a cool world with complex, believable characters. "

" First in a remarkable new series set in the "half continent". While in some ways this reads very much like juvenile fiction, the world-making is remarkably complex and the story pulls you in. A real page-turner. "

" A fun fantasy read for insomnia nights but Cornish way overexplains the world s/he's created. "

" I thought it was great i liked it more for the world that the author created than for the plot. "

" it was okay. Not as much action as the cover would make you believe. It wasn't a book that I couldn't put down, and I love those types of books best. But, it was a well written book. "

" I liked this book because it had a lot of unexpected twists and turns. The story ended suddenly with lots of pages left. When I checked the extra pages, I realized the author had put in a dictionary of the new words in her book. That probably would have been helpful as I was reading the story... "
