In the land of Birddom, a terrible danger is spreading. Magpies and crows, led by the vicious Slyekin and his assassin Traska, have taken control by hunting down and exterminating one gentle species after another. But in the face of slaughter, a brave robin named Kirrick leads the charge against Slyekin. Flying to every corner of Birddom, Kirrick rallies eagles, owls and an assortment of other creatures to resist the menace. Before One for Sorrow, Two for Joy could even land on bookshelves, it was optioned by the Walt Disney Co. for a major motion picture. A classic epic of good versus evil, this rousing fable has been compared to Watership Down and The Lord of the Rings.

"I have not read this book for a while and it was actually my first audio book but I will never forget how completly captured I was in this book from the first word. I never though a book about birds could be so interesting! I loved the flow of the words and the hardship our hero had to face. " — Hanna (5 out of 5 stars)

" I thought that this was a very good book. It was a lot like Watership Down and Tailchaser's Song. I liked the way the small birds interacted with the larger birds like the owls, seabirds, falcons, and eagles. "
" This is a great book. The main theme seemed to be based off of the ideas of Hitler and the Nazi's. I thought it was very interesting how Woodall used birds to reenact the genocide of the Nazi's. Good fictional book. "
" One of the few books that I have started but been unable to finish. "

" Loved this book, one of my all time favs. "
" It was marked as "Watership Down but with birds" but it doesnt have quite the same depth. And its languages swings between repetative and some times a little dense. Plus it has a rape scene in it, I wasn't expecting that! "
" love the book though its not for children to read since I'm not a child the story itself was many very interesting comparison for me put it in a different perspective about the world and the environment. "
" Let me get strait to the point: I didn't like this book. There we go. "
" It is one of the BEST books I have read. It is filled with suspense and surprises around every corner of the story I recommend it to anyone. "
" Enjoyable animal(bird) characters in an adult story line "
" I guess I liked this book, but I wasn't loving it. The audio was fine, but not compelling, the story interesting but not riveting...maybe some day I'll come back to it, but now is not the time. "
" So glad this is now in kindle version.......waited a whole year ;-)Can't put it down. "
" The concept was very promising, but the execution failed to deliver. The writing was flat and rather mechanical. "
" I listened to this one, very good narrator. A very good, but quite violent story. "
" This would have been a great story... if it was written by a fifteen year old. The writing is really souless and plodding. I couldn't even make it past twenty pages. "
" A horrible book-- the weak storyline couldn't ever justify the amount of gore and violence. "
" While this is an interesting concept, and probably could have been a pretty good book, the author has no sense of pacing. Conflicts were resolved too quickly and easily, for instance. "
" Was a little real for being picked up by Disney. "
" I am actually listening to this as an audio book. "
" at first, I thought this is a book for children. but no, it's for adults XD there are too many blood and gore. but the story is great. I can't put it down. "
