The Elfstones of Shannara Audiobook

" Much, much better than the first book. There were a few oddities, but I thought this was an original story and very interesting. I love when multiple stories are happening at the same time and you care about all the stories equally instead of wanting to skip over one to get back to the other. Brooks does a good jof of making all the stories interesting in the book. "

" Did my getting even a couple years older make Brooks' "Sword of Shannara" sequels seem suckier? Or did he really get less interesting? Anyway, I didn't enjoy this one all that much, long ago and far away. "

" This is one of my favorite series. "

" I read this one long ago. I remember that it felt quite shallow after the epic "Sword of Shannara." Like the middle chapter of many trilogies, it is high on action and low on plot. Don't let this dissuade you from reading the excellent conclusion, "Wishsong of Shannara," though. "

" Another incredible read. A very original story this time. It seems that Terry Brooks is coming up with some ideas of his own. Very refreshing and very thrilling. However good the book was, I have to make one negative comment on it: the relationship between Wil and Amberle went way too far. It just made Wil look like a retard. That being said THe Elfstones of Shannara was great! And I L-O-V-E-D the Reaper! It was such a cool villain! But Dagdra Mor was just a joke. They made him out to be this all-powerful and incredibly evil demon. Hah! Hah! Hah! "

" I enjoyed the characters in the book. The quest they went on for the Bloodstone was great, didn't care for the long descriptions of the battle portions of the book. I found the end of the book to be a surprise. Now I have to decide if I want to go on and read the third book. "

" Another master story teller in the world of fantasy. "

" More original than the first book in the trilogy, it still drew too many paralles to Lord of The Rings for my liking. "

" I enjoyed it just as much as the first. "

" This book will always hold a special place in my heart as the first sci-fi/fantasy book I ever read. "

" Classic fantasy..siigh.. and the hero is a gurl .. talk about your icing on the cake "

" Once again caught up in the Shannara books by TB! Forgot just how suspenseful and scary this second book of the trilogy is. To be hunted over the river and through the woods kept me reading and wondering if my door was locked and window shut......Viva Perk of the Sky Elves!! "

" The sequel to "The Sword of Shannara". An excellent follow up to the first that is much better written. My favorite of the first three books. "

" These are one of the first fantasy books I read. I read them in junior high and enjoyed them. "

" A decent sequel. However the whole angst over using the Elfstones seemed just too drawn out. "

" My favorite of all of Brooks' books. "

" I first read Terry Brooks when I was in Junior High....He was better than JRR Tolkien to me! fantastic epic story of good vs evil !!! "

" good "

" The first of the Shannara books that I ever read, as a result it holds a rather special place in my heart. It is a lot like most of the Shannara series but you won't tire of the efforts of just one young Wil must do to save his world from the ancient threat all but forgotten. "

" The best of all of the Shannara series. An great story. "

" This was a good fantasy book. Had a hard time getting into the book, but stayed with it and was glad I did in end. "

" this is my favorite of the original trilogy "

" Perfect mix of Romance and Action :3 "

" Really good. And very original. "

" Entertaining, but not moving or overly memorable. "

" Great book! Many steps above the Sword of Shannara. The writing has improved significantly. "

" My brother's favorite book of all time, but I prefer his later series. "

" This is the kind of stuff I read and don't tell anyone about... "

" The ending seemed a bit rushed. "

" Dan and I read this together. It was entertaining and I'll read the other books in this series with him, but probably wouldn't on my own. "

" The ending seemed a bit rushed. "

" I read this book years and years ago, but it started my love of fantasy novels. I read it before Sword of Shannara, and it stood well on its own. It's one of my all time favorite books, but that might be because it was possibly the first novel I truly fell in love with. "

" I have read all the Shannara series and this one is still my favorite by far. "

" Another master story teller in the world of fantasy. "

" By far my favorite Brooks book. The action scenes were very well thought out and described without the gore. I highly recommend for young readers. "

" This is one of my favorite series. "

" i just like the Shannara series, kinda slow at first but then toward the middle i couldnt put em down and had to read em all. love it "

" Great plot! Lots of magic "

" The second book of the trilogy is vastly improved from the first. The characters elicit more empathy, the plot and pace are more compelling, and the character of magic is more fully developed. "

" The characters of this books are what set the precedent of the Shannara Series. Elves, elfstones, and much more. I've read this book about fifteen times and finally found a copy in book resale. Highly recommend! "

" In my favorites to read "

" A decent sequel. However the whole angst over using the Elfstones seemed just too drawn out. "

" Started to re read Terry Brooks. I enjoy visiting old friends. "
