The Hound of Rowan Audiobook

" I know this book was kind of a rip off of Harry Potter, but it was really good! "

" I felt that Henry H. Neff writes almost too much like J.K. Rowling The plot is almost the same accept with Irish mythology. If his next book is better, I will read the last book. If not, this is just another Harry Potter wannabe book:( "

" Enjoyed it, but it skipped over certain scenes that could have been very interesting and fun to read. I'm sure this was done to save space, but at the same time it was disappointing. "

" the jury is still out on this one...i found myself doing a lot of comparisons to harry potter...almost all of the action came in the last 2 chapters...i'm going to read the next book to see how it goes...i don't know "

" I liked it more than the other books in the series. It really held my attention. "

" One of the most blatant Harry Potter rip-offs I've seen. Honestly, the resemblance haunted every chapter! "

" I loved this book, I found it hard to put down. I can't wait to read more of the series! "

" This was a good read. Definitely follows in the Harry Potter tradition--boy has untapped extraordinary skills and must go away to a special hidden school to train--but fun nonetheless. "

" Excellent quest story. Modern answer to Harry Potter. Did everyone really need to have ethnically-matching names, though? I look forward to reading more in the series. "

" This was good, reminiscent of Harry Potter but then finds its own story. "

" This is a great book that you acnt put down "

" Could use some polish, but overall an excellent first novel. Have high hopes for the next volume. "

" Honestly, I thought as I began that this would be a Harry Potter knockoff, but it really was its own book. Great storyline. I really enjoyed it "

" A poor man's "Harry Potter". Too many similarities to just be coincidence. Leaves you wanting the real thing. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a bit like Harry Potter and slow to start. Once you got past the beginning it was a plesant surprise. "

" It's a fun book. An American Harry Potter. "

" This book was very good. Completley terrifying in some parts, but it was not a Harry Potter spin off. It was similar, yet very different. Nbody waves wands around. The dorms are quite unique. And they have training couses, similar to a virtual realty video game. "

" This is a creative series - really enjoying it! The age range seems low (8+) - this is more like a Harry Potter kind of story, where the good vs. evil battle forces the young hero to face intense challenges and make sacrifices. "

" This is the BEST book ever! My all time favorite. I can't believe I didn't read it sooner. "

" I got this one for my 8 year old, but I ended up reading it 1st. On the surface, another Harry Potter ripoff, but after a while it begins to set itself apart. Engaging characters and good story. The 2nd book is good, too. "

" This is an amazing book. The imagery that Neff uses is vivid, clear, and wildly creative. It allowed a creatively stunted person like me to imagine Max's experience. Blows Harry Potter out of the water. Get this book when it comes out this fall. "

" The American Harry Potter, but the characters and magic were different enough that it didn't feel like a copy cat (too much). And not as much character development. It's hard not to compare! "

" I liked it but it was very similar to Harry Potter. I hope the rest of the books in the series are a little more different. "

" Charming and unique. I flew through this book and can hardly wait to start the next. The Celtic influences captured my attention, and the charming, fun characters drew me in and made it impossible not to grow attached. "

" Was AAAMMMAAAZZING!!!!! When is the fourth book coming out??? I am honestly surprised this is a debut but this is what it takes to become a writer nowadays. It was one of the best books I ever read. I like his website too. NICK RULES!!!!!!! "

" This book gets a lot of comparisons to Harry Potter but I have to say, it's quite different. The main character does share some similarities but is still very different. I quite enjoyed the book and promptly bought the second one as soon as this one was done. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a bit like Harry Potter and slow to start. Once you got past the beginning it was a plesant surprise. "

" Micah-I liked this book because it was exiting and mysterious.I also liked all the creatures and magic. I am really exited to read the next book to this series. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The premise is a lot of fun and the characters are interesting. I'm excited to read the next one! "

" If I could I would probably give this book 3 1/2 stars. I liked it but not enough for 4 stars. "
