The Legend of the Wandering King Audiobook

" A glorious use of the English language to tell a mesmeric tale. Beautiful. I shall re-read it often. "

" This is a fabulous, lyrical story with magical carpets and djinns and trips though the desert. I love it!!! "

" Arabian Nights tale of the destructive powers of envy and the price for redemption.Remeniscent of the Alchemist, simple in a fable sort of way, yet beautiful to the mind's eye. "

" I read this book when I was twelve and I still love it. This book made me enjoy reading. I couldn't put it down till I finished it and that's saying something of a twelve-year-old lazy girl. "

" This is one of those new-agey books that you're almost embarrassed to admit that you liked because you fear that, in a few year's time, you'll read it again and think it's corny. Does that happen to anybody besides me? Anyway, this story of a king who uses his position to punish an innocent man is full of beautiful phrases and lovely philosophical thoughts. It's not dumbed down at all for the intended audience, which is nice. Yeah, there were a few moments where I was disappointed, but all in all, it was surprisingly Dickensian in form, and has a lot to say about destiny and free will and what makes a person good. Enjoyable. "

" I liked this book, it isn't often that I like books that have been translated but this was a good exception especailly after having read the Alchemist, kind of a similar feel. "

" like the idea of the book , it is light and funny story but the way she writes the story is marvelous "

" I accidentally burned the library copy of this book with a candle.. It was definitely noticeable, but I never heard any accusations. :] "

" I liked it, but I actually expected it to be a bit more poetic. Maybe it lost a bit in translation? "

" One of my favourite books when I was little! And I didn't like to read at that time! "

" aside from the eye catching cover, the story (to me) is similar to the alchemist, although this is simpler. i was able to emphatize with the charcter especially the part when he lost the contest. "

" I enjoyed this book very much. The lessons are made a little too obvious, but it is a truly lovely story. "

" A beautifully written story which is somewhat similar to 'The Alchemist'. "

" A weekend read. This story would fit easily into 1001 Arabian Nights. "

" Interesting look at bedouin life, poetry, and character growth. "

" The books had its moments, it is ok. There are good parts and bad parts of the books but I'm not telling you. First you gotta read the book to find out. "

" An interesting book, good for YA and feels very much like an allegory or traditional moral storytelling. I would only recommend it to those who have lots of time for reading. "

" translated from Spanish; this is a beautiful and thought provoking tale from the middle east-- labeled JF but would be good for middle schoolers and great read aloud. "

" This book is one of my favorites because it teaches an amazing lesson on changing wiht your heart and it's very well written. Anyone who is looking for a short but deep book should read this! "

" 5/11/10 Terribly predictable and not imaginative in any other way that would make up for that. They even tell you how it ends at the beginning. : ( "
