The Outcasts: Brotherband Chronicles, Book 1 Audiobook

" Aside from the main character being named "Hal" (which is a little too similar to "Halt") and some raised eyebrows, this is a decent follow-up/semi-continuation to the Ranger's Apprentice series. "

" Fun adventure story set in Skandia about seafaring men and a group of teenage boys who are training to become warriors. Sets up well at the end to be part of a series. "

" I love the Ranger Apprentice and Brotherband has much the same in action, heart and great characters, but I am just a wee bit tired of Flanagan taking us by the hand in every little thought and action. More often than not it is nice to discover subtleties between characters rather than have them spelled out for the reader. Never-the-less, I will read the next Brotherband, because I have to know if the "bad guys" are caught. "

" Ugh this book looks so good! But I tried reading the first few pages and was completely lost.... really hard to follow and understand... this book seems to get a lot of good ratings but I couldn't follow. Maybe you'll be able to understand it better then me! "

" This book was a great start to the new series. I enjoyed the brotherhood band training, but the end was so much of a cliffhanger!!!! I'm going to check out the next book asap. "

" Same author as Rangers Apprentice. Got a fresh start with this seried. Pretty good start. Good teen book. "

" hal is awesome! i cant wait for the next book! "

" I've been having good luck with books lately-- and this is another one! I will be looking forward to the next installment. "

" I loved this book and I can't wait for the next one!!! "

" Great story, just as good or better than the Ranger's Apprentice stories. "

" A worthy companion to Ranger's Apprentice, Outcasts follows a group of boys through the Brotherband training. Characters are well defined and unique, and the story keeps moving at a steady pace. This is a complete story with a cliffhanger that will set up the future books to come. Recommended. "

" I would have enjoyed this more if it had been read by an editor first. I had a hard time understanding it in several different points in the book. I found that I focused more on the typos then on the story itself. "

" This was a fantastic book. Loved it. "

" Flanagan continues to be one of my favorite authors. The story was compelling and I found myself rooting for the Herons. "

" I loved this book. I liked it better than Flanagan's ranger apprentice series, because after awhile I felt like it was getting reptant. "

" Rolicking good youngster adventure, will read the next. "

" A nice installment that ties into the old series but has a mind of its' own. I give this new series a thumbs up by John Flanagan... "
