The Wishsong of Shannara (Abridged) Audiobook

" This series introduced me to the joy of reading. It will allways have a special place in my heart. "

" I love this trilogy! As a huge fan of fantasy this had everything I could want in it. Danger, excitement, a great story line, and characters that I fell to love. For a fantasy fan, I would definately recommend these books! "

" I loved all the Shannara books by Terry Brooks. He is a FABULOUS fantasy writer. Be prepared: once you start you'll be reading forever, as he is very prolific! "

" This is an epic fantasy tale that really feels immense. I think it has something to do with creatures and monsters and so forth. Seem to be quite a few memorable ones. "

" The whole time reading this I kept getting reminded of "The Lord of The Rings" "

" Spectacular stories. I loved reading these. "

" These were among the first fantasy novels I read (that were targeted to an adult audience). I really liked them, and they are full of interesting ideas. However, some of the characters are a bit shallow, and sometimes the story is a little weighed down by unnecessary detail. Overall, I enjoyed them. "

" i never could get into these books. i know they are classics but it just didn't keep my attenton. "

" High fantasy is routinely done better than this. Don't read it. "

" As far as high fantasy goes, pitch-perfect. "

" Couldn't finish it, I was only in page 73. Soo boring and too much detail in the little things. Though I am fully aware this Is my opinion only. "

" My husband proposed to me with this book. He cut out the middle of it and hid the ring inside. We had been reading it together on a blanket under a tree over the summer. He loved Terry Brooks books - so I gave them a shot - there are one or two I really liked. "

" My favorite book of all time!! I keep rereading it. "

" All three books are enjoyable reads. The only reason I gave them 3 stars instead of 4 is because I got the sense I was reading other versions of Tolkien's Lord Of the Rings. "

" I was looking for something like The Lord of the Rings and to be honest this didn't really do it for me. I did try but I just couldn't engross myself into this world and in the end I just decided to leave it at that, having already bought more books in the series. "

" Great to catch up. Reading whole series from Genesis. "

" Decent series. "

" If you are interested in the Shannara series I would recommend getting the hardcover trilogy book. "

" It does seem a whole lot like The Lord of the Rings, but the author says quite clearly that it was his inspiration, so he never claims to be anything more. That said, it's pretty darn good. "

" Two words... In tolerable. "

" Amazing book , gripping and captivating all the way through , fantastic read "

" Typical reluctant hero battles overwhelming evil with an Achilles' heel. The battle scenes are difficult to follow. I couldn't really get into these books. "

" Each novel had captivating main characters, with a full and developed cast. I loved not only the adventure at every turn but all of the relationships that developed throughout all three novels. Definitely a fantasy favorite. "

" I can't wait to read the next one in this series. "

" As always the fanatasy world of of Terry Brook's was engrossing and thrilling. The pace of the book however I found staggared and only gained worthwile momentum within the last 20 pages, as part of a duology the book certainly leaves you wanting more. "

" I am a fan of Terry Brooks', and I liked all his novels. The element that I prefer is the environment. Brooks manages to bring the reader inside his world and feel it. Unfortunately I was not very font of the characters this time. "

" Start of a new series. Should be good. "

" Loved this one it was a little different than the authors usual plot in most of his other books. "

" Another great Terry Brooks! Can't wait for more!! - DOE "

" Another saga not impressed with but provides insight following the other sagas "

" This is the first of the Shannara series that I read. It was a good way to get back into fantasy fiction, which I have been missing lately. Fun and interesting premise and good characters. I will enjoy tracking down the rest of the series. "

" A slow starter for me that didn't really get my attention until the last 50 or so pages. But I'm sure the massive amount of set-up in the first book will yield great story in the next installment of the series. Full of what Brooks does best, including the cliffhanger ending! "

" loved it, but I love all the shannara books! "

" Excellent first part of a trilogy! I am dying to read book number two! "

" This is just one book in a number of series tying the Word & void series together with the Shannara series. Terry Brooks in my opinion is an incredible author and to have him tie these to story lines together is a great work in itself. I highly recommend all of his works. "
