Review:

I have read this book/series so many times over the last 11 years, but it is still as enchanting as it was the first time I read it. These books will never get old and I'll never tire of reading them - they are just too good. The complexity of the world and the characters are so amazing that they sweep you along with the story. As the first book in the series it does a fantastic job of building the world up for you. There is not much else I can say about this book other than it's AMAZING! 

Recommended Audience:

I don't think there's many people left in the world that have not read this book/series. But anyone whose watched the films and hasn't read the book(s) for fear of being let down...READ IT! You won't be disappointed.
