review 1: This is a great story. Like Leapike Ridge was a modern-day retelling of The Odyssey for boys, this is a fast paced retelling of Beowulf in modern-day Florida with high school football, sugar cane harvest, the importance of fathers (whether good or bad), the strong bond of family...

review 1: I really didn't like this book. I found that that characters were all split up, so the book followed several different plot lines that didn't really connect until the end. Due to the abnormally long chapters, every time the book switched characters, I could no longer remember wha...

review 1: Henry is exceptional, we only get to see this because in the third book the world is placed on shoulders. This trilogy sucks you into sympathizing with the characters, you become attached to the story. Henry is a protagonist you can relate to. The first two books nicely set up...

review 1: I teach this as the first book in Omnibus 1 secondary. It is brilliant. I think it is a marvelous introduction to ancient literature because it takes many ancient themes and makes a modern myth of them. The name dropping in The Dragon's Tooth would make a complete world histo...

review 1: My favorite part about this series is that N.D. Wilson has steeped the story in alternate history, though not as heavily in this book. We encounter characters more than strange artifacts in The Drowned Vault; John Smith, and Gilgamesh to name a couple. While I was getting Harry P...

review 1: I have mixed feeling about this book. The plot was very intriguing and so I read the book. However, It took me a while to actually get into the book, and even then I only kept reading to figure out what happened to quench my curiosity. I liked the characters though, such as Cyrus...

review 1: Yeah, wow, this book, where should I begin!? I think I'll have to read it at least one more time to give a really fair review, but let me say for now that I L-O-V-E this book! It is beautifully deep, and deeply beautiful. Here, Nate Wilson (son of Douglas Wilson) wants his reader...
