review 1: This was a bit better than the last book in this series. Tad Williams is obviously one of those writers who is compelled to do trilogies. This series could have been a great book - but makes an OK 3 - and I suspect we have more to come because there are a lot of loose ends. I gue...

review 1: Awesome after trepidation, I feel like urban fantasy is reaching a level of overload and Tad does high fantasy/world building so well. I was fearful that he had joined the legion of writers jumping on the band wagon and was writing in a less appreciated sub-genre (for myself), le...

review 1: So, I decided to give Mr Dollar another chance as I still hold Mr Williams in quite high regard. The story started off well but then descended into a bit of a turgid mess. I am not sure whether this was to be a modern retelling of Dante's Inferno but it was so long-winded and alm...

review 1: My mission was successful and my 8-year-old is 150 pages into it and keeps telling me it's a really good book. :-)My take: the book definitely kept my interest, and I'm eager to read the sequel when it comes out. I thought the foreshadowing was overly heavy-handed, and rolled my ...

review 1: Es el primero de una saga, pero en castellano sólo se ha publicado el primero y eso fue en el 2010. De todas formas en inglés sólo han salido dos de 5, así que por ese lado tampoco anda la cosa muy animada. El libro está bien para el público más jovencito que se introduzca en la ...

review 1: If John constantine had wings then he would be Bobby Dollar.Okay that's only slightly true. Bobby Dollar is an Earth bound angel and therefore doesn't have wings but he is still an angel. Tad Williams employs a first person hard-boiled narrative which owes a lot to the work of Ch...

review 1: Overall, book 3 was the best so far. Williams kept the action going from chapter to chapter, and the plot almost never slowed down. This was the first in the series that kept me anxious about the characters and excited to jump to the next chapter. Halfway through I began to feel ...

review 1: Muchísimo más ligero de leer que los anteriores, sobre todo porque ya se ha acabado la fase de "presentación de personajes" y los conflictos empiezan a avanzar a buen paso. Ayuda quizás que los dos mellizos, que en los anteriores libros se me atragantaron un poco, han dejado atrá...

review 1: Book three of another trilogy which expanded to be in four parts. Enjoyable, though the pacing was somewhat compromised by it taking me six months to read part three (I finished part two while in labour!) - I look forward to starting book four tomorrow and seeing the conclusion.I...

review 1: This is the Third book in a series of four thick epic fantasy series. Like many middle books it has a tendency to drag a bit. I found that Barriks adventures in Fairy land somewhat tedious and hero's quest. William's novel structure is not as clear. However, despite the rathe...

review 1: Not a bad book, but I didn’t love it as much as I expected, either. I think Tad Williams might be one of those writers that (for me) does epic tales a bit better than short stories. Still, some of these were very, very good, although others weren’t for me. There’s an introduction...
