The Ruins of Gorlan (Ranger's Apprentice Book 1 )

It's a very good book. Exciting, interesting.

The book was marked 10+ as im 22 i was a little worried that the book would be lets say fast with no content in it. i was wrong the book was a easy read yes but not in a bad way it was written so well it seemed the flow right into my mind. there was a lot going on in the book action conflict and for a kids book well its hard to call it a kids book at all really because it was such a good all rounder there was fun and parts that make you laugh but there was also a solid story. the book kept me happy and i really did enjoy it the charters were strong and likeable and the book for it size was jam packed. i really cant wait to buy the next book.

This is now one of my favourite series. The writing is neither overly simple or overly complex and the characters are developed enough so as not to make them unbearable, the descriptions are vivid adn teh idea, whilst not very unique are still very good. Wrongly this is being compared to Eragon, which is decidedly worse, whilst eragon is way too long and boring, rangers apprentice or quick and very enjoyable reads. With battles and great plot lines a plenty this is an awesome series of books that every boy should read, particulairly the younger generations who want to escape to a fantasy world that isn't too hard to get into.

This is book 1 of 11 so far and so, much of this one is focusing on introducing you to the main characters. This is not a negative thing as there is still lots going on and is a great coming of age plot line. Although most of the book is in Will's (the main young hero) point of view there are a few chapters told from some the other characters view. This is a great way to show you Will in another light.I have the next 2 in the series which I will be reading next and hoping to enjoy as much as this one. My 2 boys aren't old enough for these yet but I will be recommending them to them soon as I think this is a great book for teenagers.

if you love harry potter then u will love this book!
