Title: I - BE - GONE
Product review: My 14-year old niece didn't care for this book and I should have listened to her before buying it. I'm halfway through the first book and have already lost interest. This is just my opinion and I don't mean to be harsh, but I feel that if I were to take transcripts of "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" and shuffle them both together, I'd get "Eragon". I do believe that with proper schooling, this young author will have a bright career and I hope he'll consider a re-write of this novel. I'm sure that I would have enjoyed this attempt more if the characters spoke in traditional old-english OR new-modern dialect, as I found that blending the speaking styles was distracting. I also would have preferred less repetitive conversation and more action. The first 2 chapters were good, but after that became tedious. So, I think that the book is too wordy for kids under the age of 13 and not sophisticated enough for those who are older. Sorry.
