Title: The Island of Dr Brooks
Review: Take a massive helping of Tolkien, sprinkle with a touch of Arthurian legend and hey presto the 'Sword of Shannara'. I couldn't get into this book at all as I had already read a much better, more dramatic version with far superior characters called 'Lord of the Rings'.I knew what would happen in this book at almost every step because it follows Tolkien's book so closely. Do yourself a favor Read 'Lord of the Rings' if you want monsters, battles and magic OR read the 'Warded Man' for a truly new fantasy experience.
