Okay I have been a little behind in my book reviews, so here are two to make up for last week and this week!


Stardust by Neil Gaiman

In the sleepy English countryside of yeas past, is the small village of Wall that has stood on a spot of granite for about six hundred years. Just outside of the village stands a high stone wall, for which it is named. Here in Wall, young Tristran Thorn has fallen hopelessly in love with the beautiful Victoria Forester. One night, as they watch the sky, a shooting star falls from the sky, and Victoria promises to marry Tristran if he would just that star and bring it back to her. It is this promise that sends Tristran through a gap in the wall, across the meadow, and into the most unforgettable adventure of his life. For there is a reason the wall stands there, and it doesn't just seperate one meadow from another. Tristran encounters witchs, feuding brothers, a star that is not what he thought it would be, and even lightning catching sky pirates. This wild ride is a delight and about a billion times better than the movie!



Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind

In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help ... and more. Without slightest knowledge of what he was to get into; his world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. Richard, Kahlan, and Zed (an old family friend of Richards, who is much more than he appears) set out to literally save the world from bad guy. The bad guy, Lord Rhal, is as a bad as they come and he will do anything to get his hands on Richard and Kahlan...why them, well they both carry secrets that could save or possibly destroy the world.

For those of you that have seen the TV series "Legend of the Seeker" this is the book it is all based on, and one that will capture the imagination, and keep you up late at night reading just one more page.
