		<description><![CDATA[A+ For the last several years I&#8217;ve been telling myself that I need to read Dune, one of the all-time classic works of Science Fiction. And yet, I never seemed to get around to it, being distracted by other exciting sci-fi and fantasy series. So when I finally picked up Frank Herbert&#8217;s masterwork, I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[B- Though I truly enjoyed Eragon and Eldest immensely, I found Christopher Paolini&#8217;s third novel in the Inheritance Cycle to be simply boring. If you have read this book and you feel otherwise, just ask yourself what actually happened? See if you can come up with three things that were actually crucial to Eragon&#8217;s development [...]]]></description>

The Dresden Files are quickly shaping up to be an excellent series, filled with non-stop, ass-kicking action. The series protagonist, Harry Dresden, is a wizard and private investigator of supernatural mysteries who seems to encounter adventure at every turn. [...]]]></description>

Recently, I began to notice that many of novels in Jim Butcher&#8217;s Dresden Files series were frequently in the top seller list. I looked into them a little more and found that they sounded pretty interesting and that they all got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[B+ The third novel in Stephen King&#8217;s Dark Tower saga entitled The Waste Lands was an engaging read that I enjoyed more than the second novel. My primary complaint about the second novel, The Drawing of Three, was that some of the main characters were difficult to connect with. The third novel greatly alleviated that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[C After thoroughly enjoying Stephen King&#8217;s first novel in the Dark Tower saga, The Gunslinger, I had pretty high expectations for the second in the series, The Drawing of Three. Unfortunately, I came away a little disappointed. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, The Drawing of Three was a decent read, but it just wasn&#8217;t nearly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A The Gunslinger is the first of seven books that make of Stephen King&#8217;s Dark Tower series. The novel is made up of five short stories that were originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction between 1978 and 1981. In 1982, the five parts were combined and published as a single work, one that King had begun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A- J. R. R. Tolkien&#8217;s The Children of Hurin was, to no surprise, very well written and exceptionally compelling. However, if you are a loyal Tolkien fan and have read The Silmarillion then you already know the tragic tale of Hurin&#8217;s descendants and this novel will offer little further enlightenment. The Children of Hurin is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[B+ The Dark Is Rising is the second book (chronologically) in Susan Cooper&#8217;s five part series of the same name. The series is geared towards children, but can still be entertaining and meaningful for adults. I found The Dark Is Rising to be an enjoyable fantasy story in likeness in style to C. S.

		<description><![CDATA[A- Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s The Road is a symbolic and emotional story of a man and his son as they struggle to survive in a bleak, post-apocalyptic North America. McCarthy&#8217;s minimalistic writing style compliments the setting he creates, a barren land of death and decay where no plant grows, nearly all food has been pillaged or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[B+ Susan Cooper&#8217;s first novel in her The Dark Is Rising sequence is a subtle introduction of wholesome adventure. Originally published in 1965, the novel feels very much like C. S. Lewis&#8217; The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe without as much fantasy and magic. The novel follows the Drew children as they vacation along [...]]]></description>

Originally published in 1964, Alexander&#8217;s work is simple, yet entertaining, targeted towards children ages nine to twelve. I first heard of The Chronicles of Prydain at Amazon.com as I was looking into some other novels. The Chronicles of Prydain [...]]]></description>
