Book Reviews of Master and Fool (The Book of Words , Vol 3)
Book Review: You will not want to put this book down.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Book of Words (series) is on par with Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Series. I only wish that Ms. Jones could have continued the series it was so good. Starting with the Baker's boy, Ms. Jones moves from character to character letting us into their thoughts. Unlike so many science ficiton/fantasy books, the heroes of her stories suffer real trials and do not magically make it past every crisis. Her writing is "simple" which makes for a good read. Whoever reads this book will enjoy the battle between good and evil and will understand where there is one, there will always be another. I highly recommend buying the complete series, you may read them all in one week.Book Review: wonderful series
Summary: 5 Stars
I am fourteen years old and have just finished the first two books in the "Book of Words" trilogy. J.V. Jones is a superb author. All of her characters have a life of their own, from haunted Jack, to proud Melli and the hilarious conversations of Bodger and Grift. I am currently halfway through with "Master and Fool." To anyone who feels daunted by any of the comments above, do not let them stop you from running to the nearest bookstore. You will find a rare treasure in this series.Book Review: Horrible, disappointing ending to a fantastic series
Summary: 2 Stars
As a whole, this was a fantastic series. It was fresh, absorbing, and filled with excitement. I would rate the series and this book as well, as a 10 if it wasn't for the last 80 pages of the book (and the ending to the series.) Quite simply, this was the worst ending I think I've ever read. It almost seemed as if the author just got tired of writing or being creative and decided to end it. As a whole, the series was filled with dark overtones and a overbearing sense of awaiting doom. Without ruining the ending, I'll just say that it is pure cheese. It left me feeling angry and cheated. Having loved the series so much, I was so so tempted to write up an alternate ending of the way things SHOULD have ended. But in the end, I just wanted to forget about the whole sad affair. I was looking forward to Jones' new books, but after this piece of crap ending, I no longer am. It might seem as if I'm being overdramatic, but after getting so involved with a great story, it is such a major letdown to have about 10 pure-luck coincidences occur within 50 pages to pull out a perfect, happy, everything-works-out-for-good-in-the-end ending when it deserved so much more. Maybe after I cool off for a bit I'll feel better...Book Review: An excellent third book to an excellent series
Summary: 5 Stars
An extreamly well written book that keeps the readers reading. Never while reading did I feel that the plot was old, or the book was boring. I wanted to finish, and even though the ending was somewhat predictable, the story of the Bakers boy and his love and their friend enough to keep the book interesting.Book Review: Stunning conclusion (all questions are answered)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been burning to know who Jack really is, where he comes from, how he could possibly save the realm from the evil plottings of Baralis and Kylock. J.V. Jones ties up all the loose ends and delivers another up-all-night book
