Book Reviews of The Last Unicorn
Book Review: A Magnificent Fairy Tale For All Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching the movie quite a few times, I decided it was time to read the book. So I did, and at first I didn't like it too terribly well, but after reading it again and seriously taking a good look at it, I loved it. The author writes with a rather unusual style, but that's what makes this book so unique. I love unicorns (I've always been a bit of a fantasy fan), and this is one of the best books about them that you can find on the shelf. Sure, there are a few thematic elements here and there that I could have done without, and there is a bit of cussing from time to time, but the story itself makes this product a keeper. If you haven't read this book yet, I highly recommend that you do so.Book Review: A Timeless Story not to be Missed
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child, my sister and I watched this beautiful movie over and over until the colour had faded and the sound was poor, but to this day my sister watches it still. The characters were unforgettable and the animation unique and exquisite. Was I surprised to find that there was a book, and that it had come first? Yes. I was sceptical at first, but my reservations melted as I fell in love with Beagle's story. His writing does my favourite characters more justice than the screen,. His story will take on new meaning for everyone who reads it and learns to love it. Not just a silly tale about a unicorn, Beagle's story is witty, daring, fun, and magical. A timeless book you'll regret not reading... again and again! There's something for everyone in Beag'es books. And, if you're interested, there is a history to the animation of The Last Unicorn that is simplyenchanting. I'm not sorry that I've spent hours of my adult life watching the movie and reading the book, and neither will you be. Find out and see! Remember: it is a very rare person who is taken for what he truly is. Enjoy!Book Review: A Timeless Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has become a classic and is a must for the believers at heart. If you were not a believer, the book will make you wonder, and it does cause you to yearn for that first site of a Unicorn. Would we be able to recognise one or would we be more like the unbelievers and only see what we expect. This is a fabulous book for both young and old and I have not been without a copy since I first read it when it came out. This book is a fabulous read, and leaves you Yearning.......
Book Review: A True Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter S. Beagle writes with such clarity and eloquence, that one sometimes doesn't recognize how truly brilliant his work is. He makes it all look too darned easy. As an author, editor, and fantasy reader for over 25 years, this book still stands out as being one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to read. For those of you who have only seen the movie version, do yourself a favor. Pick up this book now.Book Review: A beautiful book from start to finish

It is a beautiful well written book of the unicorn who hears her people are lost or trapped by the Red Bull hearing this by a butterfly who is quite chatting and such so she goes on the journey meeting up with the magician yet Mommy Fortuna tells her of The Red Bull and how it lives within the castle of King Haggard and the woman, Molly Grue who both acompany her on the jounery yet alas they are near the kingdom and well you ll have to get the book to find out for yourself of how it ends for I wont be the one who spoils it for you.
