Book Reviews of The Wild Road
Book Review: A Captivating Story and a Philosophical Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wild Road tells the story of two ancient souls and their encounters throughout time. One is the Majicou, and the other is the Alchemist. The Alchemist has been searching for understanding of the universe, but he has been approaching the problem in all the wrong ways. The Majicou is the guardian of great secrets that humans may not be privy to, and the Alchemist will go to any lengths to learn.This is a story of magic and mysticism, loyalty and courage, as a group of feline friends set out to defend something which they themselves do not quite understand. It is also a story about how everyone can make a difference to the world, however insignificant their lives may seem.
The storytelling gathers more and more potence as the novel progresses, transporting the reader to times and places seen anew, through the eyes of other creatures. I highly recommend this powerful tale, it is a captivating story and a philosophical journey.
Book Review: A Exciting Story.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a cat lover and a fantasy lover, This book was the ideal mix of the two. When I first heard of it I was a little skeptical...but it will not dissapoint you! It's story line is mystical and firm....and its characters are intrigueing and interestting. I would recommend this book. I have read Tolkien, and this book does not compare to that in the slightist bit, but it is good, and if you enjoy a good fantasy novel you will like it. Its sequal is just as exciting if not better!Book Review: A Purrfect Read!
Summary: 4 Stars
This definitely belongs in the hall of fame of animal tales, alongside Watership Down and Tailchaser's Song. Gabriel King shows a mastery of characterization, flowing storytelling, and beautiful imagery. His poetic descriptions, such as the sunlight investigating everthing it came in contact with on the boat Guillemot, before curling up like a cat, left me in awe. The ending of the battle between the Majicou and the Alchemist recalled the eternally battling dragons from Arthurian legend.Book Review: A Really Nice Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this book, and its sequel. Anyone who likes fantasy and cats would also.Book Review: A Wild Ride On The Wild Road
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you're not a cat lover, this book won't fail to intrigue you. It's a mgical journy of cats surviving in the wild as they see life through feline eyes and interpret it so. Their simple philosophy on different situations made me laugh, cry and ponder my life situations. The story is so absorbing that at times I forgort I was reading what a cat was thinking. This was one of a few books that I couldn't wait to read every night and was sad to see it end. I'm giving a copy to all my cat owner friends. Put it in the top ranks with Watership Down.
