Fantastic Fantasy

I do not normally enjoy reading fantasy. It's generally not my favorite genre. I've tried to read Lord of the Rings a few times and I just can't seem to get into it. My brother at one time decided if I could only watch the movie I would surely fall in love and read the books. Needless to say it didn't happen. I did try but left the room after the first 15 minutes. I have read The Chronicles of Narnia. I can't say I list them as my favorite books, but I have read them. I even own and have watched The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe dvd. I've watched it once.

But this book, now this book is hugely different. I was not able to put On The Edge of The Dark Sea of Darkness down. This book by singer/songwriter and recording artist, Andrew Peterson. (yes, it is that Andrew Peterson, the one you hear on the radio. At least my dear man plays his music.)

In this book you are introduced to Toothy cows, horned hounds and the Fangs of Dang. This book has parts that are absolutely tummy splitting hilarious and other parts that heart racing scary...no scary isn't the word. Intense, edge of you seat action that leave you breathless and a little chagrined you were so worried. You find yourself giggling the little giggle that is so common to humans when we've just been scared half to death.

This is a must-read book for 2008! Out of 5 stars I'll give it 10!
