Summary: A fantastic book for seven-year-olds who like fantasy
Comment: This book is absolutely brilliant! It begins with a boy who doesn't even know his name, washed ashore on the rocky shore of Gwynedd. He cannot remember his past, but he sees a woman, who may be his mother. The story gets properly started when Emrys finds out the name of the strange pendant that a person who claims to be his mother always wears. The pendant is called Galator, and turns out to have vast magic powers. But evil forces are looking for it. Always surprising, with exciting twists and turns, this book also has a great central character in Emrys. You can't help liking him because he's lost and lonely, but kind to growing things. This book and its sequels are for people who are thoroughly interested in Arthurian books, and in what happens to Merlin in his young life. It should be especially interesting for people who like magic and fantasy.

Summary: The Lost Years of Merlin--Incredible
Comment: This book is simply one of the most amazing books I have ever read. T.A. Barron's ability to conjure such an amazing world gives it an almost lifelike quality, as if could have actually taken place. The engaging plot will have you rooted to the spot until the story is finished. As time progresses, you will explore the changes that Merlin finds within himself, and how he greatly affects the world around him. His presence on the island of Fincayra creates a whole new chapter in history, explaining how many things in modern day Merlin tales came about.
At long last, the story of Merlin's childhood comes about, and it could not have been portrayed in a more imaginative, creative, or realistic way. It is astounding how T.A. Barron created a world that complemented Merlin's history so well, despite the fact that it does not include a plethora of historical references. This is simply a revolutionary book in the world of fantasy and should be read many times over by lovers of any genre. The adventures of Merlin are truly amazing.

Summary: just so shallow...
Comment: Spoiler Warning.
There are few books that I can find that I could personally find a better way to write it - this is one of them. It was painfully predictable - and get this. The dude is practically blind, and plainly says it's hard to see - then lists a million details. Is it just me, or is that wrong? In addition, I didn't like the writing style. At all. Randomly, our of the blue, things happen. Two characters were chatting, and boom! Six heavily armed goblins appear! Me, here's what I would have done. I would have built up the suspense - let the reader know something's out there before I introduce them. Next, the mom of the guy - the author plainly stated she wasn't the mother. I mean, come on! Be reasonable! A scene that just killed me what when a whole sequence was about eating. God. It's food. Get over it. What else can I say? Oh yeah, when the main character finds out who his dad is, it's just so cliche. Is this Star Wars? The sad thing is, in Star Wars, it worked! In this... it just didn't fly. If you actually want depth, don't read this book. You won't get any.
