the best "war book" I've read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
beyond the burning lands by John Christopher... I finished it last weekend, and I won't lie, I waited for monday just to check out the next by christopher. I LOVE this series, and I can't wait to finish this one. I personally think its better than the harry potter series, but thats just me. This is serious and darker than Harry Potter, and also embodies what one undergoes in life, no matter what the situation. sadness, lies, anger, hatred are allcharacteristics of a human. Christopher Hooked me on the first book, The Prince In Waiting, and I absolutely loved it. The Structure and dramaticism is incredible and the way he transposes his characters into feelings we can all relate to, And Luke, most of all being a confused man in a changing world.
The best of the three
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The pacing is odd at times and the book could have done with the last couple of chapters being stretched out somewhat, but in the end this is a fairly satisfying read. The best part, from the point of view of someone who has read most of John Christopher's post-apocalyptic young adult fiction (bizarre genre, no?), is that Christopher *finally* manages to develop some decently written, even believable, female characters. Pity that strength is set to crash and burn in the third volume of the series.
