Are all you people giving this book a five star review drunk, 11 years old or just stupid? This books is terrible. It's a cookie-cutter rehash of about a trillion other pulp fantasy novels that have been written over the last 20 years, and it's not even a very good one. Half the reviews I see trumpet how this was written by a teenager---I'd argue that's blindingly obvious, and perhaps the publisher should have kept that under wraps. This books is a disgrace. I wouldn't wipe my @$$ with it...All you kiddies writing in with 5 star reviews should go back to your D+D and Magic games and leave book reviewing to people who can actually drive cars. Pathetic.
