Amazing book. I did not think I would enjoy it but I am really convinced that it happened.

So imaginative, but a great read.

Would recommend to everyone!

DID NOT FINISH

Tried this multiple times over the years but it's just too slow and flowery for me

One of the best fantasy journeys ever written

markuksen's review against another edition

5.0

Tämän kirjan myötä hyppäsin varhaisteininä kirjallisuuden syvään päätyyn. Erinomainen tapa koukuttaa nuoria kundeja on kirjoittaa seikkailu, jonka taustalla on koko ajan surumielinen tunne unohdetusta historiasta, katoavasta tiedosta, suuresta vaaran tunnusta ja luotettavasta kaveruudesta. En ole lukenut mitään kirjaa kokonaan yhtä monta kertaa kuin tätä.

Tämän kirjan jälkeen luulin pitäväni fantasiakirjallisuudesta ja yritin hirveän monta kertaa toistaa Tolkienin kirjoista saamaani kokemusta - onnistumatta siinä ikinä ja jouduin toteamaan, etten pidä fantasiakirjallisuudesta. Pidän Tolkienista.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. An interesting classic that I greatly enjoyed reading (although it took me a long time to get through).
