Stephen S. reviewed on 10/29/2011

I believe that Terry Brooks is one of 2 or 3 of the best Science Fiction Fantasy authors writing today. I have every one of his books and had somehow missed Shannara. I was fortunate enough to find it through Paperback Swap and enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't believe it's one of his best works, but it's certainly excellent. If you're a fan of the genre, it's a must read. It can be read as a stand alone piece, but it's much better when read as part of the trilogy "High Druid of Shannara". Excellent story line and unusually creative. Good dialog and unusually good characters. I rate it 4 stars instead of 5 only because Brooks as set the bar so high with many others of his works. A definite "must read" regardless!
