I loved this series and I very much would reread these books and suggest them to friends to read as well. Totally worth the cost for all three!

I was actually trying out the e-books as we were thinking of going to that instead of hard copy. There was not a big selection of free e-books on the site so thought I would just try this one. What a surprise. The book was very good and I will probably buy the next books in the trilogy. The download was easy to read on the computer. However, I believe I will enjoy the e-reader even more.

This book comes in waves. The first chapter or two was boring, then it got really interesting. Then it got boring again. I got it for free from ChristianBook.com, but if I had paid for it I would have been a little miffed, unless it gets better and stays good. I have determined to finish it, but I'm having to force myself to do so. Lawhead has several other books that I greatly enjoyed. I don't intend to ever read this one again. Nor do I intend to read any other books in the series. It moves so slowly that I'm having to re-read a little just to remember what's going on. There were entire pages that I may have only read 1 or 2 paragraphs. The book leaves you with a stight cliff hanger & it doesn't bother me in the slightest that I don't know how it's going to end.

ARTHUR was the first book I read that was authored by Stephen Lawhead. Definitely interesting, but slightly confusing. THE PARADISE WAR answered many questions, and it opened up a whole world full of magic and wonder. Enter the world of the ancient Celts. I very much enjoyed this book. For several reasons. First, I am Celtic. I am one-quarter Irish. Arthur Pendragon has always been my favorite mythical hero. Learning that he was historical thrilled me. Second, I am a history minor at my college. Learning about Celtic culture and history was enthralling. These books were very well-written and told a very good story. And by the way, the word that some have hyped up on as being foul and profane is not. It is a legitimate BIBLICAL word meaning 'illegitimate son.' I do not like the word, but it is not cursing. I heartily recommend this book. It is my favorite of his works.

I read the trilogy when it was first published, and just finished reading them for the second time. These are amazing books. So well written and very entertaining.

This book was dull, weird, had a little bad language, and had lots of gore - enought to make a fan of Frank Peretti and NCIS go pale. This book is totally NOT worth the read. Use your money wisely and go buy some other book!

Sadly I only made it through the first fifty pages of this book. It could have been excellent but the offensive language was too much. Granted, the first three or four words are only meaningful to me because I am British and they are culturally meaningful--words such as 'pillock' wouldn't mean much to an American. But when I got to b*&%$tard I had to put the book down. I'm shocked that Thomas Nelson would publish such a book.Very sad.
