I struggled a bit with how high to rate this book. It's definitely not a 4 or 5 star book, but at the same time I can't help but feel that other reviews I read were excessively critical of this book -- and that they were excessively critical largely because they excepted it to be more than it was. So in the end I rated it as a 3 star book (rather than a 2 star book), because, though I came in with low expectations, it met those expectations and entertained me for what it's worth. It's like watching a Bruce Willis action movie -- if you go in expecting an Academy Award winning movie with an incredible sound-track and cinematography, Oscar winning actors, and insights into the human condition, then you're going to be pretty disappointed; but if you go in expecting some explosions, bad one-liners, and an hour and a half of entertainment, then you'll probably go home happy... So my assessment of the book? I actually agree with most of the criticism of the book. It's definitely a Young Adult book, and one written by a teenager, by which I mean: it is largely derivative of other works, and many of the motifs, plots, and characters are borrowed; the plot is moved forward by improbably coincidences and random decisions portrayed as obvious choices; and (perhaps the biggest "Young Adult" characteristic) the story sounds like a school boy fantasy (a normal boy turns into -- in a few short months -- a sword master, magic wielding, dragon riding hero who fights titanic battles and falls in love with elven princesses). However, unlike most of the reviewers, I expected it to be a Young Adult book. And I don't hold that against it. So the short version of my review?: It's not Tolkien, but it entertained me.
