"This is the most magical book I've ever read. It was dramatised by the BBC back in '82 and was a part of my childhood. It remains my favourite book to this day."
"Forget Harry Potter (which I never could get into) this is a far better author and concept. It has an appeal that is immediate and compelling and I urge people to read it."
"A beautiful world, cunningly sculpted and lovingly portrayed. Tolkien might be hailed as a master of fantasy, but Robert Jorden is close to equaling the master."
"Though the names might be a bit difficult to pronounce (even for someone with family in Wales) this remains one of the best collections of myths and legends around."
"A very difficult feat to pull off successfully. However, Pratchett has improved and this remains the foundation of his strange and much loved creation."
"A magnificent novel from the God of Science Fiction. Verne remains for me the best sci-fi authoer ever and this is a must for any of his fans or for those new to his work."
"The best sci-fi book around. The novel contains stunning detail and isn't just about Captain Nemo. You can learn so much about the world of the period without delving too deep. A masterpiece."
