I would recommend this to anyone who has ever had any sense of imagination at all. This book is suited to all, fans of fantasy, fans of horror fans of either of the two authors. It is a perfect blending of genres which never fails to leave an impression. Its characters are brilliantly developed throughout, but its Jack Sawyers brilliant blend of heroism yet still just a boy that keeps you hooked to see what will hapeen to him next. As much as i do love this book however i will be honest, I would not have bothered with it had it not been for another Stephen King fantasy epic... The Dark Tower, I had heard of this books sequel "Black House" and decided I wanted to read it (and Ive yet to do so) but i then discovered Black House was a sequel to another called The Talisman, so i decided to go on and read that first. It was a great move, and this book actually compares well to The Tower itself. Other than that all I can do is say again, Read this book, fans of fantasy fans of King I urge you, you need this book in your life!

Format:Paperback
In my mind, to start with, I pictured Jack Sawyer as a very young boy. As the book goes further into his adventures I could sense him growing into a young man, and felt drawn into this and the other world with him, meeting strange creatures and characters. I just couldn't put this book down, and would recommend it to any lovers of fantasy.

This is a gorgeous book. The characters are utterly compelling, the worlds are rich and well described, the good guys are loveable but real, the bad guys are eminently despicable. Osmond scared the hell out of me, and Wolf absolutely broke my heart. Morgan of Orris is an incredible presence, underused but all the more terrifying when he does appear. I recommend this book to anyone over the age of 12.
