An exellent book series that I think anyone who enjoys fantasy would like. (personally, though, i didn't much like the ending because i'm a softie and waaah no one should get hurt. but overall...) Really, really fun to read!

I love this seiries so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. It is amazing a little scary but full of action and suspense
Great book. Action packed and a page-turner. Not as good as Harry Potter but they seem to be good reads.
this book reminds me of harry potter a little bit. i don't seem to love this book but i do like it a bit.
this book is very good! the series is worth it! even though it starts out sort of.. odd.... it gets so much better! good for ages 10 and up.!
