Your review was more interesting to read than the sample on Amazon. I like how your choice of words made the book sound good.

Fate is fickle, they say. It's visible in the transformation of Robby from a an ordinary store clerk to a person of import. The Bellringer gives you action in the early pages to keep you eager to read the rest of the book. Sounds fun and good job with the review.

I'm glad to see it had a nice even pace I tend to think Fantasy books are rushed with too much hard to understand information and can become confusing. Thanks for sharing your review, you made it sound even better.

The Pandora's box concept of this story makes it interesting. I wonder how Robby Ribbon's life changed after ringing the bell.

Thank you for a thorough and all encompassing critique. Miracles touching upon the life of a commoner and waiting to be awakened past glories, as recollected from the story, seem like an interesting pick. What's the age group that you would suggest for the book's readership?

Review of The Bellringer by Thomas Murray
The setting of the book is in a land of fantasy.
Robby is sent on an errand by his father and his uncle Saheed to deliver a parcel to a person that lived far away. He is accompanied by his uncle for part of his journey and then they part ways. To Robby, this is both an exciting and terrifying part of his life since he has never been free to move about and be away from home for a long time, terrifying because he has once been there and the day did not turn out very well for him.
His journey is rigged with misfortune and bad luck.
At a river where he eats he starts seeing things which terrify him. Strange sounds accompany the strange surroundings. The misfortunes do not cease there;two roads appear instead of one and he chooses the wrong road.
Rain is falling and he has to find shelter and fast. Reaching the much spoken about bridge, he doesnt turn back but wants to exolore more.
In the process he encounters foxes that seem keen on turning him into dinner.
Through the lightning flashes, he sees an escape route through the forbidden woods and he takes it.
What happens next...

The book is a good read and relatively a good purchase on Amazon that is worth your time and money. I personally rate it four out of four stars.

I read the sample and this book is awesome! I'm going to read it! This from a person who has only read one fantasy book in all my 44 years! It's not my usual genre.

This novel makes you question the mind and imagination of the writer. The grandfather was very wise in his beliefs of the world.
