Official Review: Claws of the Dragon- the Fu Gambit

[ALynnPowers]

I have never had a popular topic, so it would be awesome if this one could make it up there!

I'm sure the author would love to see that as well!

I wonder how many authors actually read the reviews. The angry, unprofessional ones always do

[ALynnPowers]

Most/all of my mine do, I'm sure. At least, I'm pretty sure. Most have commented on them or thanked me for them.

Usually if I see a review this long, I just read the first paragraph and then scan it for the general feel of whether the reviewer thought the story was good or bad and if is a complete story or cliffhanger, which often includes reading the last paragraph. This review, though lengthy at first glance, grabbed my attention span and convinced me to listen. I like the unbiased descriptive portion of the review preceding the opinions of what were the best and worst qualities of this author's style. As an avid reader, I have had plenty of opportunity to try out this cliffhanger style of story continuation. This book sounds very interesting and I am tempted to read it just because this review is so well written. But in all honesty, I will never read another of these abruptly ended partial stories.

Wow, thanks. Glad to see you could get into it, even if it was long.

Personally not a fan of a cliffhanger book, but loved your review. I'll check it out when I can have the whole series on hand.

Okay, group effort to try to make that happen.

That's what I'm talking' 'bout.

Thanks for reading!

I want a dragon.
I know of a really awesome dragon

His name is Smoky...and he's...violent.
His hair can braid itself.

I love books.

Someone should start a thread about dragon books.

I used to read a bunch of dragon books when I was in Jr./Sr. High school. Then I got out of touch with them until I met my boyfriend, and he is obsessed with dragons. But since he is Japanese, I got a whole new look at dragons, since the Asian version of dragons is a bit different than the western version.

Really? Please do explain

Here you go...

Eastern


No wings, but they can fly.
Falkor was an eastern dragon.
If I'm remembering correctly, benevolent.
At the least...they're highly regarded..

Western


Winged and heavy bodied.
For the most part feared.
Often associated with evil.
Reviled.
