Rating: 4
Summary: A good book to get young readers interested...
Comment: This book intrigued me when I was in a used bookstore and read the cover. It stated, "Tarik is as valiant as King Arthur and as brave as Luke Skywalker". Well, that made me laugh, and the cover was typical of YA fantasy with its noble knight riding a warhorse. So, just for chucks (read Stephen King's IT, to understand that reference) I bought it. Well, the book surprised me because the hero was a young black man. I was not expecting this in the least. I think that the plot is simple enough for anyone above the age of eleven to comprehend, and it is exciting enough to keep anyone interested. I suggest this book to anyone who is wanting to get youths to read. Also, since the character is a Black, it exposes children to new views. I am sure that most kids think of heroes in books as white, but this book breaks down that barrier.

Summary: Classroom reading
Comment: I have read it in the classroom with my other 7th grade students. This book was a simple outline with great detail, but I have not learned anything from this book, nor did I think it was extremely suspensful. To any reader, I suggest you take a peek. To a younger reader, pulling out a cyclop's eye, getting your father killed, might be a tad bit too... "creepy" maybe?
