The Outlaws of Sherwood
 ...A ROBIN WHO COULDN'T HIT THE SIDE OF THE BARN...: Undoubtedly there are other versions of the Robin Hood mythology just waiting to be thought up, written and published. The Sherwood legend is too well loved and too much of an archtype to be left alone [... more]

Dragonhaven
not a keeper: I agree with other reviewers, this is a weak book for McKinley. The book comes across as undeveloped in storyline and characters. The narrator, the boy hero Jake, can be witty, but also sometimes too cute. The book rambles to a close. One [... more]

One of My Favorites!: To start out I'll have to say I devour books. If I had enough books I could read two or three a day as I have done before and read up to five simultaneously but Sunshine was a rare book that captured my entire attention and left me [... more]

Deerskin
Good Fantasy - Great Message: To start off, this is a fantasy. That means you need to suspend disbelief and be prepared for the main character to take a journey of some sort. This also isn't your usual fantasy, not by a long shot. There is too much of [... more]

Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
Amazon.com Review: This much-loved retelling of the classic French tale Beauty and the Beast elicits the familiar magical charm, but is more believable and complex than the traditional story. In this version, Beauty is not as beautiful as her older [... more]

Chalice
Disappointing: I'm a fan of several of McKinley's other novels, including Beauty and The Hero and the Crown. I thought this book had an interesting concept that was poorly fleshed out, and that the telling of the story, especially of the first half of [... more]
