Warrior Story Give-Away for World Book Night--Great choice!


Vincent Pratchett's THE RAVEN'S WARRIOR is a book that, I am sure, is a wonder for guys to read.  As a woman, I liked it, but I am not typically drawn to war stories, and this is certainly a war story.  The story is well told and the plot is definitely one to keep the attention of the audience, including someone like me.  What bored me a little bit (made it a little difficult to get through) are the specific details about war as well as the training of the warrior.  It's kind of like Herman Melville's MOBY DICK--a super great story and well worth the read once the reader gets through all the whaling information.  Once I waded through the training information in THE RAVEN'S WARRIOR, I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

We gave away many copies of THE RAVEN'S WARRIOR this year at Catawba Valley Community College for World Book Night.  I'm glad we did.  I honestly think that anyone who received it as his/her book will enjoy it and that it will help him/her be excited about World Book Night 2015!
