Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians

I'm used to reading Sanderson's epic fantasy, but the Alcatraz books are a great lighthearted adventure. Everyone in our family enjoyed reading this book.

This book is amazing: I can't decide if it's genius or ridiculous, if it's funny or silly. I remember I got similar feelings while reading "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" even though they're quite different books. Definitely worth reading the rest of the books too, considering they are both short and enjoyable.

This book is recommended for readers between the ages of nine to twelve. Well, it was one of the funniest books I ever read and it is certainly worth reading, even if you should happen to be in your twenties (I'm 27, by the way, and a fan of 'hard space operas' and 'hard science fiction' and fantasy operas/series; i. e. for example works by authors like alastair reynolds, dan symmons, peter f. hamilton, scott lynch, jim butcher, a.s.o....) or older. I've never laughed so hard since aeons, as when Sanderson described the 'Talent' for the first time or the different stages and values of science in his two societies.Everyone should read this book and, of course, beware off the evil Librarians, because they will reduce your mind's worlds; and imagination shall never flourish again, if you miss this work of art!Für alle Deutschen, die diese 'Rezension' lesen: wenn Ihr Eltern seid, setzt in Eurem Elternbeirat durch, daß die angestaubten Werke von Shakespeare und Co. im Englisch-Unterricht nicht als "so bedeutend" bewertet werden, wie dieses moderne Buch! Es ist schnell gelesen (weil groß geschrieben und mitreißend), voller Wortspiele und Idiome; wichtiger noch: es macht beim Lesen einfach nur Spaß. So kann man seine Kinder bilden, ohne 'große Literatur' - die kommt im Deutschunterricht eh schon zu häufig zum tragen!

He’s a great writer for young adults and adults. But this was tonally obnoxious and a nauseating read.

Prompt delivery, good product. Thanks :)
